Wedding Attendants
Hello~
The next item on the wedding checklist is selecting your wedding attendants. This can be a difficult decision to make, as you will
begin to learn in all your planning.
It is truly a special honor to be a part of the wedding party. You are essentially selecting those individuals who will best represent you and your future husband.
It is common for couples to select between two and six attendants, and a flower girl and ring bearer. I wouldn't make the decision and then ask the individual. Take your time and about 8-9 months before, ask the person. You never know if you will still be in touch or something may happen if you ask too early, and then it can cause hard-feelings, which you should avoid (especially when trying to plan a wedding)
You should think about selecting:
1. Maid-of-Honor- typically a sibling or a very close friend. The maid of honor is responsible for helping the bride to be throughout the planning process, basically the "right hand man."
Best Man- usually the brother of the groom or a very close friend. The groom is responsible for throwing a bachelor party for the groom, bringing the groom to the ceremony, and giving the speech at the reception.
The best man and maid of honor walk down the aisle together.
Flower Girl- Typically, the flower girl is between the ages of 4-11. Her main responsibility is to spread roses down the aisle before the bride makes her way down the aisle. Her companion is called the Ringbearer. 
Ringbearer- Usually the same age guidelines apply as the flowergirl. The ringbearer is responsible for bringing the rings with him down the aisle. This is symbolic in a way, and is usually tied to two strings on a white pillow.
The flowergirl and ringbearer walk down the aisle together.
Finally, it is up to the bride and groom to decide on the number of attendants they want in the bridal party. It is typical to choose close family members and friends. I would choose between four and five bridesmaids. It makes the procession look amazing. Don't make the mistake of asking too many people, I once was at a wedding where there were 15 BRIDESMAIDS...I'm serious...15!!!! It took forever for them to walk down the aisle..so, you want to keep it rather small.
But overall, just pick those who are close to you because you want to have your best friends in the world standing there being a part of this miraculous day.
