Cracking the Code to Wedding Abbreviations

2 Written by natasha on November 10, 2008 – 12:00 am

With a whole slew of abbreviations these days, it’s easy to get confused when someone says “brb rotfl!”  Wedding abbreviations are even worse, especially if you have never planned or been in a wedding before. While The Wedding Bee gives a comprehensive list of abbreviations that includes things like “btw,” here is a list of those abbreviations that are only relevant to weddings (or most common in planning them)!

bm = bridesmaid or best man

bp = bridal party

dh = darling husband

e-ring = engagement ring

e-party = engagement party

fg = flower girl

gm = groomsmen

JP = justice of the peace

mil = mother in law

moh = maid/matron of honor

nh = new husband

rb = ring bearer

stds = save-the-date cards (context counts!)

wp = wedding party
