mikijo's Pink wedding

I say 8 months is good. Some dresses need to be ordered 5 months in advance so no later then 6 months!

i agree with ms fabulous, at least 7 months so that they can save money or take off, or plan other things in their life if they need too.

well i asked my sister in law when we first got engaged. my MOH was probably a year before the wedding date....i had another girl when i asked my MOH but like your friend same, friendships change, well i ended up relpaceing her with a friend i have now in the wedding which i asked 6 months before the wedding...i thought that was late, saying the next week i needed her to order her dress lol

I let my girls know about a 10 months in advance but that's because I wanted to give them enough time to save up for their dress and other things they'll need to purchase.

I clearly let them know what is expected of them right from the start and they all said yes, so I'm happy.

if you have family in the wedding party ask ASAP if you have friends wait till about (10) months

I asked my girls 7 months before then again he only preposed two weeks before, Its true friendships can change you will need them to help so when the planning starts they can be ready let them know what is expected of them!

I say about seven months..

I asked my maid of honor the same night i got engaged ...we live together so when i came home she was here so i asked her and my bridesmaid i just asked about a month ago

I asked my MOH, which has been my best friend from middle school and all my bridesmaids right away. But two are family and 2 are really good friends, so I guess it depends on how close you feel to the people you pick.  Maybe you can ask family right away and maybe one close friend? The rest can wait till you feel that it is good...

I am getting married May 16, 2009 and I have already asked my girls starting May 1, 2008. At first I felt that it was too early but I am having a rather large wedding and I needed everyone to be on one accord.

my proposal was last october and I asked at thanksgiving then 2 had to bow out so I am filling in the spots now and only 59days till big day

Engaged July 07, asked all by October, Married April 26, 2008!

Haha! Just read the last part. You're cute. Just tell them your date, don't give any hints as to bridesmaids, and I'm sure they will reserve the day for you!

My wedding isn't for another 13 months, and I've already asked mine. Maybe too soon? 6 of the 9 are family so hopefully not going anywhere! And I've known them all for a long time.
