I have several close girlfriends and decided to pick my bridesmaids based on who would make me feel most at ease right before walking down the aisle. However, I decided not to ask one of my very best friends because of political reasons (if I asked her, I would also need to ask another friend who frequently hung out with us who creates a lot of stress). I am now feeling really awful at the thought of my friend being hurt by not receiving a bridesmaid invitation. Does anyone have any ideas on a special role she could play in the wedding (something more than greeting or sitting by the guest sign in book)?
Thank you for any suggestions or advice!
