Bridesmaid Issues

MrsMac2be, 28 November, 2010 at 13:48 Posted on Planning 0 8

To be totally honest I'm really not sure if I want bridesmaids anymore, they are more hassle than they are worth and its beginning to really hack me off.

I was having 5 BM's - 2 of them are OH daughters, well, as spoilt little brats as they are, they have fallen out with us AGAIN over something completely petty and to be honest they do this so often now that I dont want to lose my money by paying for dresses for them if they are going to keep throwing their dummies out each time they dont get their own way.

The other 3 BM's are my sister and my 2 nieces, they are not bothered about it at ALL, I asked them to come and look at styles with me, yep they came, but with faces tripping over themselves... its always got to be about them and if it isnt then they are bothered. They soon come whinging around me when they need a lift to just this place or just that place but when I want something back from them I have to practically fight for it.

I think thats my rant over with but I'm still in the same mindframe of not having anyone and I will bloody well struggle to get in my dress on the day rather than them whining and going on...

    Sorry you're having these issues KBS. How old are these girls? Hope you get them sorted. Could you have no bridesmaids and ask a close friend to help you get ready?

    My OH 2 daughters are 17 & 14, my sister is 43 and my 2 nieces are 20 & 18..

    To be honest my mum will be there on the day, as will my SIL so Im sure they will be more than happy to help. I'm just SICK to death of the issues that these people are causing, they are so full of self-importance I dont think they know what they are doing to me and Im not going to lower myself to go and tell them either.

    Sorry, I am just so cross right now.

    No wonder you're so cross.

    Your OHs daughters are more than old enough to know better.

    This is why I don't want bridesmaids

    To be honest i sometimes wonder whether to have BM or not. i wanted 3 BM, one been my OH sister and two of my closest friends.

    My problem is, one of my closest friends BF is a bit jealous of the whole thing so he's booked for them to go on holiday and suprise suprise hes booked it so they fly a few days before the wedding so she cant even attend! the other close friend now lives in Leeds, which ok its not far from Worksop but cant meet up unless its weekends but we both live hecktic lives....and my OH sister now lives in Cornwall.....its stressful just to keep everyone happy. and like you said it would be so much less stress and money if we didnt have them.

    Just invite them to the wedding and have done with it! It's your day and you can do it however YOU want! x

    Aww stepkids are the pits sometimes,my step-daughter to be hasnt even met me, and OH n I have been together 2n half yrs, but its her losss (as in i could be a good stepmother, just ask my kids lol) but also she is hurting her dad not me, she is 20, and such a spoilt dadys girl that i cna see her point, dont agree with it at all in anyway but i see how she can 'blame' me for taking daddy away........anyway i digress.............i dont knwo how easy it is to 'fire' a bridesmaid, but is it an option to sit and talk to them and tell them A) how you feel, how they are making you feel, and B) give them the option of 'backing' out?

    THATS taking jealousy too far, if i was your friend i would refuse to go on holiday!!

    Sounds like they're more trouble than they're worth and, as ebony rose said, they're old enough to know better.

    Would it cause a lot of problems to demote them?
