Bridesmaid etiquette?!

Hello! I recently asked one of my best friends to be my bridesmaid, we’ve known each other for 20 years! We have discussed all things wedding and how to involve me three kids etc, it’s all feeling very special!!

She has now said she’s been asked to be a bridesmaid for a girl she used to hate and now they are ‘acquaintance's’ as this girl drinks in the pub my best friend works in, I kind of laughed when she told me until she said she was serious and actually considering it🙈

This girl wants her wedding around the same time as me and I feel like she should be saying no😬 in my head I’m thinking does she just say yes to anyone that asks her to be a bridesmaid? Is my bridal party going to be compromised because her head will be half with me now and half with her? Is there not some sort of bridesmaid etiquette that you jsut don’t say yes to being one while you are already one?!

How close together are the dates?

I am wondering this too.

I wonder if the OP is ever coming back. 🙄

I'm going to ask her to be my bridesmaid just to witness OP's reaction.

I thought you were going to say she had accepted to be bridesmaid on the same day as your wedding.

Of course she can be bridesmaid for someone else. I am getting married next year- my bridesmaids are planning my hen do and I know they will want to do some dress shopping with me. They have offered to help with any admin or making of decorations I need so we are planning a wine and cheese night to make some bits but I wouldn't dream of dictating if they could be a part of someone else's wedding at a similar time to mine.

Interested in this thread?

Lol! No! All the BMs really need to do is be there on the day and possibly attend a dress fitting!

Mine didn't even arrange a hen. That was arranged by another friend who wasn't in the wedding party, they were just really keen and asked if they could!
