When I get married my 3 bridesmaids will all have newborns - 4 months, 3 months and 2 months max! I’m obviously over the moon for them all, but I’m also (selfishly) worried how this will affect the day and how I will feel on the day. The 3 bfs are best man and ushers to my fiancé so they won’t be able to take charge of baby duties.
I have absolutely no issue with the babies being at the wedding but what I think will upset me is when they can’t get ready with me or when we can’t get a photo together because they’re feeding/ changing/ burping/ generally looking after their babies and not being able to celebrate with them in the evening.
I’m also concerned about their concern on the day - I know one of them in particular will feel added pressure to be a super bridesmaid as they will all have newborns, but I don’t want any of them to feel like that. I was debating sitting them all down and saying that I’m not going to have any bridesmaids as I don’t want them to feel any pressure and would rather them be there as guests and feel free to dip out as and when they need to. I’m also very conscious that I don’t want to hurt their feelings, but I want to manage everyone’s expectations (including my own).
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
