Bridesmaids being mean to each other - should I say something?

Christie, on April 15, 2014 at 12:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

My sister/Maid of Honor just threw my bachelorette party and it was so fun! But, I found out today, 3 days later, that another bridesmaid - a friend of mine - was saying mean things under her breathe about some of the games my sister planned.

The comments were persistent and condescending (not to mention rude and self-absorbed), and my sister heard them all. They really hurt her feelings, especially since she put a lot of time, money and effort into the game. The other bridesmaid even went on to later say something else rude about going to get me water and snacks after drinking. I thought she was just being nice but apparently she was being snide.

My sister is trying to let it go but it hurt her feelings. Should I say something?

    I've been playing mediator for my BM's too.

    I'd say something to her...just make sure you go about it in a way that she doesn't feel attacked or you'll end up causing more problems down the road. But I think because it was your sister you should have her back, especially when you had such a good time.

    Someone always finds a reason to be a debbie-downer and rain on other people's parades.

    Good luck!

    I wouldn't say anything just based on your sisters account of what happened. BUT, if you ever hear her say anything rude for yourself...definitely say something! There is no room for an attitude when everyone is trying to get a wedding together.

    No, I'm 18, thanks.

    I just don't like stupid, rude comments being made when she could have kept her mouth shut. If she didn't want to partake in the games, she could have been polite about it and decline. But instead, she obviously rolled her eyes and said condescending things. I didn't hear it them all but I heard one thing she said; my sister heard it all the rest.

    I don't think I'm going to say anything unless I hear it again, just like Sunshine said. But it really pissed me off that she would be that self-centered. I expect everyone to be a grown up and not treat each other like that.

    Guys Or ago is obviously a fake account, don't let them rile you up. Wedding in 4 days from North Pole Alaska?

    Anyways, your bridesmaids are adults, I would let them deal with it unless if happens again. Just make sure that your sister knows how much fun you had and how wonderful it all was.

    If you don't address it, it can just get worse. Still, you don't want to upset the friend either. Here's what I would do: Sit down with the friend and tell her something like "You know, I had a really great time at my bachelorette party. However, I was told after the fact that you made some comments that made my sister upset. I honestly was oblivious that this was going on, so I'd really like to hear your side of the story on this as well. You both are really important to me, and I know these things happen sometimes, but I'd really like to make sure that everyone is able to enjoy themselves whenever we all get together - wedding related or not."

    Let her tell you her side, then see where you can go from there based on what you think really happened.

    @CeCe - thanks for that tip. I sent her flowers to say thanks and let her know how much I appreciated all her thought and effort. It really was a fantastic weekend.

    Thanks for all the input, ladies! (Except @or ago, of course Smiley smile

    Can we all agree to flag 'Or ago' for being a troll? Already did.

    I've already flagged all of their comments and their actual account. More people just need to do it.

    I flagged it as well. I agree with everyone else that its best to allow the "girls" to handle it themselves. Yes, I would tell your sister you appreciate all she has done but getting in the middle could just add fuel to the fire.
