Wedding Postponed - Adding Additional Bridesmaid

Michelle, on April 5, 2021 at 12:30 PM Posted in Planning 0 3

So I got married in November in a small ceremony with only my parents and husband’s parents. We had to postpone our original plans due to COVID and are having the wedding we always wanted this November. Originally ( before we had to postpone) I had two bridesmaids, my sister and my long time best friend. I had considered asking one of my coworkers but didn’t because I didn’t feel like I knew her long enough. Now, a year later, I really want her to be in my wedding because we have grown so my closer and can see us being friends for a long time. I know this is a unique situation but my one concern is that I don’t want her to feel like an afterthought. Thoughts?

    I wouldn't ask her. While it's nice that you want to include her, judging by how you two are pretty close, I'm sure she knows you've already picked your bridal party and that you've had to postpone now. Asking her is nice, but she'll def. know she was an afterthought and could have hurt feelings. If it were me, I'd ask myself why I was all of a sudden good enough to be in the bridal party, and if you hadn't postponed, would I still be considered.

    If you want to include her, you could always ask her to give a reading during the ceremony.

    I went through this very thing. Before postponing I had 3 girls with me and my male best friend. His wife and have grown closer during the postponement as well she had to do the same for her wedding. I made the decision to add her to the wedding. It was the best choice I made. She was already getting ready with us so why not. She didn’t feel like an after thought or anything and had a blast! I say go for it and I say to always make her feel included and if your budget allows offer to get her dress that she doesn’t have to worry about not having enough tome to get it.

    I say go for it! You can tell her the exact same thing you told us - that you've grown even closer over the last year and would love to have her by your side! 💕
