Rescheduling for Bridesmaids Birthday?

A wedding definitely takes place of a birthday. And it’s really nice of you to want to recognize her but I wouldn’t make a big deal to recognize her birthday on YOUR wedding day. Definitely pick that day if it’s what you want and it’s meaningful to you and your FH, she’ll survive!!😊

As a friend I wouldn’t care at all. My date happened to be on my bestie bday too, and she is happy when I told her. She even say that this way she won’t forget to congratulate us 😊


It’s your wedding. And a wedding is more important than a bday. If she is a real friend, she would be happy for you regardless. Best friends don’t fret over a date. Choose a date you would love to celebrate each year of your life!

View Quoted Comment I actually feel the same way on all of this.

I wouldn’t be mad at all if my friend got married on my birthday. I’d be getting free drinks and food at the wedding, sounds like a pretty good birthday to me.
Some people are more attached to their birthdays though, but I’m ok not celebrating mine on the actual day anyways.
Honestly it’s a date that really means something to you guys, and I think that’s pretty cool.

Dude my wedding was on my best friend's birthday who was MOH. she absolutely didn't care and neither would i. i did ask her though but she knew like at the end of the day that was the date that worked for us. i honored her that day by having everyone sing to her happy birthday and by writing on our menus that it was her birthday today and at our rehearsal dinner the night before we surprised her with presents and a birthday cake

I would love to go to a wedding on my birthday!

I'd also love to go to a wedding on my birthday! Birthdays happen every year; weddings happen once

I think it's nice you asked her. I would take her at her word that it's fine, and move ahead with your planning.

It wouldn't bother me. My birthday was four days prior to my grandfather's birthday and my bridal shower was on my grandmother's birthday. They weren't bothered at all because they got to spend their birthdays with those they love.

I concur with those who commented above me! How cool that you asked her, that she said she'd be fine with it, AND that you'll get to celebrate on your anniversary of the day you met! You sound very considerate too. I'm sure your friend & bridesmaid very much appreciates you remembering her bday and you consulting her!

I agree with everyone, ESPECIALLY since you had to postpone under these circumstances, a true friend should be beyond understanding!
Also, she knew she’d have to travel when she agreed to be a bridesmaid so I’d just ignore any weirdness and let her get over it.

I think it's totally fine. She said it was fine, and most people I know wouldn't care, so I'd go for it!
