Default Wedding Party
I am getting married in Aug and need some help with the wedding party. We are trying to plan things and I am finding out that I know less and less about weddings & traditions & etiquette.

I was thinking of having my best friend be a bridesmaid and then my future sister in law & cousin in law. (I am close to all of them) The problem is I am not sure if it is incorrect to have them be bridesmaids. The in laws are married (their second marriage each) and older than I am. I am 28 first marriage and they are in their late 40's. Is this weird or are bridesmaids supposed to be younger, unmarried, or what?

Please help me! I dont have a clue...

Thanks

First of all, Welcome. You came to the right place to help with a wedding. Congrats on you engagement and look forward to hearing more about you.

Unfortunatly I do not know the answers to you questions, but I am very sure the girls here will be of great assistance.

Welcome!

I am not sure what is considered proper but I think there is nothing wrong with your BM's being older and married. In our wedding I even had a male attendant (I called him a sir of honor SOH--I also had a MOH--Maid Of Honor). It will be interesting to hear what the others have to say!

Welcome to Pash!

You can have whoever you want as your attendants. It doesn't matter if they're older, younger, married, unmarried, or even men! It's the people that you are closest to that you want to stand beside you on such a memorable day. Pick the people that you know will support you and help you plan the wedding of your dreams.
