Okay, I need some help. My wedding is in 20 days and one of my bridesmaids just backed out due to pregnancy issues and traveling concerns (I completely understand and support her decision, baby and her health comes first). She is super upset about it. I want to do something as a thank you for just attempting to be in the wedding, but the gifts I got the bridesmaids all have to do with the wedding (pajamas, hanger, koozie, mascara). My question is, do I still send her this stuff or should I get her a different gift, and if I do a different gift, any ideas on what I could do? TYIA!!!

You could send her flowers. Or send her a gift that relates to things she likes and is interested in.

I second flowers and a letter, hand written, telling her you understand, there are no hard feelings and you respect her choice to take care of herself and her pregnancy. That will mean a lot to her!

Hi Jenna, very sweet of you to think of her. I think sending your current gifts is great - she can still use everything you listed 👍 Perhaps when her baby is born, you can call a restaurant local to her and send food delivery ❤️

You’re an amazing person! I’d still send her the stuff you originally got her since it’ll go to waste if you don’t. Add a handwritten note letting her know how you feel & how much she means to you.

This is so sweet of you to think to do! If it were me, I would definitely give her the gifts you got her for the wedding. I agree with others that adding flowers or a hand written note would be perfect and make her feel loved!

My MOH is in the same situation! She’s high risk pregnant n we both agree it’s for the best if she doesn’t go to the wedding. We are doing virtual for her!
Would virtual be something you’d do with her, that way you can still give her those gifts?

I would definitely still send her those items and add in a note about how much her friendship means to you. It's got to be tough for her to have to miss out on a good friend's wedding. I would also recommend facetiming her a little bit on the day of the wedding, maybe after you put your dress on so she can still see you?

I would send a non wedding related gift she will appreciate. Flowers or something related to her personal interests.
