Maid of honor issues

Jessy, on September 25, 2019 at 10:19 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 8
Don’t know who talk to but my MOH doesn’t seem to put much effort into much. We went to a bridal extravaganza and she just seemed so bored and not wanting to do much. We actually spent the night At a hotel with another bridesmaid and she barely talked to her (she has meet her before) she was just all to her self and it made me feel like the weekend sucked. I don’t want all my bridal functions to be this way. ESPECIALLY my bachelorette party.... idk what to do. Also I’m making A lot of bridal plans myself since I feel like I’m not getting much support. I just want this experience to be fun.

    Maybe tell her how you feel, and tell her you want her to be more involved. Communication changes a lof

    Is everything ok with her? Like did something happen for her to be that way? Like maybe she had her own personal issues?

    I asked her and she said she’s okay she’s just been working A lot and I completely understand that. But she was just constantly on her phone not including herself in anything /: my other bridesmaid even asked me if my MOH didn’t like her. So idk maybe I’m over thinking but I don’t want to feel down when I should be feeling up.

    Its probably just what she said. She's been working a lot and is stressed out. I know if I'm super busy and my friend wants me to go to something with her, I'll still go but that doesn't stop me from being tired or make my stress go away. A MOH doesn't have to do everything wedding related with you, and it was nice of her to go to the event with you. She probably could have acted more excited, but she may have been worried about something or just burnt out. It's a hard thing to realize, but not everyone is as excited for your wedding as you are. (I didnt mean for any of this to sound harsh but it's important to realize other people's feelings as well)

    Yeah it’s okay I mean I definitely worry about other people’s feelings over my own. But i wouldn’t care so much if this wasn’t the first time this has happened. But maybe your right she doesn’t need to be apart of every wedding detail. Thanks !

    Your friend might be going through a rough time. Definitely check in on her. Be a friend first, bride second!

    Sometimes wedding related things can get people down. For example, my MOH probably won't ever be able to afford a wedding, her and her bf don't have the best family situation and have had a lot of hardships. The only things I included her in was dress shopping, and she helped my mom plan the shower and she planned my bachelorette. When I was getting my gown she looked at some prices and was like "yup I guess I'm never getting married." I think it would have been torture for her if I brought her to any bridal shows or anything like that. Also, some people aren't interested in wedding stuff. I had a few bridesmaids who find wedding planning the most boring thing out there. But they were still a lot of fun at the bachelorette and the night before and support me as a friend!

    I recommend making sure that you are treating her like a friend first not always like an MOH. Make sure you ask her to hang out and do non-wedding things. Don't ask her for help with a lot of wedding tasks . Most bridal parties aren't involved with the planning of the wedding at all. They just take part in the extras - shower, bachelorette, etc.
