Covid bride: expanding bridal party?

Hello everyone! I am a COVID bride that was supposed to get married Aug 1, 2020. We postponed to Aug 7, 2021, so we’re 4 months out. My fiancé is adding a few people to his grooms party (new in laws and a cousin) and I was thinking about doing the same. I don’t really care about numbers, but right now my bridal party is only sisters + my best friend. Now, I am wanting to add my other 3 best friends. Is it rude to do it now since we were already supposed to be married? They’re all already coming to bach and shower and for my wedding, they only need to wear a black dress. I basically just want to say that if I learned anything during covid it’s how important my friends and family are to me and I can’t imagine my day without them. But I see a lot of posts saying they might feel like an after thought. Appreciate any thoughts!!

    Definitely not rude just because your date got postponed! I think if you just explain to them that you've changed your plans and now there's room for them, they'll probably be really happy. (Some people may be upset that they weren't in the "first" group to be asked, but those people probably aren't supportive of you and shouldn't be in your wedding party in the first place)

    True friends won’t care when of how you ask! They will just be thrilled to be asked! If you want to include them then do it!

    If you truly want to expand your bridal party I think its fine. You know your friends best and if you think they will be excited (and not feel like "2nd pick") then go for it.

    I am planning on doing this exact same thing. We had a minimony in November with just our parents and postponed the big wedding to this November. My original bridal party was just my sister and best friend. Over this past year I have grown a lot closer to another friend/coworker and am planning to ask her to be a bridesmaid. I have had the same concerns of her feeling like an afterthought, but I think you just have to know your people and if they truly are a friend they will just be happy to be included.
