Hello Brides!! I’m in a bit of a situation with mine and my soon to be wife’s bridal party. We have roughly 3 months left until the big day and it seems to be that our party doesn’t want anything to do with it.


This all started around 6 months ago, the only thing that we asked from our bridal parties was that they purchase their own dresses. My Fiancé and I have paid for everything that has to do with our wedding and we are both full time college students so money is a little tight. We sent them a showroom of dresses to pick from about 5 months ago and because this site takes around 3 months to get the dresses out we asked them to start looking and pick a dress that they liked within the options I had sent them.
Just about everyone decided to wait until the last minute to order their dresses after we’d already discussed how the site works. We offered to pay for some of the girls dresses privately because they had financial hardships and couldn’t make it work but then there were girls who told us they didn’t have money for a 97-117 dollar dress but turned around and bought a dog and a gaming console. While I understand that people make commitments to things my fiancé and I felt like we weren’t asking for much.
On top of that we have a 60 person guest limit for our wedding so we had to inform the girls that unless they were married their s/o could not attend because we wanted to make sure that our family was there. Several girls have taken an issue with this and have been unreasonably rude.
To make everything worse I got one of my dress options delivered the other night and sent it to them because I was excited and not one of them had a nice thing to say. I know that it should be what I want to wear and what I feel good in but I can’t help but feel like they will all be talking behind my back should I choose that dress.
Ever since this our bridal party has been distant from us and won’t put any input or opinions on anything we show them and I feel that we may have made a mistake with who we picked to be a part of this new chapter in our lives.

    No one is "watching you get married" if you are already legally married.

    But if guest list size was an issue, then no BP members would have been the more polite thing to do than not inviting BP members' SOs.
