I was wondering is it ever too early to ask people to be your bridesmaids....

I was wondering is it ever too early to ask people to be your bridesmaids. We haven't set a date yet but we know the month and year we want to get married.

Nope - ask whenever you want and you are sure you want them as you bridesmaids :)

I asked mine pretty soon after my engagement. I knew exactly who it would be so thought why wait. It makes it all seem so real.

Never too early. I asked my bridesmaid at the same time I told her I got engaged. It's been really nice to have a friend to share the excitement with.

I asked mine about an hour after we got engaged. I told them we were engaged by asking them to be my bridesmaids so I think if you know who you want it's never too early xxx

I asked my maid of honour as soon as I got engaged (i phoned her literally 2 minutes after he asked me)

I think it depends how well/ long you have known the girls I waited until we booked a venue however we booked a venue only a couple of months after getting engaged as we wanted to get married straight away the following year. :) lots of fun creative ways to ask them too :)

My advice would be be 100% certain on who you want and dont rush into any quick decisions. I made that mistake and ended up being ungappy with my decision but kind of feeling i had opened my big mouth so now i had to deal with it xx

It's never too early. The day I got engaged I asked my sister to be my bridesmaid and the next day I asked the other two people that I wanted.
