Are you having or did you have a bridal party for your wedding? I always thought I would have one and of course would love to have all of my best friends in my wedding. But after talking with my fiance, I'm not so sure if we should have one anymore.
FI doesn't have a strong preference but he doesn't really want to ask his friends to perform any small 'duties' during the wedding. He just wants them to all come and have fun (which of couse I want for my friends too). Plus, I'm not sure how I would integrate everyone into the ceremony. And I wouldn't want all of the logistics to be too stressful or inconvenient for them. Most of our bridal party would be non-Indian so they would all need to get measured for the Indianwear for the ceremony. For the reception, I'd tell them that they could wear whatever they want but the thought of everyone changing into Western clothes and getting ready for the reception during the cocktail hour might not be enough time for everyone.
What did you do? Thanks in advance for any thoughts/opinions!
