Hey all! Appreciate any advice here as it’s a decision that is weighing heavy on me.


One of my best friends is having an international wedding in July. And she is also having a bachelorette party mid June to Scottsdale and there’s only about 7 of us going. I’m torn because i just moved down to Florida with my husband and our 6 month old- we’ve been building a home since January 2021 and have been hit with delay after delay. We finally got our closing date which happens to be the same week as her bachelorette party. It doesn’t feel right to me that I’d be leaving my husband with our baby during a huge move (and also the most exciting time in our lives) also want to add that we only have about 2 1/2 weeks in the new house and then we are heading back to NY for over a month to see friends/family and then flying out from there for the wedding. So we really want to spend as much time as we can in the new house.
I wouldn’t be asking for my money back and i don’t want to screw anybody over. I just feel terrible because i also couldn’t make it to the bridal shower. Help!

    It absolutely is not rude. Your friend obviously thinks very highly of you to invite you to be in her wedding party. She should understand that with such major life events going on that you have no control over this. You are trying to do what is right so that you can be there stress free for her special day! No regrets. Do what your heart is telling you to do.

    I honestly think she will understand and be happy for you. one of my bridesmaids hasn't attended any of the things I've invited her to due to she just had a baby and won't be attending my bachelorette because she is going on a family vacation. I think as a bride I'm okay with it because she has been very upfront with me. so just tell her and explain you will still be paying for your portion I am sure she won't mind because nobody is having to spend more money. plus you could have her over after the bachelorette to show her around and to catch up on how it went.
