Dealing with Attendants


When dealing with bridesmaids and groomsmen, you can come across some pretty sticky situations.  How do you deal with those? And what’s the best way to handle them? Rather than going BRIDEZILLA on everyone… choose the diplomatic route. 
Recently I was reading The Brides Diplomacy Guide.  This is a great book to get your hands on if you are dealing with the big crazy issues while in the process of planning your wedding.  It covers all sorts of topics, but the best ones that jumped out are how to deal with bridesmaids and groomsmen in the following areas:
  •        A competing engaged sister or friend
  •        A resentful single bridesmaid
  •        Bridesmaids fighting over groomsmen
  •        What to do when the bridesmaids hate the groom
  •        Dealing with late and irresponsible bridesmaids
  •        When bridesmaids suggest their own desires for your wedding
  •        Drunk party-animal bridal party members
  •        Keeping the peace for the bachelor and bachelorette parties
