I have a bit of an issue. My sister is my MOH. My best friend is a bridesmaid. My sister and best friend are not getting long. Best friends wants to be the HBIC. However my sister is not a yes man. Because Bestfriend is not in charge of the bachelorette party she is throwing a hissy fit and does not want to participate in the wedding festivities. Mind you, she’s upset because my sister wants to be in charge of the cake. Yes THE CAKE! How would you handle your bridesmaid/bestfriend not participating in your bachelorette and bridal shower?

thanks in advance for your honest opinions ladies.

    I wouldn't get in the middle.

    As far as having BMs not participate in a bachelorette party or shower, it's no big deal. Their attendance isn't required at those events. Sure, it's nice if everyone can be there, but sometimes that just can't happen. Every single one of my BMs lived in a different state. I had zero expectations that anyone would come to any pre-wedding event that happened. My MOH planned a bachelorette party that everyone could attend. For showers, however, one BM threw a shower local to where DH and I lived and my mom threw a shower in my home state with my family, a couple close family friends, and my MOH as guests. The other half of my BP was not involved in my showers as a planner or as a guest, and I was more than okay with that.

    I’m currently dealing with one bridesmaid that doesn’t want to participate in the bridal shower “doesn’t like that stuff”, bachelorette party, bridal luncheon? Or even getting ready together. I don’t know what to do. It hurts that she doesn’t want to celebrate with me, but I’ve just let it go.
