3 answersI'm paying for everything, do I still get my bridesmaids a present?
I got my bridesmaids a proposal box with wine, chocolates, personalized glass water bottle and flowers when I asked them. I am also paying for everything (dresses, shoes, hair, makeup, getting ready robes, personalized coat hanger, jewellery, champagne, champagne flutes etc). The only thing I've really asked them to do as their bridesmaid duties was to come wedding dress shopping and will need their help setting up the venue the day before. Should I still get a separate gift or do you think everything else would suffice? Thanks :) I don't want to be stingy.

1 answersDo you think it's strange that I would love to have my best friend and my brother stand up with me?
We are still working out the finer details but I think I am wanting my best friend (female) and my brother to stand up with me on my side as I marry my fiancé. We both think it is a good move but hoping it's not too strange?? But in the end it's our wedding. :)

2 answersShould I pick the people I'm being told I should have as bridesmaids?
I am estranged from my family and don't have any close friends as I moved A LOT when I was younger. My Fiance has a large extended family and they're all amazing but I've always said I don't want any bridesmaids as I don't want to have people "for the sake" of having them or because it's what others expect me to do. My Fiance and his family have made it clear they expect me to have his sister and his cousin. But, I don't want them. What do I do? How can I disappoint that many people? Advice?

3 answersThe same colour and design bridesmaids dresses
I went to a wedding on Saturday of a friend of our. Turns out she's has the same colour and the same design dresses as I have chosen for my wedding in November. I haven't brought the dresses yet. But I love what I had picked. Would it be easier to change my colour choice or should I find a different dresses? Please help. We have the same group of friends so I feel I can't keep what I have picked.

2 answersBridesmaid and Pregnant
My best friend asked me to be her bridesmaid over 12 months ago. I just found out I am pregnant with baby #2 and will be roughly 7 months along for the big day. I am nervous about telling her because I don't want her to feel like I've ruined her day. She's had a few things happen recently which haven't been what she's planned for her big day, so I've held off telling her until 'the time is right'. Should I trust she'll be happy with my news or have I put another link in her day?
