She Wasn’t Included In Her Sister’s Bridal Party, So She’s Refusing To Help With Her Sister’s Wedding Planning And Getting Called Petty Over It
Choosing who’s going to be in your bridal party is a major decision, and most brides only want those closest and most supportive of them as bridesmaids on their big day.
Whether or not to include siblings in your bridal party is also another big question, as some siblings simply don’t have a tight-knit relationship in adulthood.
But what happens when your sister totally excludes you from being a bridesmaid, despite the fact that you were always really close?
One 28-year-old woman is currently grappling with this very situation. Her younger 25-year-old sister, Lucy, will be tying the knot in just a few months.
Yet, despite having a close relationship throughout their lives, she was not asked to be a bridesmaid at Lucy’s wedding – and it really shocked her.
“Instead, Lucy chose her friends and left me out,” she recalled.
She wound up confronting her sister and asking about this, too. However, Lucy claimed that she just wanted to keep the bridal party small. So, her sister only decided to include friends who’d known her fiancé for a good amount of time.
“I was hurt,” she admitted, “But I tried to respect her decision.”
Ever since all of that went down, though, her sister has become increasingly overwhelmed with all of the wedding planning – and Lucy turned to her for help.

According to her, her sister’s been asking for a lot of help, too, with everything from organizing the bachelorette party to even creating DIY decorations.
In the beginning, she agreed to help her sister out here and there. But since then, Lucy’s requests have only increased, and she just doesn’t want to invest that much time and effort into so many more responsibilities.
That’s why she wound up telling Lucy the truth about how, while she’s happy to occasionally pitch in, she can’t commit to so much – especially because she wasn’t even included as a bridesmaid.
Well, her sister didn’t understand her perspective and just became really upset. She even got accused of being unsupportive and petty.
“Our parents are also pressuring me to help her, saying that family should come first,” she vented.
So now, she’s unsure if refusing to help her sister out with wedding planning since she was excluded from the bridal party is actually petty or not.
Isn’t the stuff her sister’s asking for help with supposed to be a part of the bridesmaid “duties?” Why do you think she was excluded from the bridal party? Would you want to help your sister in this situation?
