Who's normally goes for pictures after the ceremony? Parents, siblings and bridal party correct? What about S/Os?

    Anyone who you want in the pictures you are taking.  If some of the SOs are not married you can do two versions of those pictures, one with the SO and one without (just in case they break up).

    Perfect solution, thank you. That was my only worry, was in case some of the S/O break up.

    We did all our family pictures before the ceremony, but we included my sister's husband and my sister's boyfriend in some of the pictures. They were in the family picture and it's one of my favorite pics from my wedding.  

    My best friend's (bridesmaid) plus one was not in any of the posed pictures, though he wasn't a SO. I think family SO is normal, but your bridesmaid boyfriend or husband may not be.

    My husband's brother's wife was being a brat and didn't show up for pictures so she isn't in any of them. Oh well, sorrynotsorry.

    @huskypuppy14 For some reason my brain decided at first that your sister brought both a husband and a boyfriend with her.

    I'm assuming now that you have two sisters?

    In my family married and engaged SO were always included in some of the pictures. There were some with and without SO's.  

     To be fair my family meets and gets engaged quickly so we just never dealt with a long term SO (not married or engaged) at a wedding.

    At SIL's wedding a few weeks ago myself and BIL's now-FI (she was a gf at the wedding) were included in some of the family shots.   Again there were some with and without us.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    We did us plus parents. Us plus parents & sibling. Us plus grandparents. That was it (we did bridal party ones before the ceremony). Also it was raining so we were squeezed into a tight spot and didn't have the room to do like a big group shot.

    See, I don't get this reason. Sure I'd like pictures with my family alone and with their SOs, but not because I'm worried they may not be together some time in the near or far future. I guess I don't understand why this would be a reason. It's like you taking a family pic with your FI and them taking a 'just in case' pic without you.
