(1) List all the important women in your life–include both family members and friends.

The first step is to list down all the important women in your life, from the childhood to the present. Think of women who have been influential figures–such as women who have helped mould you into the person you are today, women who have helped you through difficult time, or women who are there for you no matter what. Include both family members and friends when making this initial list.

 

(2) Based on your wedding budget and the size of the wedding, decide on the final number of bridesmaids you will have.

Based on your budget and the size of your wedding, decide on a number of entourage members that will be suitable for you. You don’t want to have too many bridesmaids, nor do you want to have too little. Think of the responsibilities that you will need to divide among them, too. Balance out the tasks with the final number of bridesmaids you plan to have and see if everything you need to be done by them will be covered.
