Working with the Worst Bridesmaids
Your Bestie Has Popped The Big Question
"Will you be my bridesmaid!?" to which you cheekily replied "Sorry babes, I think I'm busy that day, and I think I have the plague... I'm kidding!! OF COURSE I'LL BE YOUR BRIDESMAID!!"
You girls hug, you happy dance, and you get straight down to business. "Who else is in the bride tribe? We have a hen's party to plan!" ... then you hear the list of bridesmaids and all of a sudden you wish you did have the plague. Surely a slow and agonising death will be better than spending time with this lot!
Your D Grade Bride Tribe Includes: The out of towner who can't help, but still wants to help. The bridesmaid who doesn't want to be a bridesmaid. The one who over commits and under delivers. The panic attack bridesmaid. The control freak. The bridesmaid who doesn't believe in marriage. The one who frowns on drinking The massive extrovert who can't shut her face hole for more than 5 seconds. The introvert who looks like she wants to run and hide every time you talk. The bridesmaid who wants the opposite of what the bride wants. The bridesmaid who thinks everyone should spend $2000 to attend. Urgh. The Worst. What Are You Going To Do!? Your bestie deserves the best hen's party the world has ever seen, but you're never going to achieve it with this lot, and nobody is going to listen to you... or each other. You need a third party who is in no way linked to the bride or her friendship groups. You need someone who: Will tell these girls what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Isn't going to be labelled as "another bossy bridesmaid". Will make sure the bride will get what she wants. Makes sure the introverts are heard. Makes the extroverts listen. Is professional and friendly. Will impartially mediate all disagreements. Will give you party ideas that are unique and completely suited to the bride to be. Book a party planning consultation with one of Party In Canberra's hilarious and talented experts. They can be your "fall guy", have tough discussions, and make sure your team works together to create the perfect party worthy of nothing less than 5 stars for the bride to be.
At the end of the day, you all want what is best for the bride to be, and to make her final fling before the ring one to remember for all the right reasons. Breathe in, breathe out, and make friends for the sake of your bestie, we can take care of the rest
