Hey ladies,
I need some opinions on how to handle this situation. FI and FI's family originally put some pressure on us to limit the # of people in our bridal party. However, finances have changed and we are now picking up more of the wedding tab, so things have become more flexible. I had originally asked my MOH and 3 of my close friends to be bridesmaids, but had been bummed out that I could not include one of my other best friends as well. Now that we are no longer under such pressure from FI's family, I'd like to ask her to be in the wedding party, but I'm not sure how to approach the situation. Suggestions? I don't want it to come across seeming like she was a "second choice", because if FI and I had had it our way from the start, she would have always been included.
