Does anyone else find this silly? *Vent*
I'm in a wedding in September, and I'm getting very irritated with the rest of the bridesmaids. Keep in mind that I am friends with the groom, and I don't even really know the other bridesmaids, but they've all been friends since high school. In any case, they have insisted on having 4 meetings just to plan the bridal shower, most of which I have been unable to attend due to my work schedule, and now they decided that we all have to wear matching outfits to the shower. We are supposed to wear "Bridesmaid" tanks and white shorts. First of all, I don't have white shorts and I don't want to buy them because I will never wear them again. Secondly, I've always felt like a bridal shower was and event when people dress a little nicer, and I think that we will look out of place from the rest of the guests. The other girls can't get over how "cute" it will be.
Also, there is no communication between them. I was just scolded today for not responding to a facebook message about whether or not I will be attending the bachelor/bachelorette weekend at a lake house. I confirmed with the bride and MOH and paid for my part of the trip a week ago. I also failed to respond to another post asking what everyone was bringing to the shower (we are bringing food) because I had again already confirmed with the bride and MOH, but this other BM thinks for some reason that I need to check with her, too.
Mostly, I think that I'm annoyed because it seems like they think that I should drop everything in my own life and spend the entire summer just being a bridemaid. Sorry that was so long.
Re: Does anyone else find this silly? *Vent*
Yea, this all sounds pretty ridiculous to me too. How old are these other BMs? They sound like they're 17 or something.
As long as you're RSVPing and signing up for what to bring with whoever is technically hosting the parties, I think you're fine and the other girls are out of line. If they're hosting the parties "together," then ya, you might want to respond.
This!!!
I would love this so much
And I really wish that I could have just been on the groom's side. All they have to do is get fitted for a tux. I'm actually really excited about the bridal shower though. I'm in charge of making the cupcakes and I'm thinking about making a cake. It's not that I don't want to participate, but I think that dictating what we wear is a bit much. Thanks ladies!
