Who should I ask to be my bridesmaids?

I had the same problem, no friends and bridesmaids to start thinking about. My best friend and I lost touch with each other and no longer were close and I had another girl friend that to me, wasn't worthy of standing with me. I ended up asking my soon-to-be sister in law (my brother's sister) to be my maid of honor because we get along very well and talk almost everyday, she was happy to accept. I then asked my other soon-to-be sister in law (my brother's fiance) to be my other bridesmaid since she would be family in just a few months. It worked out well and even though I didn't have a million bridesmaids, I didn't mind, it was less to worry about. Don't feel pressured to ask just anyone, that is your special day and those people up there are standing to support you. If there are no other friends or family members, remember, there is no exact code to follow, you don't have to have any, and you can even maybe ask a guy if a male is more close to you. Good luck and congratulations.

I was in the same situation. I had one female friend and two sisters. I asked my sister who is of age to witness to be my maid of Honor and my friend, a friend of my husbands family and my other sister were bridesmaids. There is nothing wrong with having family there to support you. Nothing says it has to be friends.

I didn't have any female friends either my best friend and I had a falling out long before the wedding and I didn't really have any other friends, so I used my soon to be hubby's best friend at the time (girl) and that was all we had I had a maid of honor and he had a best man and that was all.
You can always ask relatives, or people you work with that you are kinda friends with, there is no real rule who you have to ask

I was on the same boat, and made a point to be more friendly and get to k now girls and if I liked them okay I got to know them even better. Luckily it happened before I was purposed to so they were already there for me to ask to be my bridesmaid, but I had only known them not even 3 months before asking them.

Can you recruit at least one woman to be your maid (matron) of honor? If so, thethat's all you really need. If not, there is nothing wrong with having guys stand up for you. A close male friend of my husband and I stood up for me at my wedding since I didn't have any close female friends to ask. The most important thing is having the people you love the most to be there with you. Gender notwithstanding

Ask a family or friend that has a good marrige. Just make sure when they give the brides speech that they don't say " i Only knew the bride for only 2 months " I seen that happend.

Don't forget you can ask your groom's family or any female friends he may have. Not only will it fill out your wedding party, but it's a great way to endear yourself to the future in-laws!

You really only need one - someone to be your Maid of Honour. The rest is just extra people tack on. There's nothing wrong with having only one or two attendants. I know exactly the situation you are in!

I've seen a few weddings were guys stood on the bride's side.
