Next up in your planning list is choosing your bridal party for your wedding. This is a fun and at times stressful activity when in wedding planning. But with these few tips, it may be able to take the stress away and figure out who will be in your bridal entourage.

1. How Many?
This is the first question you need to ask yourself – How many and How much is too much? You need to have a realistic number in mind of people you would like in your wedding entourage.

2. How to Decide?
This is a difficult decision but a simple solution is to take a look at those people who are special to you, who you are close to, who you have a great relationships with and who will be there to support you through your day and make it a fun, fabulous experience for you. Pick people who you want to be surrounded with and pick people as a group who will work together.

3. Select the Maid of Honor/ Best Man
The biggest job in the wedding entourage goes to the maid of honor and the best man. The two people you appoint to these jobs should be someone who is cool, responsible, calm and collected. Someone you know you can rely on throughout the day to keep it on course. They are usually responsible for holding the bridal shower for her and the bachelor party for him. They are with you at their side throughout the wedding day.

4. Find a Flower Girl/ Ring Bearer
Are you going to have a flower girl or a ring bearer involved? If you have a special niece or a nephew or even a child of your own that you would like to include in your celebration, by all means let them be a part of your celebration. It’s recommended that the children be ages 4 and up for this important job as any younger than that it will be difficult for the little one to concentrate on their job well.

5. When to Ask?
As soon as you figure out who the people you want to be in the entourage, then it’s time to ask them. Make sure you ask them personally (preferably not through an email or social media). A phone call or a meeting is a good way to go and they will absolutely be thrilled to be a part of your day.
