I'm not having either.

I'm only having flower girls/page boys.

@Eliza9919 ooo that's a good shout. Kids only... I've got 5 nieces and nephews and my own baby on the way who will be old enough to be a flower girl/page boy by time we get married.

We would like a small, intimate wedding and the only two people I'd consider as bridesmaids/maid of honour would be my sister who has children of her own and is older and my DP sister who I think is expecting to be asked but not really keen. Likewise DP isn't fussed about having his brother as an usher and would be choosing a best man for the sake of having one really.

We're just one bridesmaid & 2 flower girls. Small wedding. Hadn't even considered ushers tbh, lol

Just having my teenage Dd as bridesmaid. That's it though no best man or ushers, it's going to be a simple wedding.

Me. Don’t like weddings as it is (bevause the guest list tends to make everyone feel slightly awkward-most people struggle with mixed social groups for some reason). I wouldn’t voluntarily have one of those kinds of weddings. The formality just makes people even more boring.

We had about 100 people at our wedding so not exactly small, but I only had my oldest friend as the one bridesmaid. No best man. We did have five ushers, DBs and friends, but they were worth their weight in terms of ushing and assisting.

We had bridesmaids but no ushers in an attempt to keep the cost down. With hindsight, it was a mistake. The two bits of the wedding that didn’t go very smoothly were rounding guests up for the group photos and rounding them up again when it was time to move venue. Ushers would have helped.

Hi I need some advice. I'm getting married in 10 weeks and my maid of honor is avoiding my calls. I've brought her dress she has not tried it on. Every appointment I've set she has not turned down. She is not even coming to my hen do witch I organised myself. I've rang her no answer I've sent her txts nothing. It could be that she is busy I don't know. I feel like she don't won't to be bridesmaid anymore. I have asked but no answer. I don't know what to do please help ☹️☹️

If were you I would try to see her face to face. Turn up at her house when you know she'll be in? She'll have to admit then if there is a problem. Unfortunately weddings can bring out the worst in people. I know 2 people who have fallen out with a very good friend who was meant to be a bridesmaid for them. One 1 week before the wedding & the other friendship dwindled after the wedding Confused
