I would like to kno how was your bridal party experience for example did they help you prepare for the big day? Did they check up on you from time to time? I know bridesmaids dont have to really do anything but it seems to me if your in a wedding, at least offer to help with anything instead of just showing up. I got them two gifts and I feel that's enough. If they offer me help then I wouldn't mind with the gift giving. None of them showed up for my fitting, none of them showed up for my birthday which really hurt my feelings. I ask one of my bridesmaids to make some paper flowers because she does them soo well and she told me to get the paper, like I dont have a million and one things going on. Lil tasks like tht and they still cant come thru. Ughhhh am I wrong for thinking and feeling this way? I dont ask for much and I even Expressed I cant do this by myself and yet I feel like I'm by myself smh. What are bridesmaids really good for?

If you are feeling overwhelmed, your FH needs to step up. I had 5 bridesmaids and a bridesman on my side. I didn't expect my bridesmaids to do anything except get their apparel & accessories on time for the wedding and to be at the rehearsal/dinner and the whole wedding day. 1 bridesmaid threw me a shower, and 1 bridesmaid took the lead on the bachelorette party. My expectation of my moh was a little higher, but she had a lot going on in her life. I just kept up with my normal friendships with them except for when it came to telling them important information about the day of the wedding, Please keep in mind that just because YOU are getting married this year and it is the most important thing going on in your life right now, doesn't mean that they should drop the things going on in their lives to be there. They have other things going on in their lives. Take a deep breath and take a break from wedding planning before the stress of planning truly gets to you. It got to me several times and I had stress & panic attacks. Take a step away from wedding planning and relax. Also look at it from their perspective. I've seen feelings like this and fights because of it destroy friendships. Just drink some wine, sit back and relax.
