    My maid of honour is my best friend but she doesn't seem to be helping much. She's not done anything to plan my hen night yet, anytime we arrange to do something wedding realised she's off with her boyfriend and to top it off she's just told me she won't be spending the night before my wedding with me (although we had previously agreed it would be OK) as its her birthday and is going out with her mom and boyfriend. Am I wrong for feeling a bit annoyed with her???

    I think I'd be a little annoyed with the lack of help to be honest.... As for the night before, I kind of understand that as its her birthday she has got something on however, it's not every year you get married!! You have a birthday every year, she could of perhaps done her celebrations another night.

    I'm spending the night before with just my LO. I'm going to be anxious enough as it is, I'd rather just be in my own company and I can get ready at my own pace in the morning to get to the venue!

    I would sit and have a chat to her about lack of help. My MOH was the same and I ignored it until a few weeks ago and it turns out she actually didn't realise you need to do things month In advance! Which ended up is rushing to find a dress get it altered ect. And she forgot about hen dos aswell my SIL had to organise it. But after we talking she stepped up, texting me everyday asking if there is anything she needs to do. As with the going off with boyfriend I would just say your annoyed (I think every bride would be) xx

    I'd prob be annoyed too but I agree maybe she needs a little push in the right direction.

    Try talking to her. Unless she has been married or planned a wedding before she may not realise how much help you need from her. Can she not come to your after she has been out with her family the night before. Best thing to do is just talk to her xx

    I don't think she has a clue what planning goes into a wedding to be honest. I will have a good talk with her and see what she says.

    With the night before thing, she shouldn't have told you it was OK as it clearly wasn't as now she's going to out I stead. That's wrong on her part.
    For the rest, I agree with the others, give her a nudge and a chance as maybe she doesn't realise what she needs to do.
