Maid of honor dropped out

And I used them all on this thread.

Definitely the clothing must match the genitalia, in order to secure a position in SAK's wedding party.

Nah, im not having a wedding party. My day is about FH and me. The dinner we are hosting is about our parents, who are the only people we invited.

Just respond that it's OK. My maid of honour also dropped out because of drama going on in her life. All you can do is be supportive. You don't want to mess up a friendship over her bowing out. The only negative is that it'll become awkward discussing anything wedding related with her

Well my wedding party must not be traditional. One of our groomsman is a girl and she is wearing a tux. I can't wait to see her all dressed up.

How much are your projecting for your BMs? I'm hoping my girls investment will be $150 or less

That's a real bummer! she's missing out on an awesome time! those that prioritize you will be who you ultimately want to have around you at the end of the day. stay positive. I asked early for the same reason expecting at least one person dropping out last minute for money reasons. it sucks but you will have a wonderful time anyways!! a smaller bridal party is less drama!!

I should also state that FH has two grooms girls and we will be asking them what they feel most comfortable in. Having his sistets with us is way more important than what they wear.

FFS, I'm seeing way too many really shitty friends.

FRIENDS ARE NOT PROPS FOR PHOTOS

YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS CANNOT BE REPLACED

YOU SHOULD WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO FEEL COMFORTABLE

If multiple people have dropped out of your BP, it *may* be time to take a look in the mirror.

Lol. Yes I'm speaking to everyone. Are you

@Kayla. I really wouldn't worry about what these people are saying just ask somebody else. I was telling you this happens alot. And giving you an explain that it has happen to me. Weddings are stressful.

They can't save up in 2 whole years? it is kind of hard when you're in college though. so much can change in 2 years so I hope it turns around better for you!

If you've already had two BMs drop out, I think it's time to start looking at your behavior. Why are these girls dropping like flies??

Personally its a bit early to be asking. That's just how I feel. I have 10 amazing women in my wedding party. I asked at 10 months. Well 3 of my cousins dropped out due to my sister being rude to them. I tried to fix it but they had made their decision. My sister then went on to get in arguments with other people in the party, say my bridal shower was to expensive, wanted to switch from matron to bridemaid after the dresses were ordered. Then get into it with me because I went to get my nephew. I had enough. She made the call saying she was pulling out. I chose to not stop her. The end

Since you asked way too early here is what you say

" I appreciate you coming to me with this concern. Thankfully my wedding is still a year and a half away. Please do not stress about this right now. We have plenty of time. Why don't we put this idea on the back burner and revisit your ability to be apart of it this time next year."

You ask your closest friends to stand with you as an honor. You should do everything yon can to accommodate them. Not make them feel pressured into spending money on your day.

No one cares as much about your wedding as you

@Jacks- "my parter and I choose to stand up for freedom, understanding and tolerance." Unless people don't agree with you, then your intolerance shows.

It has been said a million times on WW that the ceremony is for the couple, the reception is for the guests, and that the bridal party is only required to show up in the required attire. If her required attire is a dress, then OP is well within her rights to say the friend can attend as a guest. I do however agree that when OP discussed costs she more than likely had included a Destination Bachelorette party, extravagant bridal shower and that is why 2 people have dropped out or declined.

Who cares. People have non traditional weddings also. Meaning they do as they wish geesh

Irielle - "non traditional" is not a secret code for do what you want and treat your guests and BP badly

Non Traditional means - We choose to have donuts instead of cake! Or our centerpieces were board games instead of flowers, or we didn't do any of the traditional wedding events like the bouquet toss or having a BP.

Non traditional is not another word for bad hosting.

The bridal party is only suppose to show up. The bridal party is only suppose to show up. The bridal party is only suppose to show up. Omg. We get it. But non traditional. And when you saw up front what you expect its their choose to accept or decline. It's either your in this little box of whatever body think it should be and that's that it your cast out as a bridezilla. Well call me what you want

I don't recall writing that anyone in this thread was a bridezilla.

Only pointed out that you can't use the phrase "non traditional" to hide being a bad host or inconsiderate of your bridal party.
