Adding a Bridesmaid and Groomsmen (sort of) last minute

My FH and I have been talking about it and we both really really feel strongly about adding two people to our wedding party. Our wedding is in two months. The only reason I didn’t ask the girl I’m thinking of now is because she really gets on my sister and my best friends nerves. The closer we get to the big day, the more dumb that sounds. He didn’t ask his friend bc I insisted on only having five. There is time for them each to get their attire. Should I just ask?

    My wedding was only 4 months ago back in May and I added my friend at the beginning of March. So I'd say you have plenty of time for her to get her dress for your wedding.

    Were they invited to any showers or bachelor(ettes) or pre wedding activities?

    If it was me I would feel like they needed to fill an extra role and I was asked as a space holder. You obviously know your friend best but it would personally hurt my feelings to be asked just 2 months before the wedding.

    Yes they were invited to all of the activities except the dress appointment but only two of my bridesmaids went to that.

    There’s no space to fill. We would be making more room for the both of them. Idk. I haven’t asked yet. Maybe it’s just best to leave it alone.

    Personally, if It was my wedding - I would choose to leave it alone.
    In her shoes, I would likely feel B-listed and might not appreciate the sudden hurry to pick and pay for a dress when I wasnt given the courtesy of being included in the first ask.

    Hi Emily! Agreeing with Katie here, it may be best to leave it alone so that no feelings are hurt.

    Base the decision on your relationship with the person, not how they get along with others. I would 100% ask if you have been having a strong feeling about this/would miss the person on your wedding day. I asked my brother to be a part of my wedding day a couple weeks ago and my wedding is in 15 days sooo it is never too late as long as the tailor/seamstress can make it work!! Smiley smile

    Thank y’all! After thinking about it and discussing with my FH, we decided not to add them. It just adds to stress we’re already feeling and both of them have been understanding about not being in the wedding party. They’re still a big part of the day regardless!

    I think you should, especially since you and your FH want to have these people in your wedding. be straight up with your potential 6th bridesmaid. tell her that you regret not asking her sooner. What matters is that your wedding day includes who you want, it doesnt matter what your sister and bff think
