Please only ask people you trust with everything like your family to be your bridesmaids see far too many poor bridesmaid posts . People need to make wiser choices don't just pick them because they are your friends if they are not very reliable
Hi I couldn't agree more, the posts complaining about bridesmaids are gaining momentum :)
Sometimes you might think they are reliable when you ask them. Then they turn out not to be. There is a lot of posts about it lately though.
Last people I would ask to be my bridesmaid is family members (apart from my nieces). I don't get on with them and for me it's a case of you can't choose your family but you can your friends. I'd much rather have my friends as I trust them. My sister on the other hand I can't be in the same room with! x
Wish i could have my friends, they are the best group of people i could ever wish to be around and would 100% be there... unfortunately too many sisters between us (5) :( I'm including them by asking them to come wedding dress shopping with me as i know they will be 100% supportive and honest. cant understand people to be honest if they cant be their for you around a significant day like your wedding, they are not really your friends anyway!!
Luckily I'm having my 3 sisters, Dave's sister in law and 1 friend :) the only problems I'm going to have is my 2 older sisters are in Australia so they won't be able to come to any fittings or my hen party! But they'll be there for the day so it's all good! :) x
I'm only having family for my bridesmaids :)
im having my kids as bridesmaids and my best friend too, i did have a bit of a wobble when my best friend told me shes very ill, and thought she wasnt going to be there, after not hearing from her for a while shes still coming to the wedding despite being ill, x
