Hello everyone



Planning on getting married this August. Anyone struggled to choose there bridesmaids. The way I would love to be would be my nieces bridesmaids and nephews walk beside them. As it stands at the moments if I go with this plan almost all my family guests will be bridesmaid. To top it off should I or do I have to have step daughter as bridesmaid or just have who I want. Am really stressing and worried. Want everyone happy.First marriage for me ,partner been married before ,want to make sure is a perfect day.Am I over thinking it.

    Does your step daughter want to be bridesmaid? If she does, she might be hurt to see your nieces all being bridesmaids when she isn't, but on the other hand, she might hate the idea! You could always include her by asking her to do a reading or something else to get her involved.

    I have thought about that, she not never said yes or no. She never said when other wedding she would love to be a bridesmaid. Will push her for a answer I think . Thank you

    I would ask her for her preference, making it clear that while you would love her to be involved in the wedding, you want to make sure she is involved in a way she is happy with. Personally, it would be my worst nightmare to be a bridesmaid - I loathed every minute the only time I was one! - but I love helping out in an informal way.

    I never been one,but see what you mean. The other problem I have is she can take over events and decision me and her father make. Example : today when looking at dressers her father said " she won't wear blue. You need to ask her what colour and style she would like " this is why am worried and can't decide.thanks.

    You need to set some firm boundaries. There's nothing wrong with giving her a bit of choice, as long as she realises there are limits. Eg. "I'd love you to be one of my bridesmaids, but you will need to wear a dress in x colour" or "the bridesmaids are wearing this style of dress. Are you happy with that or would you prefer to do a reading instead?"

    That sound great advise, may even use your words if you don't mind. Did not think to make statement or offer that way. Thank you so so much for advice.❤❤
