Wedding Party Trends for 2021 and Beyond
06/01/21 • 32 min
Who you choose to be in your Wedding Party – and who you DON’T choose - is a very big decision for your wedding. In this episode, we share some trends on how couples are tweaking this age-old tradition to better reflect the people that matter most to them. This includes using more inclusive terminology, focusing less on someone’s gender or having “even” sides, and potentially forgoing having a wedding party altogether.
We talked about:
- Modern and inclusive terminology
- Traditions of the past
- Is it ok to have uneven sides?
- Mixed-gender wedding parties
- VIPs that are supportive of both partners
- Opting not to have a wedding party
- Some tips to keep in mind when deciding who you do (and don’t) want to include
Links mentioned:
- Episode 6: Reinterpreting Weddings with Kathryn Hamm
- Episode 83: Involving Kids In Your Wedding Plans
