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

Thanks everyone. You guys are all making me feel more relaxed about it.

My sister said the 12 week is specifically for the black Friday sale (idk where she saw that, maybe they sent an email). I'm just letting it go. If they don't have the dress, there's nothing I can do.

"Do as you like, but if it's not delivered in time, you'll be sitting with mom and dad!" Then add a smiley face/side eye/fingers crossed emoji - whatever floats your boat. Then rinse and repeat with the other ladies as necessary.

Take this with a grain of salt; I'm running short of patience this morning, and I just got really frustrated on your behalf! :-)

Honestly, I would look at the Azazie timeline, set up a showroom, and get with your BMs to pick a day (I gave mine 2 choices and went with the day tue majority picked) to order. The showroom gives you an id number that is active for 24 hours and ensures everyone is getting the same dye lot. Keep in mind that unless they do custom sizing, they'll probably need a hem. So give your girls that info, and if they don't order the dress on that day, they can come as a guest.

They have one job to do, which is get their dress, so if they don't, that's on them. (If money is an issue, can you afford to pay the difference? If you can, you could maybe consider offering that, but it's up to you.)

To your sister I would just say, "no, we are ordering on [date]. If you don't want to order then, I'll be sure to save you a seat next to mom and dad."

This is reason number 27 why I had my two sons, ages 18 and 20 as my Best Men. LOL! But to help you out Stephanie, no dress = being a guest. Tell her that NOW so she is not surprised.

We just got our dresses in from Azazie. Took about 4-5 weeks. I imagine the 12 week timeline is definitely for Black Friday if they're having a sale, but I would think that's on the high end. Like other PP's have said, if it's not here in time she comes as a guest.

Save yourself the stress, if they don't get it in time they don't they can be a guest. If you feel nice you could look at other options and select one that is ready to wear as a back up. It's frustrating, but they're adults. My bridesmaids for the most part waited till the last minute, and FH's best man still has not ordered his suit rental [we are 2.5 weeks out]. If they don't make it work it is up to them to fix it. No fix = no bridal party.

People are inconsiderate ! Experienced dilemmas and added stress due to having bridesmaids.

Oh boy! My date is the day before yours and my girls order their dress on the 17th of last month. They should arrive by January. That’s really pushing I?t!!!

@Christy it's definetly not ideal, but it may come to that idk. I really wouldn't mind black but the groomsmen are

going to wear navy blue and I think it'll look strange.

Just get them to get normal dresses - any other occasion you'd expect to purchase and receive a dress in a week and love it right?
