I'm putting together my program and I'm at the point where I'm listing the wedding party. What order do I list my bridesmaids? Do I list them as they will stand with me (MOH, BM1, BM2, BM3) or as they will walk in (BM3, BM2, BM1, MOH)?
I think I've thought about it for so long that I've confused myself! Thanks in advance for the help!
Just wondering, if I list them alphabetically, my MOH would come in the middle so it would look like
BM
BM
MOH
BM
I've always seen the MOH listed first? Or are you saiying, the BM's listed as such with out the MOH, sorry to be so goofy - just checking before I do mine. ;-)
Although, I can also vouch for the nicety of having them listed in the order they walk in, so you can figure out who's who as they walk in. In the order they're standing at the alter works, too. I wouldn't suggest alphabetically, because from a guest's standpoint (this happened to me once at a wedding where I didn't know too many of the wedding party) I had the worst time trying to figure out who was who when the program listed them alphabetically. This became a problem when I wanted to, say, strike up a conversation with and congratulate the sister, but I had no idea which one she was :)
I'm having a brain fart and need your help, hive!

posted by goteamgo 63 posts 7 months agoI really don't think you need to list the bridesmaids as they will walk in. Just be sure to put the moh first, and then you can just list the rest!
