     BRIDESMAID STOPPED RETURNING CALLS  

I have a bridesmaid, who no longer returns my phone calls. My wedding is 5 months away, and all my girls were asked 11 months ago to be in it, and have all agreed. All the girls have met and get along, except for one. She can never make it to group things we do. She never made it in for her dress fitting and had to measure herself and call in the measurements. Apparently she was too busy to stop in. I had give my maids about 3 weeks to fit. Then when the dresses came in I picked it up for her and she complained that it didnt fit her right. I'm a seamstress and will be doing the alterations for the dresses along with my MOH. Since then I have called and left messages for her to call me just to talk, not about wedding stuff, and she hasnt returned any of them. We live about 45 min. apart. My MOH has called her a couple of times to set up times to meet to plan my bachelorette party, and she's rude to her and says she's to busy to help. What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Sarafina,

It is probably best as this point to be completely honest with her. Ask her point blank if she still wants to be in your wedding. You may have to plan without her and it is best to know now.

Best wishes,

Sarafina:

I have to agree with Rebecca. A direct answer is definitely needed. Although her actions clearly show that she is not supportive, it wouldn't hurt to 'clear the air'. There may be underlying issues. Such does not excuse her behavior, but may provide insight. Address the issue as soon as possible and best wishes for more smoothly run days.

I'd assume she's decided she doesn't want to be part of the wedding.

When you call her next, I suggest you leave a message that says if she doesn't return your call, your going to assume she has decided she doesn't want to be a part of it.
