  This different colors aren't too bad if that is just part of the "look" but to split them up for the ceremony is just stupid.

  A friend of mine was telling me about a wedding she's in later this summer and I just had to share because I've never heard of such a rude and ridiculous thing. 

  
  

   The girl is a sorority sister of my friend's and she's getting married. Ok, great. She's having 18 bridesmaids (!!!!)... ok, eye roll. Big one. BUT they're divided into the (she actually is calling them this) "A Team" and "B Team." They have two different color dresses. The A team will stand with her at the altar, while the B team gets (the honor of..??) sitting in the front row. 

  
  

   I honestly don't know enough details to know any of the other specifics about what's happening.... but what the what? Is this a thing???!?!

  I know someone who did this at her wedding on a smaller scale.It's awful, and I feel bad for the self esteem of the B-list girls. Fucking say no!

  FWIW: My friend goes "isn't that the rudest thing you've ever heard of?" Which solidifies the "people will talk behind your back" response to "but my friends/family/slaves love ME and want my day to be speshul"

  I'm guessing that the "B Team" also stands for "Bridal Bitches that the Bride requires to show up for mandatory wedding planning/crafting events."

  You lost me at 18 bridesmaids. I know the general consensus around here is however many are your nearest and dearest, but honestly, I can't fathom more than like 7.

  Well apparently neither can she, really... she has separated her favorites from the rest...

  Wow. I'm guessing these B-listers were picked to be worker bees for the bride. They have to sit in the front row?! How embarrassing.

  This is soo beyond rude. I feel bad for those ladies who accepted thinking that they were part of a small (read: reasonable) number of bridesmaids that the Bride really appreciated and wanted to stand beside her only to find out that they are really the Bitchmaids and part of 18, though not the appreciated part. How many of those poor girls really want to take their acceptances back but won't because they think that would be rude?

  I am wondering how she asked these women to be BMs? The OP said she openly refers to them as "Team A and Team B." So how did that conversation go? "Will you do me the honor of being on my B-list?" "I'd really like you not to stand up for me at my wedding. Will you be on my second-best team?" Awkward.

  See... I can imagine coming up with this if my friends and I were under the influence and trying to out-do each other in "rudest things ever". But I cannot even fathom honestly thinking it and DOING it...

  Honestly too though, I'm having a hard enough time wrangling my three bridesmaids and MoH together into one conversation. How does she expect to do the full 18? Unless the B-list isn't worthy of direct wrangling of course...

  So wait, I get to buy some dress I'm never gonna wear again and I get to sit in the front row and I get to do your bidding (I'm assuming), wow...sign me up!!! Clearly this shows you love me!

  
  

  If I've recently had a lobotomy that is.

  I'm shocked that 9 women actually agreed to be B-listed as bridesmaids!! My answer: I love you, but no way.

  Is there any chance that the b list bridesmaids don't know they are? And don't know they're not standing up with her?

  I'd rather be C-listed and be a guest.

  There was an episode SYTTD Bridesmaids where I bride did this. She called the B-listers "Biblical Bridesmaids." It was redonk. 

  
  

  Why doesn't she just have everyone but her MOH stand up there and have everyone sit? At least that way they aren't so obviously ranked. 

  
  

  I'm already not a fan of bridesmaids, I think if I heard I was one of 18 I would feel even less special than just being a guest.

  H and I met a couple the second night on our honeymoon that had 18 bridesmaids.  She showed us a picture and it looked ridiculous.  They were from the south and I think invited their whole town.

  
  

  I've been to a wedding where the only people standing up with the B&G were the MOH and best man, and the other bridesmaids sat up front.  But that bride didn't make them buy matching dresses and included them in the processional, so while it was a bit odd it didn't strike me as rude.

  This bride sounds like one of those people who brags about her 22,326 "friends" on Facebook.

  Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't her family be in the front row?? I love my friends (not that I can even thin of 18 people I'd want up there with me), but my parents and brother take precedent over all of them, and they got front row at my wedding.
