Bridesmaids ....

Kyrie, on June 30, 2019 at 3:38 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

So I currently have asked 3 of my 4/5 that I want in my bridal party.

I asked my Maid of Honor & 2 bridesmaids about 2-3 months ago. The bridesmaids said yes immediately, ones a mutual friend of ours and the other is my cousin. My Maid of Honor, who i love dearly, is one of my sorority sisters and best friends, said she wasn't sure, she had gone through a very heard break up a few weeks earlier and had agreed to an out of state wedding the end of this year. I completely understand her not giving me a yes or no yet but how long should I wait before I ask her again or what her decision is?

I still have 1-2 others I would like to ask as well, a friend of his who is like a sister to him that is dating one of his best friends and he had lived with for like 10 years, and then possibly another one of my sorority sisters as my Matron of Honor.

When should i 100% have asked and had their answers by? I just want to make sure they will each have enough time to get their dresses and such and any planning of things that we'll all need to do together. (Aug 2020 wedding).

    You could wait until March or April of 2020 and still be fine. Most bridesmaids dresses take no more than 2-3 months to arrive.

    I honestly wouldn't worry about this until early next year. Let your friend process through her breakup and give you an answer when she's ready.

    You can wait until around January 2020, honestly. Many friendships change as you plan a wedding (usually everyone's lives start to change, really.) ( I lost my at the time "best friend" of 10+ years because I asked WAAAY too soon.)

    Right now, just take this time to plan your wedding with your fiance & then when the new year rolls around, you can ask them if they would be interested.

    I'd wait to ask your friend again until November/December.
