The wedding party is such an important part of any wedding. The people that are selected are those the bride and groom feel closest to and those people should mean the most to them. If you're having a normal wedding in your hometown, it's easy to choose who you want because 99% of the time, all the people you ask can make it. It's much harder to choose when planning a destination wedding because the venue may have a low number of seats available, or it could be too expensive for a lot of people to come.
Chris and I found that our biggest problem was the number of people Disney allowed us to bring along with the package we purchased. The limit was 20 (including the bride and groom) so we had to make sure we had plenty of room for our family before we started picking people for the wedding party.
The big thing other brides should consider when choosing their girls is whether or not they'll take the supportive or controlling role. If you've had a friend that was married and turned out to be bridezilla you may want to think twice about asking her to be in yours. Chances are, girls that are extremely controlling will also want to control a lot of the aspects of your own wedding. Always choose people that are going to build you up on your wedding day, not tear you down.
Another thing you'll want to remember is that you do not have to choose someone just because you were in their wedding. Never ever choose someone out of obligation. Even if you made a pact with a girlfriend at a young age that you would be in each others wedding, it doesn't mean that if you grew apart over the years that you still have to ask them! Always choose people that mean the most to you and your groom! Those are the people that you will cherish for years to come.
