The Bridal Party

lindad14

One thing I would do differently is I would have had a smaller bridal party. There were certain people in there that we felt obligated to ask, and looking back, it would have been more special if we only had family/very close friends. I am not even friends with one of my bridesmaids anymore, and there she is in all of my wedding photos! So before you ask everyone you know, really think about who is really important and you want standing up at that altar with you.

I feel the same way. I also like the idea of having a bunch of smaller parties, so you can tailor the festivities more appropriately rather than having to try and please everyone.
