How To Have A Wedding Without Friends

If you’re planning a wedding and want to avoid inviting your friends, check out this list of four key ways you can still have a great, celebratory day by spending more time with your family and relying on video streaming options to keep your friends happy.

Choose Your Family Members to Fill Out Your Bridal Party

If you’re not having friends at your wedding, you still have several options to fill out your bridal party. Primarily, your bridesmaids and maid of honor will come from the ranks of your female relatives.

Consider asking your sisters, cousins, aunts, grandmothers, or mother to stand in for you. If you don’t have enough people on your side of the family to fill out your bridal party, see if your fiance’s female relatives will stand in for you. This can be a great way to connect with them even more.

Consider Having Bridesmen

If you still don’t have enough ladies to fill out your bridal party, or if you’re very close with your brothers, male cousins, uncles, or other male relatives, consider having bridesmen in your bridal party. This is a more modern option, but it can definitely be a great option for you.

Hire a Professional Bridesmaid

One other option you may want to try is hiring a professional bridesmaid. These ladies are very experienced with weddings and can be a huge help to you on your wedding day. They can be very level-headed and are not emotionally invested in the celebrations, so they can help handle disagreements and other issues without being too connected to the goings-on.

Offer Video Call Options

If you want to provide your friends with a way to see our wedding without being present, consider offering video call options or live streaming your wedding. This can be a very easy way to let your friend groups be a part of your big day without needing to spend the extra money on meals, invitations, or save-the-dates. Not to mention being able to avoid the stress of determining who to invite.

Are You Getting Married Soon?
