Hiring Bridesmaids?!

Amanda, on July 19, 2017 at 10:20 AM Posted in Planning 0 25

I found this on one of my FB wedding groups. I understand wanting a bridal party however I can't believe someone would offer to hire strangers to be in their bridal party!

Either have a small party with family or friends or no bridal party at all!

She says in the comments that she does have family or friends that could be BMs but she doesn't want them to because of drama and her fiancé is happy about it. She thinks that if strangers are getting paid that they would be less likely to complain and could eventually be friends with her.

    My friends would be pissed AF if I did this... your friends, those closest to you and care would do their absolute best to help you and keep you stress free. Assuming drama is justified bullshit. Sounds like she's the one that would cause the drama.

    What?! This can't be real. I refuse to believe she's serious. Like what the actual fuck.

    Is this for real? I'm with @HisBeauty, she probably won't have many friends left if she did this. I know I would be deeply hurt if I were a close friend or a family member and she chose to hire strangers vs having me. I think that this could cause more drama than she is thinking.

    I know, this is crazy! There are a ton of people responding to her that they will do it too! There are a bunch too that are trying to tell her she doesn't need bridesmaids but she won't listen!

    I guess if you pay them then they really can be your glitter covered slaves

    I can't imagine doing that. Just do no BP. I would not let a stranger be anywhere near my wedding. They could be a criminal.

    I just read an article about a woman who is basically a wedding planner but you can hire her for $500 extra to be a bridesmaid...she even wrote a book about it lol.

    There is actually a girl who has a business doing this. (Being a paid bridesmaid) her business makes a little more sense than this tactless bitch lol. I'll look for a link to the article about her. Basically she's undercover and like a DOC bridesmaid, and no one is supposed to know she is paid.

    Nooooo! She sounds like a control freak which is why she is hiring people instead of including family and friends.

    She must have never been a manager if she thinks that employees don't complain!

    Me thinks all the family drama she wants to avoid has a common source: her.
