Bridesmaid Disappointment 😞

You are not being too sensitive at all! I am going through the same issues with my bridesmaids, I get basic answers and no one really participates. I might get a small burst of cooperation and participation from them as a group but it is very short lived. I had 5 bridesmaids and am now down to 3, as I had another one drop out this Monday with a month to go. Thankfully one of my girls has really stepped up to help out.

My opinion is at this point definitely be your own hype person, so that way it won't continue to lead you into disappoint when trying to get that from them. Even if you do reach out to them to ask them about something and no one really answers or gives you any feedback, I would reinforce the fact that they are not giving the helpful feedback that is needed to make this decision so you will follow through with making these necessary decisions without them. Down let it get you down, keep going and let it all roll off your back! I bet you're doing great and will create a beautifully envisioned wedding!

Thank you! I'm sorry you're also dealing with this! It's so disheartening, because I feel a little abandoned. I honestly get more support from my work friends, and I'm kind of wishing I had asked them instead. But I'll try to take your advice and just be the friend I need for myself! We can be our own hypewomen. Yay for your wedding day being so close, though! I hope it is everything you want it to be!

It is so disheartening and sad of the emotional roller coaster it puts us through, so if our behavior has any change in it people don't understand why. In which it really makes us feel alone. Yet I feel that this is also how we are able to figure out who is truly our friend and there for us when we need them. Keep your happiness and excitement for your wedding in mind and that's all that matters! It's all about you two, keep hyping yourself up because your special wedding day will be here before you know it!

The time has flown by and it's crazy to know that we are less than a month out! Thank you, as I hope the same for you and your day!

Hi there! It says you're getting married next February, right? There's really nothing for them to do right now. Are you expecting for them to check in with you more now because of the wedding? I can't see why that would be necessary. I think maybe your expectations are too high. You can't expect people to change their habits just because you're getting married. No-one is ever going to care about things like envelopes or other wedding details as much as you do. You asked your wedding party to honour them, right? It's not a duty or obligation for them.

Another suggestion would be to pick a colour from a dress designer and a length and have them choose the one that suits them best? Also non-wedding shops tend to be less expensive.

If you're going to pick their dresses for them make sure you get their budgets first privately.

When I was a bridesmaid for other peoples weddings, I didn't really care too much and didn't think to ask about the wedding planning or offer to help. Now that I'm a bride, I feel like I am expecting people to care as much as me and I have to think about how I've felt on the other side. I've felt like no one cares as well but in reality, it's just not at the top of their every thought like it is for us brides!! lol. Don't fret! They care and will be excited for you when the day comes.
