Need Some Advice

Hey Girls, I need some advice. A friend of mine since HS has asked me multiple times if she is going to be part of the wedding. Over the last year almost, we have barely hung out and right before we are supposed to hang out, she always forgets or blows me off. I have always given her the excuse that we are still thinking about it. We are planning to ask the Bridal Party soon, and she is not in the party. I would like her to do a reading if she wants to, but I don't really know how to tell her. Any suggestions?? Thanks

agree with pp that recommended not apologizing for her not being a bridesmaid. i wouldn't even bring up the BM issue and, instead, tell her you would love for her to be a reader in the ceremony. she asked if she was "going to be part of the wedding." if she does a reading, she will be!

First, how rude that she's even asking such a question and putting you in that position.  If you don't feel that close to her, certainly don't have her as part of the party just to appease her - and I don't think you need to apologize.  However, I wouldn't break up a friendship because of it either.  Like the pps have said, let her know you'd like her to be a part of the day by having her do a reading - but don't make it seem like it's not an important thing.  Doing a reading is important and a special thing - only 2or 3 people get chosen!
