Have any of you had to deal with letting a friend know she's NOT going to be a bridesmaid?

I recently told a friend I'm engaged and she went off about all the things she and the other bridesmaids are going to do and how excited she is.... problem is, I wasn't going to ask her to be one...

Any advice??

    Just don't ask her.  That will say enough.

    This.

    And if she keeps bringing it up, then you tell her that you've picked your BP and you'd be honored if she'd attend as a guest.

    Your wedding is almost a year away.  Tell her you're not making any WP plans for six months (which is actually a much better time frame). If you explore the boards here, you'll find LOTS of stories of people who chose their wedding parties too early and ended up with gigantic headaches because of it.

    If she won't shut up about it, and you don't want to tell her point blank she's not on your short list, just refuse to discuss wedding stuff.  You can tell her that you and your FI (and your parents if applicable) are doing the early planning, and prefer to keep things private for now.  This is generally the best thing to do, in fact. You'll change your mind a lot in the early stages, so it's best to keep it between you and your FI. You won't even know how big a BP you want for a while...

    Congratulations!

    Just go ahead and let her buy the dress, etc., but then give her the wrong date and/or time for the wedding.  Violin! Problem solved.
