    Im in a pickle. I asked My best friend of many years to be Maid of Honour but she doesn't seem up to responsibility? On the other hand my other bridesmaid has booked all sorts for me and arranged meetings ect.

    Do i tell my maid of honour i only want her as a bridesmaid as its not fair on my other bridesmaid to be doing her MOH duty?

    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

    The best thing you can do is speak to her about it. Tell her you feel she isn't up to the responsibility. Then decide from there. xx

    There are a few possibilities here:
    1) worst of all, she might not be interested or want the role anymore so isn't getting involved. In this case you need to discuss with her as it may be best she step down.
    2) she may not realise quite how much was expected of her or so soon. This might just need a kick in the bum to help get her helping on things.
    3) she might feel pushed out by other bm who is helping that she's not sure what else to do. In which case giving her specific tasks to help with may help or get the two girls working together more.
    4) she might have other things going on in her life that your not aware of so sit and chat and find out what's going on. You are getting married and want her help but she is still your friend so take some time to catch up.
    Either way a chat over coffee may be the best thing so at least you know where you both stand and can make a decision going forward. X

    I'd say your best option is to have a chat with her :-) Tell her how you're feeling but in a really positive way so she doesn't feel defensive and then see what she comes back with ;-) Good luck! xxxx
