Getting married can be a very stressful thing. Not only do you have to craft the ‘perfect’ guest list and find a romantic venue for the ceremony as well as the reception, but you also have to send out tons of invites, think about the food, and consider a ton of decoration details. Oh, and planning your honeymoon! All while fitting into your budget…
If you decide to hire a wedding organizer, it can really help reduce the amount of stress you’re under. In fact, the more tasks you delegate to pros, the more you can focus on enjoying the run-up to your wedding.

When Did Being A Part Of The Bridal Party Become An Unpaid Job
Generally, if there’s some sort of massive issue between you and a friend/bridesmaid, it’s best to talk to them face-to-face in private. It’s easy to lose a lot of the nuance when you’re primarily communicating online. When you meet up in person, there’s no hiding from their reactions, so you tend to be slightly more diplomatic and caring.
When you’re looking at a screen, it’s sometimes easy to forget that there’s a living, breathing person reading what you wrote on the other side.

Bridesmaid / Sister-In-Law From Hell
He should tell his fiancee that he cannot trust his sister to not pull something during the wedding, so they really cannot have her there. His family has shown their true colours. Keeping the peace right now means standing firm, because they won't allow for a peaceful wedding.
On top of that, when you’re criticizing someone in a group chat, you’re amping up the tension and causing (potentially) unnecessary drama. Instead, you could be looking for compromises or de-escalating the entire situation.
It’s important to remember that you and your bridesmaids are a team—or, well, you’re supposed to be one. Some conflict is probably inevitable, but at the end of the day, your friendship should matter more than proving that one of you is wrong.
Dark Skin And Yellow Make The Perfect Combination Though
Wow, so they bride is a racist too. And like the caption says, darker skin looks so beautiful in yellow. So many pretty golden colors that look horrible on me cuz I'm so pale, but would look amazing on women with brown or black skin tone.

Many arguments and conflicts happen either because there’s a disconnect between people’s goals and values or when there’s miscommunication. Oftentimes, it’s better to have more communication than a lack of it.
The rule of thumb is to never assume that someone knows what you’re thinking or feeling. Nobody’s a mind-reader (probably; maybe; we’re 99% sure!), so if something’s bugging you or you spot an issue, speak up.
Bride Wanted A "Perfect" Wedding, So I Left The Bridal Party
How about telling these unreasonable brides, "If YOU want it, and you absolutely HAVE to have it, YOU can pay for it. You can't treat me like a photo prop/personal beck-and-call girl and expect me to pay for the "privilege". If I have to pay for it, you'll just have to accept what I can afford. I'm not going broke for YOUR wedding."

This Is Such A Horrible Way To Treat A Friend
However, it’s not enough to notice flaws in someone else’s wedding, bridal shower, or bachelorette party plans. How you bring up these potential problems is just as important (if not more) than stating the issue itself.
People are often very attached to the plans they make. They might take any criticism of their ideas as an attack on their person. So, it’s usually best to err on the side of diplomacy than to be too blunt.

Speechless
Transparency and problem-solving aren’t sins. But many folks feel insulted and get overly defensive if they’re directly criticized. All that being said, there are definitely cases when you need to be more direct.
Not everyone is adept at picking up subtle clues that they should do something differently for the wedding or any other event. Or they might avoid the issue under the guise that they’re clueless. In those cases, be friendly, but be clear about your expectations as well as your worries.

Your bridesmaids are probably your family or friends, so they should be able to understand where you’re coming from, no matter the problem. The same goes in reverse.
The bridesmaids should feel like they can speak to the bride about any potential issues openly, without worrying about her transforming into the mythical fire-spitting snarling bridezilla.

If you find that the bride or your bridesmaids are gossiping about you and your ideas behind your back, it’s really not a good look. You’re all meant to be united in celebrating love and your friend starting a new era. While gossip is never going to go away (it’s a core part of being a human being), we can at least refrain from saying awful things about the people we’re supposed to care deeply about.

