What do gals think about having girls in your bridal party that are childhood friends but are no longer as close as you used to be. I have two good childhood friends that moved away many years ago. To this day we still keep in touch by phone occasionally (every couple of months) but we haven't seen each other in 2-3 years. I feel awful that we have drifted apart. I dont even know their favorite things anymore. I would love them to be one of my BM's cause i love them dearly, but I am concerned that we no longer have anything in common and that things will be awkward. What do you think?

I would say no. Definatly invite them to the wedding though! I ran into this where I was the friend and my childhood friend was getting married. We hadn't seen each other in years and when we did finally it was oil and water. It is sad sometimes how people drift, I suggest keeping it to those you are close w/now, they know you for who you are today!

I see what you mean but i feel odd making friends who I have only known for 3-5 years BMs when I have known my other friends since the days when we all had permed hair in the 80's. I guess it's just difficult to accept that people move and change sometimes. What does everyone else think?

ADVISE......JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE RELATED DOES NOT MEAN THEY NEED TO BE OR DESERVE TO BE IN YOUR BRIDAL PARTY!

Ohhh I so agree. That is exactly why I have no family in my wedding party. Only my sister, and my children. And I have said this from day one

I am having a small BP because of this. I would rather everyone just come to the wedding and have a good time. I don't want everyone to have to worry about the dress and the money. Too much stress.

Exactly, and beleive me you the women in my family will some how turn my whole wedding into how much they spent,and they think this should be this way. So to solve all of that I'm not using them

Great Advice! I am waiting until a year before the wedding to officially ask anyone.
