Advice…

So it’s my friends wedding in April and I’m one of her bridesmaids. (Will be about 4 months by then) Her hen party is in March also, which I really don’t have energy for but of course im still going. I’m worried that when I tell her im pregnant she won’t take it so well as a couple of months ago she made a comment to me and another friend saying ‘you better not be pregnant at my wedding’ it was a joke but im not so sure it was🤔 My partner says she’s not a true friend if she takes it badly and that we can’t stop our plans for her wedding which I know is true but I just need abit of advice on how to break this to her gently… any tips?

Like your partner said, any good friend will be delighted for you so share your news with pride girl!x

I agree with your partner. She should be happy for you. You can't stop your life because she's getting married. At 4 months, you might not even be showing. So the dress hopefully isn't an issue. But maybe tell her privately first. So she has a heads up. Xx

Ohh bless you! I'm in a similar boat, but will be 36 weeks when I'm due to be bridesmaid for my best friend. It's an awkward situation, but I told my friend when I was 5 weeks, just to give her as much notice as possible. I'd tell her sooner rather than later, I'm sure it will play on her mind but at the end of the day her wedding isn't about you and your situation ❤️

Thanks, how did your friend take the news? X

Understandably a little disheartened, I think she's panicking that I won't be at the wedding... but all I can do it assure her I'll do all I can to be there! But happy for me in the same breath, especially as we had a MC in October.

Ahhh I’m so sorry to hear that. Hope all goes well for the rest of your pregnancy! X

I’m MOH at my besties hen do and wedding in April and May and she’s over the moon for me, also took pressure off if I didn’t feel up to the hen do anymore.. a good friend will be happy for you! ✨ all the best telling her.. x

I am in a similar situation, I will be over 5 months pregnant at her wedding and will be a bridesmaid. I told her immediately and said I’m still coming and I’ll give my all for you. I won’t be going to her abroad hen do as the wedding is also abroad and all pf it is a bit too much financially now. But we will have a hen do in London. She is a proper bridezilla but she took it well and is very excited for me :) So my advice tell her asap!