Ultimately, if you feel that your bridesmaids objectively do not have your best interests at heart, you may want to talk to them about any resentment or frustration simmering beneath the surface. It may be the case that your expectations for their role in the wedding might simply be too high.
Alternatively, they might have done something that made you reconsider their role, as well as your entire friendship. In case there’s been a falling out, it might be best to talk to them about how you’d like them to skip your wedding. This is better done in person while also leaving the door open a little bit for reconnecting after your Big Day.
I Was Part Of A Bridal Party And There Were Too Many Things Expected From Us
The images are from the engagement event in which the bridal party was responsible to fund, supply, set up, and breakdown (clean) the venue. The parents supplied some of it, but you can see the cost breakdowns expected of the bridal party.
Overall, I spent about $2,000 on the various events and travel for this wedding and I never even received a thank you! It was almost no-contact post-wedding, with the exception of one pitiful last-minute invite to their housewarming via text message three days in advance, which I declined and I wasn’t acknowledged nor did I ever hear from them again. Obviously, it was good riddance to such a horrible selfish non-friend, but it was a sad realization that I was just taken advantage of.

$550 for a bride's maid dress is unreasonable! Unless the bride wants to pay...
It's downright ridiculous and pretentious for the bride to even pick one that expensive. Even if the person can wear it again 20 times, it's still an awful lot of money for a dress--but one that likely isn't an option for re-wearing anywhere.

IMO only if you have parents with money coming out of their ears AND paying for all that, should you have more than two or three. Honestly it never made sense to me to go through all the expense of a big wedding, reception AND honeymoon.
Did you really decide on everything that fast? Engaged in September and by December the deposits were due? That's too much pre-planning.
How can you handle this? Oh, entering a convent comes to mind as an all-inclusive solution.

Any brides or prospective brides reading this. Stop it, just stop. Your friends / family are at your wedding because they are loved ones, not because they are accessories to the image you wish to portray, they are there to share your special day, not to make the video or photos look like a wedding photoshoot for a magazine, the focus is on the commitment to your partner, your significant other, it isn’t a day to control the ‘look’ of your loved ones, yes have nice dresses and hair / makeup but you don’t get to fundamentally change how your loved ones look. So, take a breath, stop being a control freak and imagine how happy you and your guests will be when you’ve got married and you all look like the people, the individuals, that you are. It’s about the commitment, it’s about sharing the love, it’s about everyone enjoying the day, why spoil that with some pipedream you’ve been fostering inside your head?
If you're engaged to someone who cares more about the wedding than the marriage and family, run. Run far, run fast. It will only get worse.
Why are some brides so insufferable and entitled? I skipped a lot of these as it was a tough read! The best thing to do if you encounter a bridezilla is to walk away and don't attend their wedding!!
I never buy any of the yap about wedding planning being "stressful". Weddings are typically planned *very* far in advance. What is so trying about calling a venue, calling a florist, getting a cake, calling a photographer, trying on a dress, making and sending invitations ... did I miss anything? ALL this has to be done over the course of months sometimes a year ... oh my, so stressful.
LOL. I didn't have a bridal shower. Our friends were poor and didn't want to aggravate them. No rehearsal dinner or tasting beforehand. Why do you need practice in eating supper? Nor a rehearsal (there are charges for this too). Music starts. Everyone gets up. You walk. Then just repeat whatever the guy in front is saying. How hard can that be? No bridesmaids or groomsmen; just witnesses. Dress code was whatever you wear at church and that includes jeans. Not everyone is like us but really, these brides are over-the-top shallow and don't chose their battles properly.
A wedding is one day. ONE freaking event! What happens the following day and all the days after? I just cannot grasp why some people obsess so completely over one day. What about the marriage itself? The lifetime you hope to share? What about your friends, your family, the people who care about you and about whom you should care? Go ahead, plan your wedding however you wish and can afford, but don't forget it is just ONE DAY. Burning friends and family to make a "perfect" day will cost you big time. I always wonder if these idiots remain married and if so, how.
Why is it that guys don't have these problems...Hey Joe, you wearing pants to Sam's wedding? Probably Jack and I might wear a shirt too.
