The Bridal Party..an Honor or an Obligation? Day One Wedding Traditions Forum




So we are starting out the wedding tradition discussion with the ever-so-present Bridal Party.  If you are a factoid geek, like myself...check out the very fascinating history of the bridal party. If you are a movie geek, perhaps you have recently checked out this humorous representation of Bridesmaids.  

   WE WANT TO KNOW....
Is being asked to be a a part of the Bridal Party is a huge honor and a role you are delighted to accept.. or an obligatory commitment that will just end up costing you a boatload of headaches and cash? 

Should the bridesmaids have the primary say in choosing the dress...or should it be the bride's choice?

Should every single important family member and close friend be included in the party, or should it be a smaller, more intimate circle?  Is it even necessary to have a bridal party?

What are your thoughts on having a parent as a maid of honor or best man?

Flower girls and Ring Bearers....adorable addition or additional distraction?

**What are some creative approaches you have taken or have seen others taken when it comes to the bridal party?

Please share your thoughts with us below. You can answer one or all of the questions-or anything at all really. It will only take you a second or two and you will be entered to win a daily prize (super-cool Allebach Photography bling), and the GRAND PRIZE of a FREE one-hour session with Mike!
