Hi all
I have only recently got engaged so am currently deciding who i want as my attendants - I have a friend who is pregnant at the moment and will be due way before the wedding - the baby will be just over 1 by the wedding. I really want her to be my bridesmaid...but am worried that I will be putting too much pressure on her. I wouldnt expect her to do any duties like organising anything - I just want her to be up there on the special day, so it would be relatively little stress on her. I just dont want her to feel under pressure to slim in to a dress...and also I am wondering whether its the right thing to do to ask someone when they have a baby....as obviously the father will have to take care of it for the ceremony and morning beforehand - is it alright to expect him to do that, or is it too much to ask?
I think one of the things that makes me unsure is because our other friend is getting married and has deliberately not asked her as she thinks she has "too much to think about" at the moment. Now I thought that was a bit unkind...and although she would never say I dare say she was a little hurt. Please advise....I dont want to put anyone in a difficult situation or to have a reluctant bridesmaid - and my friend would be too nice to say so. But I also dont want to exclude her needlessly.
