I originally had a bridal party of
9 bridesmaids
9 groomsmen And 4 members of the house party (2 guys and 2 women). The house party will be a part of the pictures, sit at the table with me. Everything is the same except for during the ceremony— the house party will welcome everyone into the ceremony, and sit in the first row. Our wedding space is too narrow, so asking everyone to stand would make things too crowded. Hence, why we thought of a house party.
FAST FWD: One of the groomsmen will no longer be a part of the wedding and one of the house party members will not either. So, I asked one of my friends who is a part of the bridal party— if she would be willing to be a part of the house party because of what I just explained. She did not take it well and stated she would rather not be in the wedding at all because she will be angry inside during the wedding. I need help! I’m so stressed. I was just trying to make things even.

It truly seems like you meant no harm with this response. I'm glad you are able to accept your genuine mistake and set any pride aside to apologize to your friend. I wish you the best and hope she accepts your apology and stays in your wedding!

I was coming here to say the same thing! Sounds made up.
To OP, you basically demoted your friend from a bridesmaid to a made up position that has no significance to your wedding. I would be offended too. Bridal parties don't need to be even. If she still wants to be in your wedding, allow her to be a bridesmaid and move on.
