bridesmaids dropping left & right

Do you have anyone in your family that may want to be a bridesmaid? Or even a coworker? If not theres nothing wrong w/ just having the 2 girls, it keeps it less stressful for you, simple, and more attention on you.

I'm actually an only girl and I don't really have any female cousins, he's using his 2 brothers and my 2 brothers I guess I could ask other people but I'm at a standstill because everyone's excuse is that the dresses are too expensive 187 compared to all the things I have to pay and the emotional turmoil they are putting me through I honestly thought I would have bridesmaids close and dear to me. Also I'm worried about to I present asking replacement bridesmaids you weren't my first choice but my other bridesmaids can't afford the dress and are inconsiderate?! Plus the dresses that were picked out has to be paid for by the 20th of this month.

I know this is not what you want to hear - but in the end, the only person that matters that should be standing there is the Groom. You may want to cut the party down to a very simple ceremony with who you have. Time is not on your side here.

I wish you luck - let me know if I can help further.

There is no rule saying that you have to have bridesmaids. If the ones you ask are going through a rough time, then well you have to accept it, and move on. Like the pp said, in the end what matters most is you and the groom at the altar. Good luck to you.

Wow im sorry to hear that, all i can say is that you should say with the maid of honor and the matron of honor if they seem to be your most reliable. i personally im only having a maid of honor just to avoid what your going thru and its the easiest thing in the world

Awe, Im so sorry. Maybe yoiu should consider keeping the bridal party small, so as to avoid future dropouts. In any event, Good luck to you.

Hey there, if i were you I would not ask anyone else, unless they are close to you. You don't want to have random people standing up next to you on your wedding day....people that you may not really be close to or even friends with. I know I want to look back at my wedding pictures and cherish the memories I have with those friends...

I am sorry you have had so many issues with your BMs, sounds like the 2 you do have are special and will make sacrifices to be in your wedding.

I'm sorry to hear that you have so many problems with your bridesmaids. I don't know if this is an option for you but I had friends who I wanted to be in my wedding party but I knew they wouldn't be able to afford it and so I paid for their dresses. If it's that important to have a certain amount of bridesmaids or there's a specific person you couldn't bear being without on your special day it might be something to think about.

Hi think how lucky you are that this all happened now instead of later. Whether you have one or two it's fine just stick with who you have.

I am sorry to hear about your dilema...but think of how much stress you don't have to endure as a result of having them drop out later on down the line. I would simply have the one matron of honor since she's committed. I hope everything works out for you, but in the end you'll only be focused on your future husband standing beside you.

Definately just stick with the one that has committed. Would you really want all this drama around you on your big day? If the maids with problems decide they can be a part of your wedding, give them something else to do that is less important. The people in your wedding party should be those that are closest to you that you can't imagine spending the day without. Don't make the mistake of just asking anyone to fill in for this special role.
