I added a bridesmaid -UPDATE

Ok, so FH and I asked our bridal party about 10 months ago. When it was all said and done, FH had 6 guys and I had 5 girls. We were both okay with that and just figured that we'd have 2 guys walk with one girl. No biggie.

But, about 8 months ago, one of my bridesmaids introduced me to one of her friends....And since then, this girl and I have become very good friends. She's actually been more involved with wedding stuff than any of my other BM's. So, FH kept asking me why I haven't asked her to be my 6th bridesmaid. I told him I wasnt sure bc I didnt know her as long as the other girls and I've always looked at my bridal party as girls I've known for a long time. But the truth was that in 8 months, we have become very good friends and has already been involved as it is. I also explained to FH that we ordered the dresses back in August and that if we add another dress, the color might be a little off. Well, I called the store yesterday and they said that I can still order the dress- because my BM dresses were not made yet.

So, I asked my friend last night and she said yes!!!!!

P.S: I know that was probably the most boring story ever but I really wanted to share!
----------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so I posted this last Thursday. Since then, I took my new bridesmaid to the dress store to add on her dress to the previously placed order. When I get there, the bridal consultant told me that she apologizes for who ever I spoke with, but if I order a dress now, the colors will probably vary a lot. I explained to her that the woman I spoke with assured me that would not happen bc the dresses were not made yet-so they can just add it on the order AND that the woman told me my specific color doesnt vary that much. But now here I am standing there in this store with my new bridesmaid. What could I have done? I can't tell her that she is no longer in the bridal party and that I'm taking back my invite. It was too late and I didnt want to hurt her feelings. But now the dress will be a different shade then everyone else's. What do I do?

Ok cool. It's funny- I never was one of those girls that cared about all those little things. This wedding is making me nuts! lol I'm sure you're right, no one is going to notice or care! Thank you for setting me straight!

Re: I added a bridesmaid -UPDATE

nobody will notice. Is she a similar size to the MOH? maybe they can swap dresses

trust me... no one will notice. i was in a wedding were they added 2 twos at the last minute and even though the store and bride said their was a color difference, none of us could see it

i dont think that there will be a noticable diffrence! Dont worry about it

Re: I added a bridesmaid -UPDATE

Maybe she had to tell you that because there's a chance that the color will be different (even if the chance of that happening isn't very likely)?
She probably just wanted to cover her a$$.

No. One is a 4 and the other is a 8. I don't see that happening. But everyone is probably right, no one will notice. I don't even care anymore lol

No worries - they are probably just letting you know that there could be a difference because of the dye lots because they have probably had crazy brides who care about this type of thing go off on them in the past. I'm sure if there is a difference it will be very little and no one at all will notice!

maybe have ur MOH wear the slightly different color dress... and have your new BM wear hers..

uninviting the BM is not an option.. in my opinion..
