Inviting People Who offer to help?

I have 2 dilemmas and need help with etiquette.

1. A friend who I was not planning on asking to be a bridesmaid is planning my bridal shower with 2 friends who I was going to ask to be bridesmaids. What do I do? I'm not have bridesmaids in the traditional senses (no matching dresses, etc.) but we are having our informal bridal party invited to more private events. Should I include this friend because she is helping to plan the bridal shower or should I exclude her because we're not that close?

2. A family friend told me to let them know if I needed any help in planning the wedding but I was planning on inviting them to the wedding. What do I do?

  • 1.  You don't need to make anybody a bridesmaid out of obligation.  There is no requirement that only your wedding party can help plan your shower.

    2.  Do you mean you were not planning on inviting them?  If not, I don't understand what the problem is.
