One of my BMs actually sent me that article because she thought it was funny. I am NOT having one of these because I think that they are absolutely pathetic. Do you want these women (and sometimes men) to stand up with you and be your honor attendants because you love them or because you want them to look good (i.e. no weight gain, no changing of hairstyle, no pregnancies). One of my BMs is planning on getting pregnant sometime this year (our wedding is 13 months away). She actually asked me if I would get upset if she was to be pregnant during the wedding! If that were to happen, my #1 priority is the baby's health and her comfort! I can't believe brides actually make people sign these... talk about Bridezilla.
Is it April 1st already? You've got to be kidding! Those brides mind as well hire 'models' to be their attendants.

I think a lot of those bridesmaid contracts circulating around are just jokes (see story below):
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3217531
Or I hope so anyway!
About 10 people have sent me that article over the last few days - mostly people uninvolved with the wedding, thank god (I'm not one of those brides, please don't let me be one of those brides).
I think they're urban legends that keep going around to keep us in line - the more bridezilla stories we hear, the more worried we are about being bridezillas, right?
Well have you guys seen that show Bridezillas. There are some over the top crazy brides on that show. I could see some of them making their bridesmaids sign a contract.
I just don't get why you would care what your bridesmaids would look like. Especially this mentality of everyone has to have an updo so that it looks all the same for pictures. Or you have to have the same shoes. Is it really going to throw off your pictures if one bridesmaid wears her hair up and one wears it down. I think that is the silliest thing I have ever heard.
I think there are many control freak women out there and I think they feel they can have ultimate contro which isl over their wedding. I have to say if a guy is marrying a girl who is this controling and demanding. RUN! cause could you imagine what your life would be like.
haha Sweeney made a post about this yesterday morning and I found some articles about them (both from the UK)
an article about it here: <font size="2" color="#99cc00">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/02/04/nbmaid104.xml</font>
and if you are in need of a contract you can download one from the magazine that did the survey here: <font size="2" color="#99cc00">http://www.youandyourwedding.co.uk/index.php/v1/Bridesmaid_contract</font> so
I thought it was interesting that under the picture in the article the caption said that it was the latest trend in america...but maybe that's for the same reason people thought it was legit in the ABC article

I just sent it to my bridesmaids as a joke. Can't wait to see their reactions.
So I sent the contract to my bridesmaids yesterday. Out of 8 two thought I was serious one being my little sister who called my mom up from college crying because she thought I sent her the contract cause she is fat!!!!
Gee I thought my girls would know me better than that!

I've never heard of that! My only rules were 1) No crazy hair colors (one bridesmaid goes from blonde to green to brunette to orange, so I asked she has it toned down for one day) and 2) No visible boob tattoo. If the boob tattoo is visible, you're dress is WAAAAAY too small. It's more of a running joke than a demand
I agree that the hair/pregnancy clauses are ridiculous. But...what about a contract that lays out what the bride expects of the BMs, and vice versa? i.e. "Bridesmaids will pay for own dress & shoes. Bride will pay for hair and makeup. Bridesmaids will throw wedding shower, bride will pay for favors and food." Or whatever. I think it might be helpful for people who are timid and having trouble speaking up to the BMs about their responsibilities for fear of offending them.

Hi Ladies, did anyone hear about the report that 1 out 5 brides (this was published in a UK magazine) make their bridesmaids either agree or sign an agreement that they will not gain weight, change hair color, cut hair, get pregnant etc.
Can you imagine!!! Any of you know someone like that? or are their brides on this board that would actually think it's a good idea. Just wondering cause I honestly can't say I know any one like that.
