We get married May 2019. Both of us know who we would like as bridesmaids and groomsman for the wedding. Do we ask them now or closer to the wedding? Not sure what is best. Please help with suggestions

I asked mine soon as we booked the registry office and I gave the bridesmaids a bottle of prosecco and a lovely personalized peom at Xmas as an official gift but we have had less than a year from booking to getting married this April

We are getting married May β€˜19 and I asked as soon as I saw them after getting engaged, it’s been so nice to go to them with venue potentials and discuss other ideas as second opinions.

We get married June 19 and as soon as we had picked and booked a venue I asked mine. I have been friends with them all for years and I know there is no one else I would want by my side xx

I asked my bridesmaids and flower possy (made up of my cousins little girls) the moment I was allowed to ask. But my otherhalfs is still torn between people. He has plenty of time to decide .
