Hey everyone!
My fiancé and I are getting married in May in Mexico, and we’re
doing another party in New York. Because it’s a destination wedding, it’s been
generally low key in stress. We haven’t stressed too much and if the only thing
I’m worried about is getting a hold of the resort’s hair and makeup team, I consider
it good so far.
However, we have started to plan our party following the
wedding and I’ve been finding that my maids are not much help at all. I haven’t
asked too much, and I just wanted to bounce some ideas off of them. While one maid
is out of town and is in two other weddings, I totally understand she’s got a
lot on her plate. However, I’m feeling like a few of the girls I choose to be
in my party aren’t really helping out and are just along for the ride. I even
wanted to see if they wanted to get together for brunch and I haven’t heard
much of a peep from two of them. (I have 5 ladies standing up with me.)
Am I jumping to conclusions? I don’t think I’m asking for a whole
lot, but if they can’t even email me back, is it too late to cut them out of
the wedding? How would I go about doing that without hurting their feelings? (We
haven’t even sent out the save the dates, but they are going out this week.) I’m
ok with doing this alone or with a couple of my friends, but I just don’t want
them to come back and say they helped the whole way when I needed someone to
lean on much earlier.
I mean if they can’t even get together for brunch or let
alone email me back are they really going to step up to the plate down the
line?
What are your thoughts?
