Ughh I dont want bridesmaids anymore

Karla, on March 27, 2012 at 1:09 PM Posted in Planning 0 38

I just feel like I dont want bridesmaids anymore....3 out of the 9 is always replying to my messages that i send once a month....I never asked them to do anything besides getting their dresses by a certain date and doing a makeup trial that i dnt care if they come to or not.....so i sent a mass message and two replyed back...I go on facebook and two just update their status...so i comment on one and said i just sent you a text...she replies i know i seen it....blank stare.... I just feel like cutting half off because I am not feeling like they even want to be bothered....and the ones who ignore me the most wasnt even my choice.....smh

    WHY do you have people in your bridal party that weren't your choice? I am not trying to be rude, but if you just placed them in the wedding just to have them in there how enthused do you expect them to be? Remember that no one cares about your day as much as you do or will. Unfortunately, that does not always include close friends and family. I have two bridesmaids and those are two friends that I have had since elementary school. My sisters aren't even in my wedding. There are just too many of them. I started off with 6 maids, but like Toni-Marie said Plan B. I cut them. Now I don't have the stress. I had to realize that you don't have to have a wedding party at all. The only folks needed are the bride and groom. The bright side is that you do have time to change some things around or get everyone on track. Best of luck to you!

    I'm with you!!! I been getting the sammmmmeeeething!!! No replies, facebook updates while ignoring my text/call, not making payments, never asked them to do anything but get dresses and shoes, got into arguments with 2 of my bridesmaids (which whom I have never argued with them and we been friends for 13 yrs.) .. 2 of them are now crying broke after saying they will be in it. Just stress!! My family is giving me stupid suggestions as far as replacement bridesmaids which is very annoying if they know I don't deal with them people like that let alone invite them to the wedding.. I just want to cancel the entire bridal party!

    I feel like I'm not going to beg you to be in something you don't want to be in.. It's so frustrating.. I feel your pain!!

    Karla,

    I feel your pain. Going through something semi-similar. But it seems like you are having a rougher time. Is it family politics that is causing you to keep certain girls hold the bridesmaid title?

    After problems with three separate Maids of Honor (apparently, every woman I know is a flake LOL), I cancelled mine altogether and I feel sooooo much better!

    Smiley sad So frustrating. Is it bridemaid act out day/month/year? I have 3-4 that always got something going on "Whoa is me" type issues. Im at the point as for whoever don't have their dress will just be a guest. Like Toni-Marie M. said have a plan B. My plan B is to have 5 instead of 9!

    I do want to point out that you said they answer your texts/messages/FB, are you actually picking up th phone to talk to these girls. It could be that they don't feel very included if you aren't taking the time to sit down and actually have a converstation with them. If you have tried talking to them and ge tthe same type of response, give them an out. Just say "I was really looking forward to having you in my bridal party, but I'm not getting the feeling that this is something that you are not enjoying as well. Is there soemthing else you would prefer to do at the wedding, like just doing a reading for me or helping out in another way without having to be a bridesmaid?" This way you are letting them know you want them in the wedding, but you are giving them an out.

    I kind of understand what you mean...I send my girls emails every now and then and I get responses from about 2 out of 6 of them. Most of the time its just information and doesnt require too much of a response but sometimes I would like an "okay", "thanks for the update" type response just to know that they received it and didnt have any questions. But I even had one girl say that I write books in my email lol...but I figured one long email is better than me sending one everyday with small stuff in it...
