No bridesmaid at reception

If she can still make it to the ceremony, I would say keep her in the wedding party

The ceremony is the most important part so that's nice she is able to go to that. It's a bummer she can't make the reception but I would definitely keep her as BM. You chose her to stand by you while getting married and she can do that

Don't kick her out of the wedding party. She can still make the ceremony.

The ceremony is the most important part. A Bridesmaid is to stand up next to you as you and your FS exchange vows. It sounds like she is able to do that.

Why would you even think about pulling her out because she can't make the party? The most important part she will be there. Make her a to go plate and save her a piece of cake. Tell her its a bummer that shes going to miss the party but when you return from your honeymoon you girls can have a make up party and celebrate.

Keep her in ceremony unless she asks to be let out.

The whole point of the WP is for the ceremony. What exactly do you think she's going to do beside eat and drink at the reception like the rest of the guests.

Do not kick her out, its not her call, she cant get the time off. If she was my friend, I'd be happy she could come to the ceremony at all. Pretty shocking youd go straight to kick her out.

Why would you even think this? She is in your BP, presumably, because you want her standing with you.

Ask your venue to make her a to-go plate, order a cupcake, and support her too.

I wouldn't pull her. The ceremony is the most important part and since she's able to attend that then she should be left in. Since she has to leave immediately following the ceremony I'd have the venue box up a dinner for her to take with.

Keep her .

The ceremony is the most important part anyways. It disappointing she cannot attend but there is NO REASON to remove her from the wedding party. She is your nearest and dearest and wants to still be there.

I'm sure you can thank her for being a part of your day another time. She wants to be there just as much as you want her there.

Well she told me that she would be stressing and running around just to make the ceremony and I don't want anymore stress being put on her than she already has.

Why would you even consider pulling her? Why would you NEED her there for the reception? You dont. That being said, it would probably be good to show her some consideration and make sure she knows that she is under no obligation to be in your bridal party if attending the ceremony will be difficult due to the curveball her work threw at her.

I wouldn't pull her, but if she is stressing about it then let her make the choice.

Just say, of course I would love you to be at the ceremony but understand if you won't be able to now.

Keep her!

Just talk to her and find out what she wants to do. If she would like to still attend the ceremony GREAT!! If she thinks it will be cutting her time short for work and is stressing about it then make it known that you UNDERSTAND that as well. Communication is a wonderful thing when practiced

Whether she remains on as a bridesmaid is her decision, not yours.

If she is set on attending the ceremony, with whatever stresses that come with that decision, let her.

She's an adult and should be capable of deciding what she can/cannot handle.

If she's concerned about being stressed out, give her the option to step down if SHE wants to, but don't kick her out.

If she can be by your side for part of the day, let her. It would be so rude to un-invite her
