Per Brides, selecting your wedding party can be stressful, regardless of who you're choosing. However, wedding parties made up of mixed genders have risen in popularity. Many women have more male close friends than female ones, and the same could go for the groom. Including people by how close you are to them rather than by their gender is a great way to honor your friends and family, and will also allow you to get creative and think outside of the box.
You could also come up with cute and funny titles for your mixed-gender wedding party. As suggested by the bridal blog Inside Weddings, "groomsmaids," "bridesmen," and "groomswomen" are popular, but if you're trying to get away from specifically gendered titles altogether, "wedding party attendant" is a good substitute. For something less formal and more modern, exchange "bridal suite" for "getting ready suite," and "bridal party" for the more general "wedding party" (via Bridal Musings).
Though they are getting to be more well-known, mixed-gender parties will still be a novel experience for some guests and family members. Embrace the uncertainty to create new trends and unforgettable memories on your special day.
