    Im having a rant as my bridesmaids are utterly useless! They were all meant to come up on Sat and not one turned up! My wedding dress is sat there waiting for me to try it on and i need one of them to put it on me as the corset is done properly! Theyve not even bothered to start planning my hen night so ive decided that i shall have it on june 19th and they can like it or lump it. im sick of waiting for them to do nothing! honest to god ive never been more annoyed for no particular reason in all my life. Not one has offered to help with invites, favours, they all agreed to pay for alterations on there dress's as i bought them but not one has collected there dress yet to be altered! calls have been ignored when ive tried to phone them and then its days later i hear from them. at this rate theyre all getting sacked and ill have none. huff.

    thats awful, try telling them how your feeling. Its getting close now and maybe they dont realise exactly how soon the wedding is and that they need to hurry up.

    You need to talk to them . You can appreciate that they all are busy, but they're cutting it a bit fine, Maybe you can delgate jobs to them individually .

    i had the exact same prob hun.. i planned my own hen night,, and i got rid of my bridesmades and im just having flower girls.. it just wasnt worth the hassle to be honest.. maybe you should talk to them and ask whats going on and say if they arent going to conrtribute and help you like they said maybe they shouldnt be your bridesmades (a bit harsh but its what i had to do) xx and 1 was my sister and the other my sister in law.. but i felt much better now i got rid of them.. hope everything works out hun x

    this weekend may be sacking time. ive had enough and im fuming. really truly fuming! ive got so much to do and im doing it all my bloody self! WHY! I have so many people who really wanted to be my bridesmaids and really would have been greaat but i thought these guys would be the best. I bought them alfred bloody angelo dresses, which are gorgeous! ITS NOT MY FAULT THEY DONT FIT! im not asking for much for them to pay for alterations. I need help and i cant believe with 6 weeks to go im planning my own hen night, this should have been last week or something.

    Well, you've done your best and basically given them an ultimatum...be there or else!!! Personally if they didnt show hun I would tell them were to go (will be difficult but at the end of the day...its your WEDDING for pity sake!!!!!!!!!)!!!!!!!!! Being asked to be bridesmaid is an honor, something they should feel proud about....yes you will always get the odd one that is slightly more laid back etc but surely they realized whenever you asked them to be bm's that there were certain expectations that come with the role....first and foremost...SUPPORT YOUR BRIDE!!!!

    Truly feel sorry for you hun being placed in this situation....keep us updated and we'll keep u right!!!!:) xxx

    well you have had 1 reply and say they will get the dress thats a start,, the second one well.. i think if she spoke to me like that i'd tell her where to go.. and the one that hasnt answered wait and see if she replys tomorrow if not leave a voicemail and if she doesnt reply i think you know what you might have to do. you cant have people letting you down before and possibly on your big day! its should be fun and an amazing adventure planning your wedding.. dont let people bring you down sweet!! xx
