My fiance and I broke up for three months last year. We have since become re-engaged and plan a June 08 wedding. My question is: must I keep the same bridal party? In two years, although I am still friends with all of them, I am closer to some others than a few of my original invitees. If the original wedding is called off, will the original bridesmaids assume they may not be in the wedding, even though I'm marrying the same man? Or will they assume they are in the wedding party still? How should I handle this? One of my bridesmaids used to be local, my only local bridesmaid. Now, she is also out of town. I was hoping for some local support from a bridesmaid in the planning, etc. I'm not sure how to handle this.
Thanks!
Michele

Re: [musejoy] Keeping the same bridal party

Dear Musejoy,
Your bridesmaids may still consider themselves yours, especially since you were only apart for a few months. So, it is difficult to know what is best. But, when there is a change of plans, that opens the door for changes.
If you decide to choose alternate attendants, do so very honestly and delicately.
Keeping the same bridal party
