Drama over choosing maids will not help us.Because, it may lead to misunderstanding...So it is better to discuss with the parents and relatives, then finalize the maids.

dramatic life cannot satisfy any one life so there is a need for us to have a practical way of living.

I agree this 100%.One day the dramatic life will turn out and when it comes to every one's knowledge, it will be shame full....

I always think it is best to ask sisters to be bridemaids. After that, good friends or close family.  It can be alot of drama especially if someone expects to be asked to be a bridesmaid and you don't choose that person.  Or if you ask two people who really don't like each other.

I think you should ask whoever you want to ask.  It's your day and you want the people you want in it to share the day with you.  I do think that sisters are a great choice.  I would assume that they would think they would be asked.

I don't think you have to have a family member be the maid of honor though, you can ask a friend.

It is great when you have sisters that can be your bridesmaids. I have 4 sisters, so I didn't have to deal with the drama that can come up when you don't ask every single friend you have to be in your wedding!

When it comes to bride's maids, who would you prefer, relatives or friends? I thought that it would be nice if fiends would be able to participate in the entourage. Should I prioritize them too?

that is the best idea i think..discussing it and asking suggestions before finalising.. two or more heads are better than one i think..

Drama causing nothing, but more drama, which will only add stress for you to cope with during your wedding. Pick who YOU want and lay it out for everyone to know. Don't be pressured into adding people to your wedding, do things how YOU want. YOU ARE THE BRIDE! :)

The way I looked at it was, this is my day and I get to choose who will be my bridesmaids. It may sound cruel but I didn't care to get any suggestions from my family. I simply selected my two best friends and everything went fine. I think that everyone around you should understand and accept your decision when it comes to this, as this is a one time occasion that is just for you, and no one else.

I know it has caused issues with one of my friends but my sisters are who I wanted so that is who I chose. They will just have to live with my decisions. I always dreamed of my sisters being in the wedding, and they are going to be.

It's really quite intimidating in choosing people to be part of your entourage.  Many aspects that needs to consider in which you don’t like somebody will be got upset if she’s not become a part of it.  I think the best way is to ask suggestions and ideas to both sides.  Also try to avoid crowded entourage.
