I am so confused about what to do at this point. I have a bridal party of 6. We went for fittings in early Nov...gave them a deadline to purchase by Jan 18. Beginning of Jan, I sent out friendly reminder txts to see who had purchased and for anyone to let me know if they just couldnt afford to...

I am so confused about what to do at this point. I have a bridal party of 6. We went for fittings in early Nov...gave them a deadline to purchase by Jan 18. Beginning of Jan, I sent out friendly reminder txts to see who had purchased and for anyone to let me know if they just couldnt afford to participate any longer which i would understand. Future hubby sis did not respond to the text. Fast forward to last week, i sent a text asking did she get her dress she tells me no and that she planned to order that wknd...never called or texted me to inform me that she did indeed order or not. I mentioned it to FH and he said well ill call and ask her, when i started to elaborate why it is important for bridesmaids to at least communicate with me he begin to get irritated and cut me off and just said I told u ill ask her....so I just left it alone cause i know its touchy cause its his sister. Im very frustrated now cause if this was anyone else I would have just told them to be a guest insteadbandnleave it at that. I don't like checking up on grown people. I feel like I am stuck in a hard position. Dont want to argue with FH over this but also want my deadlines respected so I can move to the next thing...ugghhh.....

    Thanks for the responses guys!! FH did talk to her yesterday and she told him she forgot to order last week and will do it this weekend so Im satisfied with this. I'm taking you guys advice and leaving it be....if she actually does order great if not I will not say anything further and she would just be a guest. Ill redirect my anxiety elsewhere such as....who will I find to do my makeup! Lol

    You have plenty of time before your wedding for her to order the dress. If she doesn't do it then she won't be standing up there the day of and that's her own fault. However, kicking her out of the bridal party will just make you look bad IMO. She is your future sister in law, do you really want to start off your wedding like that? It will probably be something that she will harbor a lot of resentment towards you for in the future. I personally wouldn't want that drama for the rest of my life over a dress.

    I'm having the same issue with my cousin! Its so frustrating! I uninvited her to everything - I don't have time nor do I want to deal with pettiness. Give him a chance to talk to her but explain the importance of deadlines.
