i have a group of girlfriends that i have been close with since birth. as a result, i’ve never really had STRONG personal connection to any of them individually…in addition, i moved away from them and they all hang out and live together in the city by our hometown. whereas i have no other close personaly friends in my own city.

it’s going to be so awkward to choose one person to be my maid of honor. but i guess i have to..? my husband has his best man selected easily.

Any chance a family member could stand in as MOH? Or maybe consider doing away with all bridal/groom parties and inviting your friends to the shower or bachelorette party?

What about making them all bridesmaids and having a close relative (mom, grandma, aunt) perform the MOH duties (hold the flowers, sign as witness)? Then appoint one to throw a Bach party and another to give a speech.

Make them all MOH!

all great ideas. thanks. probably can’t do family as they want to watch and we are not that close but would be fun. will definitely shoot for it.

I didn’t specify that anyone was MOH amongst my four bridesmaids and there were no issues. My friends are really laid back though. They all split doing MOH duties.

I hear about wedding planners helping with the timeline of planning a wedding and assisting in things. But I don’t want to make decisions. I’ve never been to an ugly wedding and after discussing my vision and vibe I trust a professional to do it. Maybe give me two options and I’ll pick one here and there. Is this possible? Do wedding planners do this? I’m really not interested in doing the planning - I’m an over thinker and feel planning a wedding will kill me lol.

I’m notoriously bad with “aesthetic” and design. I’ve hired all my vendors, including lighting and florals, but am now starting to think through what other decorations/logistical items are needed - signage, dessert table trays, guest book, bar top, etc... whenever I google how to start thinking about wedding decorations all the sites are just telling me to rent linens vs buy frames, which... isn’t helpful. How is everyone else here tackling this?!

Comment where you are cutting back to save money. Here are ours:
- Not doing a presidential suite, instead we’re getting a normal suite and using a conference room for hair/makeup/meals
- Centerpieces. We are doing a few bigger centerpieces, then small bud vases at the rest of the tables.
- Transportation for guests. Our wedding is in a major city and ubers are easily accessible.
- Flowers. No flowers for men, only the groom is getting a boutonnière. No flowers for parents/grandparents.

Need some advice! Should we update our wedding start time to 4pm so we can have our after party 10pm-1am instead of 5pm wedding start and 11pm-1am after party? We sent wedding invites with a 5pm start time because we have 6hrs at the venue and the bar around the corner said the after party had to be 11pm-1am. Now bar said thee after party can start at 10pm. We can realistically contact all who RSVPd yes to let them know AND a 4pm start time means we still have daylight (it’s a winter wedding).
