Creative Ways to Ask Your Girls!

So, Let's go over each one:

1. Make sure that you keep in mind that this is the one day in your life that it is all about the loveyou and your husband have for one another. Do not sweat the small stuff, because you have the restof your lives to spend together and this is ALL ABOUT YOUR FUTURE not theirs.

2. Are you getting pressure from your aunt "what's her name?" to include cousin "who's that?"in your wedding party? There are polite ways to turn people down if they are expecting you toinclude someone that you do not know very well (or an old friend that feels they should be includedeven though you haven't talked in years!). Try saying:

Wow, that is so kind that you would offer, but I actually am not sure what we are doing for thewedding party yet.I may be keeping my wedding party small.I was actually thinking of including you more in the ceremony, would you be a reader?

3. Who cares if there is an odd number! These are supposed to be your nearest and dearest ladies(or men) to your heart. If you really want to add one more, it is only your opinion that matters in theend.

4. If you not asking or not doing something is going to lead to regrets down the road for one reasonor another, then go for it! As mentioned, you want to make this a happy day of celebration, not onewhere you will be worrying or regretting.

5. If someone is being too opinionated, plan a time to go grab a coffee and discuss what you arethinking. Although they may not want to hear it, tell them you love their ideas, but this is what youwant to do for YOUR wedding. Sometimes you may have someone trying to relive their wedding orinfluence you based on what they want for the future. Bring pictures and your ideas so that you canshow them YOUR vision. Say, oh your idea the other day really inspired me to do...

6. Not that it is traditional, but my sister had 6 bridesmaids and her husband had 12 groomsmen!!Yes, you heard that right. The men walked the ladies 2 by 1 down the aisle and the pictures andevent looked wonderful! I actually had 9 and my husband had 9- is that ridiculous? Probably, but Icould not have gone through my day without all of my girls. They collectively made my day the mostspecial.
