Wrong Wedding Party?

Abby, on August 15, 2019 at 1:37 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 5
Did anyone feel like they completely picked the wrong bridal party? I’m getting super close to my wedding (10 days) and I haven’t asked for ANY help with anything wedding related until now, and I can’t even get a simple text response from most of my bridesmaids. When I rarely do get a response, it’s just to fight me on things they don’t want to do or show up to... like the rehearsal dinner or the day of getting ready... it’s made me completely stressed out and feel super alone in the whole wedding process and I just don’t know what to do at this point because I don’t even want to be around them on wedding day... any advice on what to do? 😬

    Get ready by yourself, and have a sweetheart table. Mix them into the crowd at your reception tables and don't do a bridal party introduction.

    This day is about you. You don't have to honor your bridal party if you don't feel like they are honoring you.

    On the other hand, plenty of people here will snap at you and say it is not the bridal party's responsibility to help you at all and that all they have to do is show up. I call BS on that- if that was the case, they'd just be a guest.

    Act like a guest, get treated like a guest. No special table or shout out for someone who can't be bothered.

    Aha I had my moments where I felt that but at the end of the day I was so happy I chose them because they really are my nearest and dearest even though they're all hella unresponsive and unorganized.

    I second Annemarie! She is completely right this day is about you and it really sucks that you picked them to be by your side on one of the most important days of your life and they arent the least bit interested! The struggle is real My bridal party has me in the same spot. But we have to remember this is your day and don’t let any ruin it! Best of luck!!

    Wow that's so messed up that they don't want to get ready with you or come to the rehearsal. To me, that's the main part of being a bridesmaid. Are your bridesmaids family members or friends? If they are family members then you have to let it be so you don't cause family drama which would stress you out more. If they are friends then I'd say if you don't think the friendship is going to continue after this you could consider asking them not to bother coming at all.

    Whatever you do, don't get ready alone!!! Find other friends or family members that could be there with you that morning.
