Back in December I asked my sister and 2 cousins to be my bridesmaids in May 2020. I would really like to ask a work friend to also be a bridesmaid. I’ve known her for 7 years and she’s the closest friend I have. I worry she’ll feel like it’s an after thought because I asked the others back in December. (I do think she’d be over the moon to be asked btw) What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I don’t think she would feel that way, I think it’s normal to ask family first - my sister did the same thing. Just tell her you’ve been thinking about your relationship lately and would be honored if she’d be your bridesmaid!

@xowanderer thank you for your reply! She’s the first person I text this weekend to say that I had found my dress so she is special to me. I would love to have her with me on the day. Just don’t want her, or other work colleagues to think it’s an after thought!

I definitely don’t think it’s an after thought, especially since all the other people you asked are family!

I agree entirely with @xowanderer & @schwa - I’m sure she won’t see it as an afterthought!

@schwa @ems14 - thanks so much! I feel much happier about asking her now. Thanks!
