Bridesmaid Issues

Jessica, on April 25, 2025 at 8:37 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

I have a bridesmaid that is going through a hard time in her life. I asked her to be in the wedding, and she was very excited but since then hasn't responded really to anything the other bridesmaids have had communication on. I have spoken with her several times about how important it is for me to have her involved and she keeps saying she will get in touch with them and it never happens.

They have planned my entire bachelorette party including footing her portion of the planning/down payments, and she still hasn't gotten back to them. My MOH is visibly frustrated, and more upset because she feels this bridesmaid is disrespecting me by not being active in the process. I don't want to take her out of the wedding, but it's becoming a headache and honestly I feel hurt that she hasn't gotten on board. Am I being unreasonable? I'm worried if I tell her she can't be in the wedding anymore, that it will counter all the good she's done to get back on track.

Help!

    Your invitation for her as a bridesmaid should be solely based on her being at your side at the wedding. You really should comfort her and tell her that your hope for her is that she can be there on your wedding day but whatever she ends up doing will be okay. If she cannot make it, you can ask that she let you know. Or, for pre-wedding events, let the others know if she will likely make it to those. The other bridesmaids should be able to work around the options as best as they can.

    I had that same issue. She kept saying but not doing i did not want my wedding to add to her stress. I removed her from the wedding party. She understood why. And we are still best friends. She put my Bachelorette ladies out night together. And she is still attending my wedding. This is your day do what's best for you and your wedding. Good luck.

    Weddings are for the bride/couple on their special day. Not knowing your relation to your bridesmaid, but I would honestly just have the talk about taking her out of the wedding. It may seem as if it’s not a big deal to her, but it truly is. I’m sure she wishes she could do more. But at the end of the day it’s your day and you should do what is best for you. She’s showing she can’t be dependable so I wouldn’t take the risk of her not showing up for your wedding.
