Hi,
I'm getting married next year and recently asked 3 of my close friends to be bridesmaids, they all said yes. I then checked with one friend, who had always maintained she wouldn't want to be a bridesmaid (hates photos, doesn't particularly get on with my DP), that she still didn't want to be a bridesmaid. I thought it would be polite to confirm with her and didn't think she'd say yes, but she said, yes I'd love to!
So now I have four bridesmaids, I think that's a nice number.
However, I have another friend who lives overseas who I would love to be a bridesmaid, have known her since I was a baby, we get on so well. I can't believe I didn't just ask her first, but I only spoke to her recently, haven't asked her yet but I would love to ask her too.
Would 5 bridesmaids be a little over the top do you think? I imagine it's not fair to "demote" the 4th friend, but equally I don't want a huge over the top wedding, and don't want people to think I'm greedy for having lots of bridesmaids!
What do you think?
