"Despite all the planning and the endless tasks on your wedding-day checklist, what matters the most at the end of the day is who’s waiting for you at the altar, which includes the friends and family standing at your side. Rather than being guided solely by tradition, more and more couples are determining their wedding parties based on their close friendships, resulting in more mixed-gender groups. Instead of the conventional bridesmaids and groomsmen, the addition of “groomsmaids” — female friends of the groom — or “bridesmen” — male friends standing up with the bride — is evolving into a modern wedding tradition of its own. While it can be an adjustment to navigate the many gender-specific traditions, there are some ways to update customs or create new ones to ensure everyone in your wedding party feels welcomed in the festivities."
