I am getting married next year in April and all I feel now is stress about the whole thing due to 99% of the wedding party and guests live on one side of the country or the other. My future husband and I live in Texas. I feel like I have just had a huge boulder slammed on me just the other day when I had one of my friends (a fair-weather one at that) AND my fiances future sister-in-law corner me at a party and BOTH asked if they could be in the wedding as brides maids.
I have a big problem with the fact they asked me that. In fact, I find it very rude. I hardly know one of the girls due to her being away at college and my "friend" never comes around, nor ever calls...not someone I really want or need in my wedding problem. I don't want either of them in my wedding. I have my two sisters as brides maids and my best friend as my MOH. I don't need or want anyone else.
How do I tell these two girls no without coming across as a pure bridezilla? Please help. I am desperate!

Re: [Angelrider] How to be nice and not hurtful...
[In reply to]
You're right - it was rude of them to ask and to put you in an uncomfortable situation. You didn't tell us how, or if, you responded but I would just ignore it unless they ask again. Then you can simply say that the wedding is going to be small and/or I have already asked my sisters and have all of the attendants selected. If you give excuses they will surely find suggestions of ways to get aroung them so be firm and say the deed is done. You can be polite but you don't really owe them an explanation.
