5 reasons I don't want to be your bridesmaid

The shortest-known bridesmaid I have is from 6th grade so it's not like they had a choice

I have a bridesmaid right now that I'm thinking might give me one of these reasons..or all! *sigh*.

Except for the bitterness about being single, most of these excuses are legit....they just better suck it up. I'm not making mine spend a fortune anyway

Wow that person is so bitter who wrote this! I didn't like being a bridesmaid either I suppose, but I'm trying my best to make it a good experience for my girls - getting them involved when and if I think they'd enjoy it (and if not I'm DIY!) and trying to help them out with costs, not requiring them to get many things unless they want to, and we'll be friends afterwards, I know it!

Love the picture that goes with that article.

I've been the bridesmaid in the back with the champagne bottle at every wedding I've been in. No shame.

ETA: I also may have been the bridesmaid tearing into the crackers. FEED YOUR BM'S PEOPLE.

I felt exactly the same way as number 1 in the 2 weddings I was just in. Except for I haven't graduated yet, we're all still in school. But I sucked it up and spent all the money and time on theirs, so they better do the same for me!

I stopped reading once i saw the side article entitled "6 Ways to Get (And Actually Keep!) a Boyfriend"

WHAT

I don't think it's bitter, I think it's the truth. All of my BMs had better things to do with their time and money than be in my wedding, but they kindly were and I anxiously made it a point to spend as little of their money as possible.

I hate that I spent over $100 on dresses I was only able to wear once and that I couldn't do much with after, other than donate one to a prom charity and sell another on CL for $20 (hey, it's something.) I can help plan and be at showers and whatnot, but I hate dresses and heels and therefore kinda hate being a BM.

True story, I already told my cousin, who was my BM, that I would not be a BM for her but I would happily help her plan her entire wedding.

This is cute! The crazy thing is, that with the exception of my mother's wedding when I was 11 - I will never be a single bridesmaid (unless something crazy happens in the next 8.5 months).

I will be a bridesmaid in my bridesmaid's wedding, but I will be already married by then. (She's not engaged yet, but will be soon.)

I guess it just depends on how close you are. Everyone has something better they could be doing, but good friends I think would be honoured to be BM's? I was honoured, anyway. I've worn my BM dress again (it's a cocktail length silver/grey dress from David's Bridal). It would suck though if you wouldn't wear it again.

I've never been single and a BM before though so I don't know what that's like :\

Y'all...its SATIRE. aka a joke. Don't take any of seriously. It's just supposed to be funny

I LOVE this!

I was literally dying at number 2

What? haha there's probably a few things on the website that aren't safe for work, but definitely not this one in particular

I. Love. This.

This is great, and i'm definitely comparing it to one of my bridesmaids lol.

Well this is also why you ASK someone to be your bridesmaid.

And this is why I didn't have bridesmaids! Best decision ever. Very drama free and I think my friends were really relieved they didn't have to be in the wedding. Everyone wins

That was hilarious! I want to see the one from the Matron on Honor (which I have) viewpoint..."married, kids, DIY paper Poms for your wedding....."

This is why I don't have bridesmaids haha
