Can’t stomach another bachelorette party? Nervous about public speaking? Wedding etiquette experts share how to (politely!) say no to being a bridesmaid.
Of course, it’s an honor to be asked. But accepting a role in a wedding also comes with great responsibility. And it’s only appropriate wedding etiquette to be upfront with the bride if you have any hesitations about saying “I do” to bridesmaid duties or other jobs. After all, it’s only normal to have reservations: participating in the big event can mean fulfilling equally intense demands.
“Whether you have a new baby or your job is so demanding that it’s just not possible for you to take any time off from work that year, tell the bride that you just don’t feel like you can be good enough for her,” Oren says. “Tell the bride you’d be happy to be there to support her , and take a supporting role. You just can’t take the lead.” For Would-Be Maids of Honor Speaking of taking the lead, serving as the maid of honor is a time-consuming role that’s not to be taken lightly.
