Dealing with Bad Wedding Attendants

Sue Walsh on April 30th, 2008

Wedding attendants are an important aspect of your wedding day916223_ceremonial_4.jpg. They are the people you want to stand up with you on your special day. You have them to help you with planning when needed and to set up on the day of. Choosing the right people for the job can seem easy for most bride’s and groom’s to be but sometimes the people you pick are not the right ones for the job. As a bride you need your attendants to help when asked, within reason of course.A sibling or close friend might be thrilled to be asked but do not always want to do the job required of them. Once they accept, they might begin to become upset when needed for picking out their dress, dress fittings, bridal showers, and various other duties. This is where you see true friendships come to light. And if during this time you see your attendants become distant, you should ask them to no longer be a part of your wedding. It will save aggravation later for you as the wedding date gets closer.

Wedding attendants who do not want to help at any time are not going to make your special day good. It can be hard to tell them you no longer want them in your wedding but harder still to stay friends after they have not been the attendants they have said they would by helping you.

You will be a happier bride if you act on this as soon as possible. I have a friend who asked her sister to be her maid of honor and the sister did nothing to help until the day before the wedding when all the bridesmaids were helping. Her sister even went to the same place the bachelor party was held at a night club, instead of her sisters bachelorette party because she did wanted to see the band playing at the night club. The entire wedding planning, the bride tried to figure out how to fit me into her sister’s dress because of this disinterest and even after the day before help, the bride was disappointed in how her sister acted, along with several other brides.

AisleDash did a great post about this and how to deal. Check it out!
