Telling someone they're not a Bridesmaid?

Would you ever tell someone when they WEREN'T a BM? When I chose my BMs, I decided not to ask one girl because while she was part of our "group" of friends, I wasn't as close to her and hadn't known her as long. So I asked the girls that I wanted to be BMs and never said anything to the other girl....

So I asked the girls that I wanted to be BMs and never said anything to the other girl. I didn't think it was appropriate to go up to someone and tell them that they weren't a BM, unless she said something about it. Fast forward to two months before my wedding, and some people are saying, "What, you never told her? You should've told her!" And apparently she's upset about it too.

I kind of figured me not asking her, would be indication that she wasn't! In the last 6 months I've only seen or talked ot her twice, and I really avoid talking about wedding stuff around her because I don't want her to think she is one or that I expect anything of her.

Am I in the wrong here?

    You wouldn't call somebody to let them know they aren't invited to the wedding without them asking.... so why would you tell somebody she's not a BM without her asking? You know what they say about assumptions.

    I was in a similar situation and I felt really awkward about it. I did tell her, I said, you were in so and so's wedding, and that other girl wasn't and I couldn't ask everyone .. super awkward. I was just honest. But she really just wanted to be included and I did feel bad. Weddings bring out weird emotions in people, and not just the bride.
