Experience I''ve been a wedding coordinator for 16 years. I authored a WEDDING PLANNING GUIDE, a Bride''s Workbook, that is available in local bridal shops. Tattered Cover Bookstores in Denver, CO as well as local Borders Books and through my website. I''ve worked with weddings from just 2 people to 350 guests and all budget ranges. I've also written and teach The Art of Wedding Coordination to those who want to become wedding coordinators.
Question When my fiance asked me to marry him, I did not know of how I was going to get as many brides maids as he has grooms men. So I jumped the gun and asked a high school acquaintance, of which I I have just started talking to in the past month to be in my bridal party. When two of my other brides maids and her went dress shopping I remembered why she was just an acquaintance in high school: she talks constantly about other people (their past, their current, their future, everything) that no-one but herself knows. It is the way she has been since high school, almost to let everyone know she has friends. I noted I can only stand to be around her for short, maybe three hour time periods at most. What do I do? Can I un-invite her as a brides maid? and how?
Answer Dear Alexa,
This is an issue that arises constantly,for just the reasons you mentioned. Unfortunately, there isn't a nice way to "un-invite" someone once you've asked them. I think you're just going to have to keep as much space between yourself and her as possible during the planning and the day of, but unless she comes up with a reason to drop out, you really have no choice but to include her.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
