Strip tour, are you bringing your wedding party?

hstaples4

We're doing our strip tour before the ceremony and I'm trying to decide if it will be just me and the FI or if I want the bridesmaids and groomsmen to go to? I'm leaning towards having it be all of us but was just curious what everyone elses plans are/were.

We didn't do one, but if we would have I think it would've been fun to have the whole bridal party along - you can get some fun shots with the group but still have awesome ones with just the two of you.

I'm glad you asked this as I've been debating about this as well.  We are planning to do ours after the ceremony butI'm torn between having the wedding party come or not.  If they don't come, I'm not sure what they will be doing in the meantime while FI and I are on the strip tour.

Don't mean to sound bratty, but wouldn't they be doing the same thing the as the rest of your guests while you're on the strip tour?

No not bratty at all.  I totally get what you are saying.  We arent having a huge number of guests (maybe 15 max) so I guess they can just sorta hang out and have drinks/appetizers till we get back.

I just hate how sometimes things can seem snotty when you write it even though it's not what you meant... :)  And I'm sure they'll have no problem mingling with the rest of the guests if you decide to do the strip tour alone.

I think I am going to have them all go.

I really want a picture of everyone at the Vegas sign and a few other places. Maybe it'll help FI loosen up to for the picturestoo, in our engaemnet pictures he looked a bit stiff.. Or it'll make him feel more uncomfortable having people look at him.  Oh well I'm sure we'll have a fun time at least.

I'm bringing my whole bridal party except the kids. :-)

Mine are coming.  They are super excited actually and bring it up pretty often!

My whole wedding party came, along with my mom. We had 13 people plus 2 photographers! It was definitely a little crazy. But the wedding party didn't get pictures in every location. H and I and the photogs wandered around Bellagio on our own. The wedding party stayed with the limo. I thought that was a good balance. Getting 13 people organized in a casino might have been a little difficult.

But if you have a small wedding party, I wouldn't worry about it. We all had a lot of fun. We also did pics before the ceremony.

I took mine as well,  my party was pretty small (3 BM's & 3 GM's) 

For the most part, the photographer concentrated on me and my H, but we were also able to get pictures of just the girls/guys then the whole party at the Vegas sign etc

Also, it did help having the extra people around to straighten out the dress, smooth out the hair, carry stuff, give suggestions and lighten the mood.

It was tons of fun and some of my favorite pictures are with the entire party.  So if you've got cool people you don't mind hanging with, I think it would be nice to have them with you.
