Hi! I'm looking for some advice. First let me start I love my bridesmaid. They are all family or friends close enough to be called family. The four really close friends including my maid of honor are either single or in relationships where marriage is not going to happen. I'm really excited and want to share in the details with them. I think a few of them are sad about not being married yet (we are all in our 30s) or having a relationship at all. How do I go about all this and not hurt my friends? Thank you!!

Go about what?

In general, no one cares as much about your wedding as you. So continue being their friend, talk about things besides the wedding, how they are doing, what they are up to, etc. Being in their dear friend's wedding shouldn't be hurtful in any way.

I have close single friends and I don't change anything.

I will say that my recently married/married friends are more "interested" in my wedding planning but only because they've experienced it and are being reminiscent.

Don't change anything and definitely be careful not to approach them with an "I feel bad for you" attitude. That just makes everyone uncomfortable, especially if you think they are having issues with their singleness.

Definitely try to talk about non wedding things with them. I have a BM who was a little upset at first because she wants to be engaged to her boyfriend right now but I try to keep our conversations about her and if she talks about my wedding first I will talk about it with her. But I am really trying to be mindful of my BM's and not talk about the wedding all the time. I have a little less than a year and 5 months to go and I don't want them getting burned out.
