Is it rude to do away with your bridal party after you've already asked them to be in your wedding? I have had issues with ordering the wrong bridesmaid dress color so I had my bridesmaids reorder a new one. The new dress is very limited in quanity and some have reordered and some have not and now some sizes are sold out. The dresses are on final sale and are unable to be returned. There have been numerous comments/suggestions made about dresses, shoes, etc...by a few of them and it's hurtful, not to mention stressing me out! What do you do when you feel like all you are is a bother to some of your bridesmaids?

Let me get this straight, your BM's ordered a dress. It was the wrong color. Who's fault was it? Was it yours (you thought the color would be different)? Was it theirs (they all ordered the wrong color, had bad information)? Or the store's fault?
They reorder dresses that are on final sale and hard to get in the right sizes? Did the reorder cost more money? Have they all ordered and received the new dresses are some still having issues?
This is a headache and a half, really. Ordering and reordering special occasion dresses sucks. I can't say I wouldn't complain about it a little bit.
This is no reason to 'fire' your entire bridal party. If you do, I'd be prepared to a) pay all costs they incurred from your wedding (shoes, dresses, accessories) and b) be prepared to lose friendships over it.

[QUOTE]To "do away with" people generally means to kill them, doesn't it? Because yeah, that is pretty rude.

[QUOTE]I know exactly how you feel! Two of my bridemaids hate everything I choose and voice their opinions regularly then end with "but that's just my opinion."

Not that they said 'no', just that they voiced their dislike and followed it up with "but it's just my opinion"--meaning they'll still go with the thing you chose that they think is ugly if that's what you say?</div>
GB, it's not enough for them to do as she asks, it's their duty to paste smiles on their faces at all times, too.
