Am I being the dreaded bridezilla?

I got engaged last May and my wedding is coming this September. I picked out my bridal party easily, without stressing, sent them fun little "will you be my bridesmaid" boxes and they all said yes.

I got engaged last May and my wedding is coming this September. I picked out my bridal party easily, without stressing, sent them fun little "will you be my bridesmaid" boxes and they all said yes. I wa so excited and wanted to be able to share in my excitement with them and I'm finding I can't. I have all vendors locked down, linens and China picked out, flower arrangements agreed upon, dress bought, save the dates and invited picked out/done.... All of it! And none of my bridesmaids or MOHs were a part of it. No one asked to help, no one was able to go to anything with me, and my mom is trying to get them to pick a weekend for my bachelorette party (she's throwing the shower and wants to book the venue) and they are really dragging their feet. It was even suggested that I make invites for the party... By one of my bridesmaids. I broke down and cried yesterday after my maid of honor said i was being a bridezilla. She got pregnant a month after I asked her to be my moh. She told me yesterday she can't attend the Bach party or the bridal shower bc of her newborn. I don't have kids so maybe it would be too hard, but when I asked f maybe she wanted to opt out, she said no and she really wants to be a part of the wedding. Isn't she being selfish (or am I?)? Am j really being a bridezilla? I am starting to regret having a bridal party...

    I took my girls dress shopping with me and thats sadly when i decided i didn't really want their help. I know what I want, another opinion on linens and center pieces will just give me a headache.. maybe its a blessing? its better revenge to have them show up and see what a beautiful job you did all by yourself.

    You are not a bridezilla! This is a once in a lifetime experience and your closest friends are missing it all. That's disappointing! So don't feel bad for being upset. Right now I only have a MOH (my sister) and no bridesmaids. I don't want to put people in my bridal party that aren't going to be reliable or aren't going to be excited for me. I just don't have another close girl relationship. I guess maybe it is for the best. I'm sorry your experience hasn't been good! I say discuss it with them in a way that shows you're hurt and disappointed rather than angry. (not saying you haven't already. I don't know). Good luck!
