Bridesmaid Dilemma

K, on June 4, 2019 at 1:57 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4
I have three family members I am considering on asking to be my bridesmaids. I don’t have any girl friends I can ask. The issue is that two of the three girls don’t necessarily get along so I’ve been putting off asking since I don’t want to put them in a weird position.

I want to ask them in a cute formal way but want to make sure they know who is in the BP so they don’t feel like they have to say yes. Should I text them first? What should I even say?

    My cousin is my bridesmaid and doesn’t get along with 2 of my friends that are also bridesmaids. I asked and they all said yes. Later on when I told everyone who was in it no one said anything. I think we are all adults and all that drama is aside from the wedding. We all even went bridesmaid dress shopping together and everyone got along well. At the end of the day they shouldn’t cause problems for you if they care. If they really have a problem after they say yes they could just speak up.

    They should be able to work together for your wedding regardless of who is in it. But I do see how you'd want to avoid trouble if you think they can't work well together. Also in any type of social setting there may be tension anyway. For instance my bridal party members are relatively unknown to one another and mostly get along but there are tense moments since everyone has a different style in how they work and what they'd want.

    Id ask first in your cute way. Maybe include a little note of who will be in the bridal party potentially and where you met/ or special details about your relationship. Then its like a cute read for all of them and makes them feel special WHILE still informing them who will be included.

    They should be adults and get over themselves, Two of my bridesmaids used to be friends and had a small falling out a few years ago. The friendship isn't quite the same but it's still there. No one had a problem and they can't wait to jump into wedding plans with me.
