We aren't having a wedding party either.  All we're having is my Matron of Honor and Best Man.  Like you, we didn't want to trouble anyone and we wanted to keep it simple as well.  I don't think you a

We're not having any...never really liked the idea of bridesmaids! We're having a MOH and bestman, mainly just to act as our witnesses and they're friends that are coming to the wedding anyway. I also

We decided not to have a wedding party for a variety of reasons. I was a little worried about how my closest girlfriends would react to this so for the girls who I would have asked to be in my wedding party if we were going that route I wrote them each a little card explaining our reasons and letting them know how important they are to me regardless of not having a "bridesmaid" title and how much it will mean for them to just be there enjoying themselves!

 

They all really loved the gesture and there were no hard feelings.

I'm not having a bridal party, I think you will be fine either way.  I wouldn't expect any drama since my BMs would have been my sisters (i have 4) and a very good friend. All of my sisters before me did it this way and we had smooth sailing.  No drama at all. I just dont want any because I dont want to be bothered with the extra. Let everyone wear what they want, have all the fun they want and it saves money on flowers!

I don't think it's weird and I actually think it's quite smart without all the drama that can ensue. With that said, I only a MOH (my cousin) , BM (his cousin), flower girl (my daughter) and ring bearer (my nephew). Then I added a bridesmaid (my brothers gf) and groomsman (my brother). Now DF wants to add my cousin as a groomsman so I have to find another bridesmaid. I wanted a simple wedding party for now drama although I don't think they will cause any, I wanted it small so if they needed help I could help and with 6 people I feel I am stretching it a bit much.

Wow I"m so lucky, nobody said ANYTHING about me not having Bridesmaids, like seriously, not a thing was brought up it was just an ookay cool kind of thing.  But they know my love for pink so were probabl;y scared about the dresses, hahahaa.  Good luck with the drama!   I never could have imagined people woudl be mad about it.  I've been Bridesmaid and MoH and its NOT worth the hastle!!!!

I kinda wish we could have nobody. My fiancé's best friend is kinda flaky and we're now 6 days away from the deadline to book and he still hasn't. I don't know will be best man if he doesn't come, and I've now asked my two best friends to stand up for me, both of whom initially said yes, and then recanted and said they couldn't make it to Cuba. So now, I'm totally stuck on who to have stand up for me.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
