Bridesmaids

I don’t think it’s too late as long as she is still able to get a dress that will work with your color scheme. I’d say if you really want her to be a part of your bridal party, go for it!

I don't think its too late at all

Honestly, I wouldn't. There's a high likelihood that she may feel like second string.

View Quoted Comment I think she’d be happier knowing you want her to be a part of your big day, even if you’re asking her later than the others. I asked one of my maids later than the others too, mostly because I was so torn on whether I wanted to have more than six, but ultimately I decided it was more important to me to include her. She told me she had been wondering if she was going to be asked. 😊

If she can still get a dress, I think it's fine to ask her. Especially considering that you waited because of her financial situation - it's not like you were debating if she was a "good enough" friend to have standing with you. I think it'll be fine to ask!

If you feel like she’s going to be a lifelong friend, that you look back on bridal party pics 20 years from now and you’re glad she was in there, then by all means ask away. Just my two cents.


I opted out of a bridal party, and I’m just having my sister as maid of honor because I didn’t want to stress about who I was asking and who I can rely on, and my friends finances. So I feel you there.

I would find it rude to ask someone months after the rest of your bridal party. If I was that friend, I would feel like an afterthought.

I don't think i'd ask to be honest.

I don't think it's too late. Just be okay with it if she can't.
