haha right? I have like 3 friend-ish type friends- we hang out a lot but i don't really trust them like that and don't think they're the type that would even make time to be bridesmaids for me
My issue is more family not friends I'm one of 5 kids and my fiancé is one of 4 plus I have a ton of female cousins that I'm close with. I'm not even asking friends and I already may have way too large of a bridal party.
Many thanks, been searching for "speech for the bride and groom from maid of honor" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Senyatt Acclaimed Smasher - (search on google ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for learning how to do an amazing maid of honor speech minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)
I'm 22 years old and I'm the maid of honor of my sister's wedding next year😂 I've been researching a lot on what to do so I can do my responsibilities despite my age
I’m not engaged or even in a relationship but this was so helpful! I’ve been planning my wedding just so when the day does come, I don’t have to worry. As I’ve been planning I made a lists of bridesmaids, but honestly I don’t even think I want any. We shall see in the future! Thanks for the video!🤗
This was really helpful, thanks. I have three picked but been worried about which of my other closer friends to ask. I hadn't thought of inviting some to the bachelorette, but not to be in the bridal party. I was thinking it was all or nothing. However, I would not ask family, because my family is not close, and I'm also not close with my fiancé's sisters; that would be really uncomfortable for me. I'd rather have my close friends around me at that time, who will help me relax and plan the kind of fun I really want to have, not what people who don't know me well would plan for me.
*About The Young Bridesmaids * Just select the responsible ones! I was a bridesmaid at 12 years old for my uncle’s wedding, and I helped out with most of the bridesmaid duties. Really depends on the person. (I helped the bride with jewelry, my bridesmaid dress, wedding theme, decor, etc.)
Yeah still wondering why my future sister in law never asked me to be her bridesmaid after calling me her “sister” for so many years. I have known her for 10 years, and I’ve only ever been kind to her and given her lots of love. 😕 🤷🏻♀️
This maybe crazy but why do I have to make family feel honored and included… when the day is about me. If I prefer my my friends for bridesmaids that should be okay
This was so helpful. How do you explain to the girls that don’t make the cut that you love them and it’s nothing personal. They are just not at that level.
Hey Christina! There's no easy answer, but honesty helps. You don't need to make up excuses or justify your reasoning. They might be feeling vulnerable at that moment but the most important thing is to reaffirm how much their friendship DOES mean to you and make sure you show them by your actions!
If you have non-supportive friends or family, make sure you understand why they're not supportive. Maybe they're just being biased, or have unjustified reasons for not being supportive - for example, maybe you and your fiancé are different races and the unsupportive people are racist or prejudice. In which case, those are unsupportive people you don't need at your wedding. However, it's also important to consider any possible valid reasons they may have for not being supportive of your relationship. Do they see red flags that you don't see? Do they see huge deal-breakers you're trying to block out? If that's the case, maybe you shouldn't be marrying this person to begin with... or, at the very least, maybe give it some time before you marry them. Just saying.
I don’t know, I’ve been estranged from most of my family for about 11 years. I did ask my sister to be in the wedding and she accepted, but it takes her weeks to answer messages from me. She caters to my mother who has always been very abusive to me and my mother has to come to the wedding for my sister to be in the wedding. She has declined invitations to visit before the wedding and usually just ignores my messages. I really regret asking her to be a bridesmaid. I really regret telling her it would be OK to bring our mother to my wedding in spite of my past abuse. And I really regret asking her when she’s obviously very disinterested in me and my wedding. I am heavily contemplating telling her that maybe it’s not a good idea, what, with the family estrangement and factions.
Would you Recommend having a Sibling in the Bridal Group that has Usually been the Culprit of your Sibling Rivalry? Like I have a Younger Sister that Often has Moods and our Relationship Oscillates between being Close and Me having to Forgive her for this and for that, Nothing Major, but I've often had to Forgive her for her saying this and doing that, being available and then Shutting the whole world out...And I've finally concluded that she treats me the way she does because she's Unhappy with the way her Life has turned out and she Can't be Genuinely Happy for Anyone else... If it's Depression she genuinely suffers from, then there's Absolutely Nothing she's tried to do about it in 30 years...And I've Often been there for Her, I Can't Say the Same about Her however...She's Often Left me High and Dry when I Needed her the Most...Would it be Common Courtesy for me to include her in my Bridal Group or Should I save myself the Drama and Eye Rolls and Sighs which she often does in my Presence??
Hey Claire! It’s hard to say not knowing the particulars of your situation, but I am always one to support unity and reconciliation in family relationships. Family is with you for life and if you exclude your sister, you run the risk of seriously damaging that relationship. Now, if you feel like she would turn your wedding day into a circus if you included her or if she is abusive to you or if she would be such a distraction then maybe you could consider an alternative option.
Me and my partner are not including family in our bridal party. Yeah, family might be constantly in your life, but on your day you want people who uplift you and support you marriage. That does not matter if you have not seen them in a year if you know they will make your day special then ask them. That is my opinion.

Imagine having enough friends to worry about who to have or not have as a bridesmaid....

I was looking for videos about Groomsman and landed here, and I straight up had the same thought 😂
I have so many close age cousins that I can’t even think of adding friends even though I would like to have a few friends in it 😅
You have such a calm demeanour on camera I feel like everything is gonna be ok now 😂♥️

You do not need to have family as your bridesmaids or your sister in laws, you should have who you Want as your bridesmaids

My wedding party will be my sister , childhood friend , and 2 favorite cousins 💗
I’m an 11 year old, why am I here? 😂 I’ll come back when I’m engaged, 😂
I wish I saw your video earlier in my wedding planning 😰
This is such a great video! Thank you for your advice, I really think the last piece of advice is the most important.
Thank you so much! So glad you found this helpful. Are you planning a wedding yourself? Let me know how that's going :)
You are so likeable on camera (in the best way!) thank you! your video was a great help ❤️
Toni Europa thank you so much! I appreciate that
Yeah, my boyfriend has 5 sisters and I fully plan to ask my baby sister to stand next to me. Bridesmaids set 😅
Yeah still wondering why my future sister in law never asked me to be her bridesmaid after calling me her “sister” for so many years. I have known her for 10 years, and I’ve only ever been kind to her and given her lots of love. 😕 🤷🏻♀️
😕it’s so awkward and honestly makes you feel like a joke
Maybe she doesn't feel as close to you as she feels close to some other person
This maybe crazy but why do I have to make family feel honored and included… when the day is about me. If I prefer my my friends for bridesmaids that should be okay
Can you make a video on how to tell a friend she’s not a bridesmaid ? 😬
If they're a real friend, they will understand. but I'm curious about what she thinks too!!
Yeah, my OCD won't allow me to have an asymmetrical bridal party. Just no.
Amaizing ! You look so confortable ! You should continue!! ❤️

I had my 3 sister in laws, and my sister. Plus my niece and nephew. And he had his 2 cousins my brother and my cousin.

I only need one bridesmaid and my fiancé only needs one best man. The day is about us and no one else. Small and intimate for me.

When you said girlfriend I thought you meant a date and I was so confused

DEFINATELY!! 100%%%%
Why does it matter about who you’re going to be close with in 10 years? You’re getting married now?
Yes, chip on the shoulder....my best friend .....blows I want her there, but she is jealous😔🥵
