bridal party drama

Hi Girls,

I asked my bridal party and I am so honored to have the ladies accept and be part of my special day. However I have been getting a ton of comments/people confronting me on not being in the bridal party. I have alot of close friends from home and college. I asked 8 girls that I am super close with. But i feel horrible that people are upset but I know i cannot ask everyone. It is such a terrible feeling because I want to be so happy about my bridal party, but it has been causing me the most stress out of everything wedding related. Has anyone else has these issues? TIA!

Aww
I understand both sides of this issue... we made out BP mostly family to try to avoid any kind of drama, and when selecting friends we only added friends who make sense 'by themselves' (like I have some girlfriends I only see in groups, I felt like I either had to include all or none). It's such a tricky situation!

I can't believe anyone would actually confront you on it though! That's pretty gutsy. Maybe let these girls know how important they are to you, and that they will still be included in all the fun of the wedding (bach party, bridal shower) without having to do all of the work of the BP... IDK just trying to think of a positive spin on it lol.

Anyway, I am sorry it is causing stress! Weddings sometimes bring out the worst in people.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this! I came across another post that might help you though. It talks about asking those who you can't have in your BP for whatever reason to be your 'something blue'. HTH!

I was totally going to post this!! Try doing this to show them that you still want to honor them and involve them even if you can't have them as your bridesmaids! HTH!!
