Is it unfair to invite guests without a plus-one?

  • Bridesmaids wedding

  • Posted by busyb

Hi. This is a semi selfish complaint but I still need some advice. I got engaged in January 2007 and asked my two best friends to be my bridesmaids. I set the date for May 2008 straight away. In september one of my bridesmaids got engaged. At first she was great then she decided to bring her wedding forward to the month before mine. At first I was surprised but still happy for her. Now she has used most of the ideas I had for my wedding in hers - things from what she is using in her favours, to what she is doing for her hen night and buying the same things for her centre pieces. I tried to mention it and all she said was some things were going to be similar. Her attitude is that her wedding is first so I should change my plans. Now she has told me that she won't be available for the three/four weeks before my wedding and can't help my other bridesmaid. I've gone dress shopping and I'm always helping her with her wedding. This latest statement from her as really made me regret asking her to be a bridesmaid. I am now wishing I had asked my third choice of bridesmaid instead. I hate being like this, I keep thinking that I'm being really selfish and should accept her wedding is before mine but my H2B is not happy I'm having to alter things now and wants me to uninvite her. We have been friends for many years so a large group of our mutual friends will be coming to both weddings. Any ideas on how I can handle the situation.

Bridesmaids wedding

Hi

what a shame for you to be honest I agree with H2B she doesnt deserve to be your bridesmaid and remember its your photographs and day be careful you dont regret it later on but it is difficult to uninvite her if you are within a group of friends you dont want to cause any hastle but hey the best about it is you will probably find that all of your friends will know exactly what she is like and she really wont be doing herself any favours it sounds as though she is jealous and it sounds tho' she has brought her wedding forward deliberatly to outstage you and your plans. You are not the selfish one she is. She must be really boring and uncreative if she cant organise what she would like without taking yours or others ideas. I would speak to a couple of your mutual friends who are trustworthy and tell them about the situation they will probably know exactlly what this selfish character is like this will put your mind at ease and help you to laugh at how pathetic she is being. Dont you fall out with anyone why should you but let one of your friends know exactly what is going on and im sure you will be pleasantly surprised to know that everyone can see her for what she exactly is making a complete fool of herself. Forget what she is doing and concentrate on the real meaning of the wedding ...you and your fiance committing for the rest of a happy life together this is what is important and hey if she carries on the way she is she will probably end up friendless and divorced before the year is out!! Good luck and dont fret noone is worth it
