I have three best friends, I've already asked them to be MoH and bridesmaids. I've even already bought their gifts (which were limited edition and I can't get any more of).
My Fiance is slightly OCD and cannot stand for our wedding parties to be different numbers. (I know it is widely accepted to have different numbers of groomsmen and bridesmaids, but he doesn't seem to get it) I am pretty laid back though and willing to accomodate - however, this means I need to find two extra bridesmaids.
I am fairly certain a co-worker and one of his cousins would stand up with me, and I plan on buying their dresses, and giving them a spa day with the rest of us girls if they do- but I am not sure how to ask them without sounding like the absolute truth which is, "Hey I need two more people to stand up with me to appease my fiance, will you help a girl out?"
I just feel like anything I do to try and ask them will be really obvious that we are not really close enough for them to be my bridesmaids and I'm desperate to fill the ranks. And I dont want them to feel awkward when we all hang out because as much as I will try to include them in everything, they just don't have the inside-jokes and history that my BFFs and I have.
Is it really okay to just ask them to be my bridesmaids with the understanding that all they have to do is show up to the wedding, rehearsal, and spa day for bridesmaids and that I will pay for everything? Seems a little cold, but I dont know what to do.
