Is it too late to ask a couple of more friends to be bm?

I'm getting married in 4 1/2 months. I have a couple of friends who I recently became close to who I would like to ask to be in the wedding but I'm worried I've waited too long to ask. If the dresses are ordered very soon they will come in with plenty of time for the fitting, but is this asking too much?

  • Sounds like plenty of time and they will probably be so excited!
  • Really? Not a good idea.

  • Go ahead and ask. I had a friend who only asked a couple people because she had only be to weddings when there were only a couple. Then she went to mine (I had 6) and realized that she would really like a couple other people to stand up with her only a couple months before her wedding. So she asked and they were both excited.

    Repeat this to your self: My Wedding Party is made of my family and friends and I should treat them as such.
  • I would think they'd be happy. I mean, you said you recently became close to them, so I'm sure they'll understand why you are asking now, as opposed to before.Let them know that the dresses would need to be ordered soon in order for them to come in and altered on time... and if the time constraint is too great, maybe a compromise would be available?Either way, go for it. If they can't do it, they can't do it.

  • As long as you're not doing it just to even out the sides, sure. If you feel like it's asking too much of them, talk to them and see what they think. Encourage them to be honest with you if it's simply too short notice for them, or if they're cool with it.

  • This week I added 2 more to my BP...Both women are very important to me, and we've become very close over the past few months..not that we didn't get along before..I sat them both down..separately and said that I want to be surrounded buy people that i feel I have a very close bond too..people I want to still be with 10-20-30+ years from now and people who make me happy and I just really enjoy being around...I also told them to not feel obligated, because even if they don't I'll still feel that way about them. I have 5 months to go so that isn't much more than you..and it is plenty of time...I would just keep spending limited. For example, I know some of my girls are having some financial issues. (Along with such varying body types) so I told them to just wear a black dress...knee length or longer. I told them we can pull the look together with accessories. (Which I'll be purchasing. But that won't be too much either) Anyway, I think your friends will feel honored too =)
