Eliminate The Circus!
I have 2 Maids of Honor, 6 Bridesmaids and a Jr. Bridesmaids. I still have about 8-10 people that I have as a second tier of really close friends and woul dlike to include as personal attendents, hosts, etc.
First question: How do I ichoose which ones get to be in the wedding and which don`t?
Second question: How do I include most of them without making a circus out of the whole thing-- while still including some of them and making them feel special?
Third question: I was in a friend`s wedding two summer`s ago. We were roommates for a year prior to the wedding- but I never really considered her a REALLY good friend of mine. Now we live in different states and talk a a few times a month. I do not feel like I need to include her in the wedding party-- because I have much closer friends than her. However, I think she will feel REALLY left out if I don`t even include her in the CIRCUS of people that I would like to include as personal attendants, etc! How do I handle that?
Thanks!! :)

First of all, your wedding is about you and your fiancee, not the bridal party and attendants. Sit down with your husband to be and discuss the people involved. After talking about each person individualy, you should be able to see which ones are the best for your wedding party. You need to look at dependability, length of time you`ve know them and most importantly how close you are. Family should come first and then your best of the best friends (the ones you can tell anything to, etc.).
Also about the old roommate, I think a simple invitaion to the wedding would be appropriate. I hope this helps.
