Hello Lovelies -
I'm having the hardest time with this topic. My fiance + I have decided to keep the ceremony intimate -- with just our parents, siblings, grandparents + our bridal party {which consists of 3 on each side... half of that party being sibilings, the other half - our closest childhood friends}. A formal sit-down dinner will follow the ceremony for these guests... The reception will begin later that evening with just drinks, deserts + dancing {no sit-down dinner + pizza being served later on} and our guest lists is about 200 people.
Now....... I want my OTHER girlfriends to all be involved more than just coming to the reception as guests -- so I came up with the concept of having a Posse in addition to the Bridal Party. {My fiance is still on the fence if he wants to put together one since he claims that "he doesn't have that many close guy friends"}.
My "Posse" will consist of 8 girls. They will get ready with me at the hotel {Hair, Makeup, etc.} and are all asked to choose a grey above the knee dress to wear {my actual bridesmaids are wearing mint green alfred sung dresses chosen for them} so that they stand out from other guests at the Reception. They will also ride the party bus following the sit-down dinner after the ceremony, but will not be at the actual ceremony or sit-down dinner {they will have reservations to eat at the resturant in the ceremony/reception venue} since we will JUST be sharing that moment with immedate family.
Does this seem totally hodge-podge?
Has another else done anything similar to this?
Thoughts? Comments? Tips?
Thanks in advance - xox
