Bridesmaid help needed! We're having a fairly small, village hall wedding and to keep costs down I only want to have my two sisters as bridesmaids, however I don't know how to tell my 3 best friends that they won't be bridesmaids? Even before I got engaged they would talk about being my bridesmaids, but as they are all students, I know I couldn't ask them to buy their own dresses, shoes etc., and I can't afford to pay for theirs as well as my sisters', how can I tell my friends that my sisters take priority?

Hi I would just tell them that because of fund restrictions your having your sisters as bridesmaids :)

Just be honest with them. They are your friends so they will understand.

A friend won't mind.....they'll understand and still be just as excited to be there in your special day...maybe ask them to do a reading during the ceremony if you would like them involved xx.
