I'm a bridesmaid and was woundering do I need/should bring a date. I'm not dating anyone right now and the wedding is in October.

It's up to your brother and his fiance if they are allowing you to bring a guest.
If they invite you with a guest, you are not obligated to bring one. If you don't have anyone you want to bring, then go by yourself. There's no rule that says you have to have a date at a wedding. Heck, you might meet a single man at the wedding without a date :-)

That would depend on when you receive the invitation (is it addressed to you and a guest?) and whether or not you have anyone in your life you'd like to bring as a date. There is nothing wrong with bringing a friend who isn't a romantic interest if it's someone you would enjoy the day with. Also, as a bridesmaid, you may be busy and may not have time to be entertaining your date as well, so don't feel you have to run out and drag some guy to the wedding. Be there for your brother and enjoy his special day!

I would not go out of your way to find a date before asking your brother if there is room on the guest list. Also, so you think you would want a date to be there? I would be uncomfortable being a bridesmaid and all if my date was someone I hardly knew. If you were just a guest I think it would be different, but you are in the bridal party and have responsibilities at the wedding. Would you want your date to feel ignored? Just sitting there not knowing anyone while you are busy before and during the ceremony.

No, and I'll tell you why.
If you are a bridesmaid you will probably have as an escort one of the grooms men. See if your brother can hook you up with someone you like. As to bringing a date to the wedding, I would not. As a member of the wedding party,your time will be taken up by the ceremony, photographs and possibly the head table. Your date would be bored to tears unless they know the bride or groom, in which case they are probably already invited.

yes i agree. that should be up to your brother. even if yo uare in the wedding party you should be getting an invitation from him that says and guest. if he doesn't put it then he doesn't want u to bring someone.
also if he does allow you to bring someone you have think about the fact that do you really want to bring a date that you have just started seeing or just met. they might feel weird around your family especially since you will be busy with pictures and other things throughout the nigth. you might not get time to be with ur date, nevermind even sit with them at dinner. if you were dating someone and they knew your family and whatnot then i think it would be no problem at all. so depending on what your relationship status is as of september then i would decide. good luck.

If you're not dating anyone by the time of the wedding, bring a close friend! My husband hates attending weddings, so I always bring a mutual friend of the bride and groom along if my husband doesn't want to go.

You can, but it's not recommended unless you've been together for a while. It might be really awkward for a new person, since you'll be busy all day and probably sit at a special table and have pictures and stuff. He'd be by himself most of the time. So don't worry about it. Just enjoy your family.

Probably not first of all it costs them money and time.
And it might freak a guy out if you ask him to go to a wedding not far off especially if you just met.
And it would be weird for him because believe me you'll be busy the whole night and he wouldn't really know anyone.

Ask the Best Man (if he is not married or have a girlfriend) if he is bringing a date. if not ask him he would like to be your escort.Maybe he is having the same dilemma. Who knows maybe thew two of you will hit it off.

You do not need a date.
