Selecting Your Wedding Party

This is a very important part of your wedding: Who to choose and what are their duties?

Maid of Honor – The bride will usually first pick from a sister near her age or their most loyal friend. The Maid of Honor is the ring leader and emotional support who plans the shower and bachelorette party and is responsible for keeping the bridesmaids up to date on what they should be doing for the bride and her wedding.

Best Man – A brother or a best friend who is responsible. Takes care of bachelor events and offers support to the groom. He is charge of keeping track of the wedding rings and is responsible for giving the first toast at the reception.

Bridesmaids – Sisters or great friends who will stand by your side no matter what type of bride you will become (i.e. bridezilla). Choose girl friends that have the time and the financial means to be in and help you with your wedding. Don’t forget your future sister-n-law.

Groomsmen – Brothers, cousins, or best buds. Groomsmen may help with seating guests, help the best man throw a bachelor party, and are gentleman to the bridesmaids.

Flower Girl – Choose your adorable little sister, niece, cousin between the age of three and six. She scatters flower petals as she walks down the aisle. Be prepared for any type of disruption while she walks down the aisle.

Ring Bearer – Usually between the age of three and seven and is in charge of caring the wedding rings, or copies, on a pillow during the processional. The ring bearer should attend the rehearsal so they feel comfortable walking down the aisle.
