     Do not want friend to be a bridesmaid in my wedding.  

I was in a "friend's" wedding a month ago. In hindsight I should not have accepted the bridemaid title but what's done is done. The only communication we had with each other before the wedding was when she decided to discuss the wedding or our responsibilities. She calls me her best friend but then again she calls everyone her best friend when it's convenient for her.

We did have a great friendship for a number of year but have greatly grown apart in recent years.

My problem is that I do not want to ask her to be in my wedding (just got engaged 2 weeks ago) eventhough I always thought that she would be in my wedding if not the maid/matron of honor. I know you are going to tell me that it is my decition and that I don't have to feel like I have to have her in my wedding just because I was in hers.

My question is, how do I tell her this? I know she will be very hurt but probably more angry (drama will insue). And what's worse is that my fiance wants her husband as a groomsman. I honestly do not even want to have her involved in my wedding at all, not even as a guestbook person. But I would like her there as we were, again, very close friends. But, currently, not close enough to warrant her being in my wedding.

Help?

There is no rule that states you must reciprocate. Just tell your friend that you are having a small wedding party and you have to choose between family members.
