Many brides, including myself, run into some troubles with their wedding parties. Did your maid of honour go AWOL 2 months before your wedding, did your best friend stop being your best friend because she couldn't be your MOH. You just want to get married damn it, where did all of the animosity come from anyways?
It's hard once you get to this point to sort things out. And its not fun. Tears will roll, names will be called, hair may be pulled. So I'm going to give you some tips to prevent things to getting to this point.
Picking The Right Party
- When chosing your wedding party you need to really think things through. I know its hard because you are super excited. But you have to really think it through.
- You need to figure out what their role is going to be, think about how much money they will need to fork over, how much of their time will be required. Write all of this down.
- Now think about those people in your life who are of most importance to you. Siblings usually trump friends. Or take the new passive aggressive approach and have multiple maids of honour or best men.
-Its best to meet them in person but if not, actually call this person (vs email). Tell them you want them to be apart of the celebration. Tell them all of the roles, responsibilies, time and money you believe will be needed in order to be apart of the bridal party.
-Tell them you will give them some time to really think about it. Then hang up the phone or change the conversation.
-Give them time to let it all soak in, no pressuring. They will give you the best answer for them. If they say 'yes' awesome now they know what they are getting themselves into. If they say 'no' please don't be offended. Sometimes people don't have the time or the money to really devote to being apart of your wedding party, doesn't mean they don't want to be apart of your special day.
