I swear I'm about to kick all my bridesmaids out!

Calm your tits, azazie is quick yes? If they don't have the dress by the wedding, they're guests.

I want to calm my tits, but I can't! Lol

So you have less BP and more guests. Less stress and less $$ for you.

Azazie took a full 7-8 weeks for each of my bridesmaids. If they don’t order until cyber Monday, they might not come in time. And then, so sorry, they’re just guests!

I bet it's frustrating, I can only imagine.

Are there department stores near you that sell dresses cheap? Like Carson's or Penneys/Macy's? Maybe the girls can go in a few weeks together and pick out a dress that's ready to go.

Don't overreact and kick anyone out. Just respond to sister that a possible 12 week delivery won't work, so there's no need to order the dress. Have the dresses been chosen yet? Are they choosing their own? You may have to find a dress that isn't considered a BM dress so they will be shipped in time. A few details will help us give advice.

Why exactly have they not gotten their dresses yet?....

Whatever- no dress- no bridesmaid.

That's their problem.

They need the dress. If they don't have it- they aren't in the wedding. Don't make this your problem.

it's a very simple self solving issue.

They haven't gotten their dress because, idk....they just haven't. I'm also being dramatic, I'm not kicking anyone out, I'm just really stressed. I'm trying not to be a nag and constantly ask them about the dress. I think if I told them to each get whatever black dress from the store, they would still wait till last minute. It's just frustrating because I haven't asked for anything except for them to get a dress. I even told them to not bother with a bridal shower. I just need to go take a shot or something.

Just make sure you have an adequate severance package made up for them before their exit interview.

Or you can pick out a few options from a source you know will send the dresses in time and give them an ultimatum. They can either order one of the dresses you picked out or they can arrive at the venue just in time for the ceremony.

Have you tried setting up a date with all your bridesmaids to go look at dresses? Be consistent, but don't nag. If they don't get a dress in time, then they can attend as a guest. David's Bridal has a pretty quick turn around. A few of my bridesmaids got their dresses on Black Friday last year from David's Bridal. They were originally $175-200 (I didn't dictate they wear a certain dress, just all the same color and long) and they got them for around $125 shipped. You may also want to look into Lulu's. They have nice dresses for good prices.

I don't think you really meant you would kick anyone out. You're close to the wedding and you're stressed, understandable. Everything was smooth sailing for me except the past week .. been a nightmare .. BUTTTT nothing a little glass of wine and a 3 minute cry sesh and then putting on my big girl panties can't fix. If they can't get their dresses on time, like other PPs have said, they are guests.

Ahh just noticed we have the same date. My BM dress deadline was september. I had one BM pushing the deadline but she was also 9 months pregnant and wanted to wait til she had the baby, which was a-ok with me.

I'm confused why your not just texting your sister back that your concerned about the timeline.

Stephanie- yes- they would.

My best friend is VERY busy- and married to her work.

She didn't even HAVE a dress to go buy- I told her to wear something from her closet- but I KNEW she would wait to the last minute and stress herself the fuck out- so I brought it up occasionally- and we had a text session where she pulled shit from her closet (this included drinking- so I would up with pictures like the kilt and combat boots outfit)- anyway- she pulled this really nice number out and I was like that's fine- perfect- whatever.

(she wasn't even standing up with me- she just needed clothes).

And she still went shopping 3 weeks before she drove up.

She was beautiful and everything was fine. Don't make a mountain of a mole hill- you have other shit to spend your energy on. This will make you crazy- so don't let it.

I texted her back to remind her that 12 weeks is after my wedding. She said that she thinks she will get it before that and sent me a fingers crossed emoji. I dont even know what to say lol.

Budget wasn't a problem, I asked. I specifically picked azazie because the prices seemed better than a lot of places I saw. They also said they had no problems ordering online.

You don't say anything. that's her decision.

No dress- they are guests.

Don't make this harder than it needs to be. It's just a party and pictures.

The part where you get married- that's the important part. The rest is just drinks and fun.

Considering this is your sister I would think you could tell her how upset you are that she doesn't seem to care enough to make sure the dress comes in on time. See what she says.

@robyn: I think that ordering on cyber monday extends their turnaround time. I would say OP needs to tell her sister that is cutting it too close and ask if she can afford the dress without the discount.

Cant they ask for a rush fee? It might negate what they save on cyber monday but hey - that's on them for waiting until the last minute isn't it?
