A girl doesn't need to think too hard when asked who her maid of honor will be. It might be the girl who’s been her best friend since they were five years old or maybe her old college roommate. But how do you choose the other important people that you want to stand up with you in your wedding? Before you make that decision, you need to have a specific number in mind. Your wedding budget will help determine how many will be in your wedding party. Here are some important things to keep in mind when choosing your attendants:
~ Which of your friends are you closest to? Are there certain people who expect to stand up with you on your wedding day?
~ Which of your friends are you closest to? Are there certain people who expect to stand up with you on your wedding day?
~ Can these chosen few afford the costs that go along with being a part of the wedding party? (attire, special showers/parties)
~ Will they be able to handle the responsibilities that go along with the honor?
~ Are you financially able to pay for bouquets for the bridesmaids and boutonnieres for the groomsmen?
~ Are you prepared to buy gifts for all attendants?
The general room of thumb is one usher and one bridesmaid for every 50 guests invited. This can be a sensitive process, as some feelings may inevitably be hurt. However, this is your day and while the feelings of your close friends and family are important to consider, don’t forget about your own feelings in the process.
