There is so much that goes into wedding planning. Where will the venue be? What type of flowers do you want?

Food picking, cake picking, making invites – planning for your wedding can be exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming.

The goal is to keep things as simple as possible. And one thing we can’t forget about when planning our wedding is our bridesmaids! And while planning for our bridesmaids may seem simple, there’s actually a lot that goes into it.

What are their dress sizes? What are their shoe sizes? What about pajamas? The list goes on and on.

Luckily, we’ve done some of the work for you. We’ve created your own personal bridesmaid questionnaire so that you can have all of the information you need at your fingertips! 

How does the Bridesmaid Questionnaire work?

It’s pretty simple. This bridesmaid questionnaire is jam packed with questions that you will need to know about your bridesmaids while planning your wedding.

All you need to do is download the copy, change the color scheme to your liking, and maybe amend some of the questions to suit your personal needs.

From there, print it off and send a copy to each of your bridesmaids. Have them return it to you as soon as possible and keep it for when you need the information. This way, you’ll have all of the details you need at your fingertips and won’t be left scourging at the very last minute. 

So without further ado, here are some questions you might need to know about your bridesmaids for the big day:
