Bridesmaid dilemma

Daisy, 14 August, 2022 at 12:13 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 3
My partner and I are getting married in July next year, I have already chosen my bridesmaids but now I'm having doubts.

Can I cut 2 bridesmaid out of the bridal party if they gave gone completely silent and ignore any correspondence.
Another issue is If I cut out one of the bridesmaid then I also lose the flower girl.
Any advice?

    You can do whatever your want, it is your day, but be prepared for fallout. If you have been trying to communicate and getting no response then I would say cut them, do you really want people at your wedding who treat you like that? As sad as it is and you would lose the flower girl, again, the day is about you and H2B and not filing roles in your bridal party. Maybe send messages to say you feel that due to the lack of response you dont feel they want to be part of the day so you have decided to reduce your numbers and they are no longer part of your day. This is likely to get a response and it may not be nice so make sure you ar 100% happy to cut them. Or try and reach out and see if they have something going on that is causing the no response, but be honest about how you are feeling and if you want, try to work it out. Only you can decide what is right

    What kind of messages have they not been responding to? Is it clear that they need to respond soon? If your wedding is a year away, it won't be high on their list of priorities right now, so they may be thinking they have a while to respond yet.

    I'd second this - and also think about whether you might be in "wedding brain" mode. Are they possibly feeling like all you message them about is the wedding? Are you remembering to check in with them and their lives?

    Also, try to see them in person - gauge the vibe and how keen they are - messages distort so much.
