Changing wedding plans and asking a few bridesmaids to step down
When my fiance' and I originally started to plan our wedding last month we were leaning more towards a traditional church wedding with seven or eight bridesmaids. Three of the bridesmaids are girls I've just recently grown close to and the other three I've grown up with but live in other states and don't get to see much of anymore. We recently decided to change plans and have a destination wedding, scaling down the guest list and bridal party since my fiance' and I will be paying for two nights stay for each of our attendants. We decided to cut back from 7 bridesmaids to 4. How do I tell the other three that I previously asked to be in wedding party that we can't afford them? Since these girls are really good friends, how can I still include them in the wedding? thanks.

Dear Kysma,
You could simply tell them the truth. It is best. But, if you ask them to play any part in the wedding, you would be expected to pay for their lodging.
