How Long Does a Bridesmaid Have to Stay at the Wedding?

OP! Come back! We want the whole story!

I would've dropped out too (but then I absolutely hate being in weddings in general so I avoid!) ... I think specially because you're engaged this is very disrespectful of them to not invite your SO.

I'm not sure wha their reasons behind this lack of invitation are but I feel like maybe you should've said something? Stay through the toasts and leave, you might lose the friendship but then what kind of friends have they being to you ?

I feel like since you accepted being a BM knowing your FH wasn't invited then you should stay and continue doing Bridesmaids duties by being there for the bride. Although it's shitty she didn't invite him it's also shitty that you're upset NOW after you already accepted the role. Of course, if it was me, I would have declined knowing he wasn't invited but I'm sure there is a back story of why you did. We don't know if the bride told you after the fact or what but now it's too late to feel some kind of way.

OP come back, please don't be a postie ghostie.

Why don't they like your FH? I would have also dropped out (and probably re-evaluated the friendship) if my FH weren't invited, but you didn't and committed to being there. I'd stay for dinner and the cake cutting, then leave.

I wouldn't go at all, but that's just me. If you're going to go, just leave after the cake cutting.

I wouldn't be a BM(or attend a wedding) unless FH was invited. I have no advice for how long to stay because I personally would not be involved in this wedding.

I would have dropped out when I knew they weren't going to invite my SO....but our best man left pretty much right after dinner --a casualty of asking too early I guess.

Dinner and speeches. Get in one or two pictures during the reception, then leave. They're not going to notice. They'll be busy with everyone else.

I wouldn't even go, to be honest.

Aside from your FH not being invited (that was not okay on their end) bridesmaids are usually expected to stay until the end. I would be super sad if any of my bridesmaids didn't stay and dance with me lol

Agree that you should normally stay for the full reception, but this doesn't seem "normal." I'd be out right after dinner/toasts. Not sure I'd even make it to cake cutting.
