That's what i'm trying to decide now and i'm getting married Sept 2010.

What i was told was wait a little bit because of what u said, you don't know what friendships are going to be like then since its a good 20 months away.

I guess it depends on who your asking. 4 of the girls are def either cuz they are fam of me or FH, or i've known them since 2nd grade and might as well be fam. Out of the other 3 one already knows she's in it because she's not stupid and figured out everyone else i'm asking too lol.

I'm gonna wait until the spring. Don't ask anyone though unless u know who ur MOH is and if ur FH knows who is groomsmen are. IMO they shuold be asked at the same time.

Well i got married In Novemeber, and I asked everyone in December. I am in a wedding this October, and she asked everyone this past week.

Personally I would wait till like October of this year to ask people b/c a lot can change in 2 years!

Hey!!!

We are date twins ! So, we can discuss exactly when haha. I was going to wait until a year before, however all my friends would rather get the official invitation sooner so they have more time to save, so I will be doing it sooner rather than later. If there wasn't the money issue, I'd wait until a year before.

Hope this helps!

I asked a week after I got engaged since everyone in my BP was there for the proposal

IMO I would ask early just in case someone can't be in it for some reason then you'll have time to ask someone else if you want

I think the latest you should wait would maybe be sept or august. A little over a year should be enough time to save money!

Re: when to ask bridesmaids?

I think waiting is a good idea. There was a whole thread on the ;09 board today about finding out who your real friends are during the planning process. But if you do decide to wait, I wouldn't invite anyone until youv'e decided to avoid hurt feelings, pressure from other people, etc. I was lucky because I only have like 2 friends and my sister so my decision was easy!
