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?

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..
i was just thinking the same thing...if they are around the same size they can prob swap dresses!

Yeah, I don't think it will be that noticable. I would def. swap the dresses for the MOH and BM but they are two different sizes. And the truth is that I'm just really glad I have all my close friends in my wedding now and everythign worked out. I don't even care if her dress is a little off. I'm hoping everyone is having such a good time that no one notices those minor things. Plus most of our families will be drunk and dancing. They could care less about this stuff lol

and if the MOH is alittle bigger then she can get it resized. ^^ if its the other way around is there a way you can tell them to resize it..?
