Okay ladies the other day my sister texted me telling me to not buy my niece a flower girl dress I responded with why!??? She then later texted me back saying because once she moves out of my moms house she doesn't want anything to do with my mom..... I asked her how that has anything to do with my niece being in the wedding and with her being a bridesmaid. She had no response! At this point I'm furious because I'm losing a bridesmaid and a flower girl! I explained to her I need to know for sure what's going on and that I am heartbroken. Her excuse again was that she doesn't want anything to do with my mom... yet she still lives at home and has no soon plans to move out! It doesn't make any sense! I told her it upsets me that she can't put her differences aside with our mom to be apart of the wedding. I've supported her through thick and thin and have always been there for her and this came out of nowhere. My wedding is three months away! I called my mom in tears (cont in comments)

Yeah, repair family ties first. Is she just trying to cause drama or ...?

"Truth be told, you can be upset. I would, it makes NO SENSE to attend a wedding but not be a part of the wedding party. "

Makes sense to me. We can all tell brides that their only responsibility is showing up, but we all know that most bridesmaids voluntarily choose to be involved in things like showers and bach parties, they come to the rehearsal, go to the dinner afterwards. They pose for tons of photos and get introduced into the reception. It sounds like her sister doesn't want to be a part of all those things because usually the mother-of-the-bride is involved in most of them (maybe not the bach). If we choose bridesmaids because we want to honor THEM, not because they owe us something, then logic dictates that we don't get to be pissed when they say they'd rather attend as a guest. Just as a wedding invitation isn't a subpoena, neither is a bridesmaid proposal.
