Being A Bridesmaid A Month Before Your Wedding?!?

If you would be attending either way then I really wouldn't expect being a bridesmaid to take significantly more of your time- show up with the dress day of - all the rest is extra and if you need to you can decline. Personally I would do it!

It depends on your schedule, but really it's only one weekend out of your life. Sure, you could get involved in things like showers and bach parties, but they're not required. I would agree!

I am a bridesmaid for my friend this Saturday and my wedding is July 28. It wasn't that big of a deal having them so close. We just coordinated weekends for showers and bachelorette parties so they wouldn't land on the same weekend.

I'm a bridesmaid in a destination wedding exactly 14 days before mine. She's been engaged longer than I have and is one of my closest friends, but we set our dates within a week of each other. I'm not too worried about it. In fact, I think it will get me very excited for my own wedding!

I don't see a problem in doing it. It's not like you are going to be helping her plan her wedding also.

I hid my post because it showed double. I was tricked! I'm in one of my BM's wedding 13 days before mine. I had already asked her and had already had my date for a year when she picked her date and asked me. It's stressful to think about because our weddings are several states apart. Oh well. You can have your month and she can have hers. A month isn't really that big of a deal. It may take some coordination for choosing shower and other party dates but that'll be ok too.

Yes do it

I did it. You can do it.

I am the maid of honor in my cousins wedding a month before mine and she is my maid of honor... it's been so fun planning our weddings together.

If you have the time and can get a dress (finances) in order I would!

there's no Max amount of weddings you can be in in a time frame

As long as you can do both why not your celebrating her special day! Just as she will celebrate yours!

'Should I accept duty as a bridesmaid for her special day even when I'll be crazy busy planning my own wedding??!'

What duties would be so time consuming? You turn up in your dress, a bit earlier for make up and photos and enjoy the wedding.

You will have one day off from wedding planning. That's hardly a big deal.

Sure you can... if you're up to it. My MOH is getting married a month before me, and I'll be her MOH (she asked me about a year and a half ago when she started planning and I asked her in december, about a month after FH asked), we are doing the whole planning and putting together DIY's together, which is so funny since both weddings are so different, but so much fun to share it with her!, it's doable, and the fact that i'll be at her wedding definitely doesn't feel like i'll be losing a day off from my planning, but it feels like our last chance to truly relax before ours

I mean, what's stopping you? I say go for it. If she's your friend, it could be veryyy fun!

I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding which is just over a month before mine - on top of working 60 hours a week and going to school. It shouldn't be a huge time obligation. Just manage your time wisely.

You'd be attending anyway, right? It really won't be that much "work"

Should be fine. I am the MOH in my best friends wedding and she is mine, our weddings are 5 months apart.

Do it! I know some people say the last few weeks get crazy but that wasn't the case with us since we planned ahead enough to avoid last minute items. We even went to two weddings and a birthday party during the last month and had fun. In your case you would just arrive a little earlier and in a dress they chose.

I'm a bridemaid in a wedding this weekend, and my wedding is in two weeks. It's not a big deal! You'll want to be involved in your friend's bridal shower, bachelorette, etc. anyway. You may as well be part of the bridal party!

Why not? You get a dress and you take a day off from your own planning.

Life doesn't (or shouldn't) stop when you're planning a wedding.
