Wedding Invitations

Who to have in the bridal party can sometimes be a difficult decision, especially if you know many people and you don’t want to offend anyone. 

If you’re lucky you only know a few females. But what happens when your sisters, soon to be sister in-laws, cousins, friends and other gals you know, all feel they should be in the bridal party?

I’ve actually heard of some situations that got so out of control, people had to draw names from a hat. This way every potential bridal party member knew it was random and felt better about the decision.  It’s no wonder people elope ;0).

Sure you can have up to twenty five people in the wedding party, but keep in mind the more people in the bridal party, the more people there are to please. For example, the more women in your bridal party, the harder it is to find a dress that works for everyone.
Another thing to consider is are you going to have them stand in a line and have everyone shake their hand? That could take a very long time and people may get annoyed (both the bridal party and the guests). 

Unfortunately in many situations, regardless of what you do it’s inevitable there will usually be someone who’s hurt or offended. You can’t have everyone in the bridal party and people should understand that.

An understanding of wedding etiquette is a big deal for the bridal party, as everyone will notice them. Be sure to discuss the do’s and don’ts and how things are going to go on your big day.
