Unsure on Bridesmaid

I have this friend, we were close in high school. Senior year had its struggles and we hadn’t talked for 6.5 years. End of 2019, she reached out and we started talking again and forgave all the things from high school. It has been nice having this friend in my life again. To the point I wanted to ask her to be a bridesmaid. However, I am now unsure.

I understood last year having issues getting together with the world shut down. But now with it opening back up, it’s been really hard to make plans.

I got engaged in May and have been trying to do dinner since before then and it still hasn’t happened.
Do I keep trying with this friend or no?

Just because she’s your friend doesn’t mean you have to have her as a bridesmaid. You can just invite her as a guest. As long as she is making just as much effort as you are I see bo problem in continuing the friendship.

I wouldn't make her a bridesmaid, but I see no reason not to invite her to the wedding unless she does something egregious in the next few months.

You don't have to make her a BM, just being a guest is an honour!

You don't have to make her a bridesmaid but you can keep her as a friend. Just because she may not be able to meet for dinner doesn't mean she's not a real friend. Life happens & other things become priority.

It’s my belief that, if it requires that much contemplating to select a bridesmaid (or a guest), then the answer is no.

I absolutely would not. If you are questioning the choice then the answer is no. You don't want to choose people who you have to question if you want them in the wedding or not. I'd only choose people that you are a 100% confident in the choice.

Keep trying with the friendship, but don’t bother with making her a bridesmaid.

I would not ask her because she is not part of your current innermost social circle. You can maintain the friendship but don’t ask her to be a bridesmaid.
