When my FH and I first decided on our bridal parties, we decided to only add our siblings, plus a MOH and BM. We decided this because we have a large group of friends that mean a lot to us but we didn't want to upset anyone by not having them be a part of the bridal party.
However, my FH has since decided that he can't not have his guys there & have added his 10 closest friends as his groomsmen (it's a lot but they're brothers more than friends). I have two close friends who have essentially been acting as if they are in the bridal party without actually being in it. They told me last night that they want to be my unofficial bridal attendants but I told them that I don't want to be giving ANYONE bitch work during my wedding. They told me they were going to do it anyway. My FH said that I should ask them to be bridesmaids but I'm worried that it will seem like I'm B-listing them & I'm worried about them paying for dresses & stuff. I love them and want them to be there. Advice?
