I posted yesterday that one of my bridesmaids had to back out three weeks before the wedding. She had a good reason to, and is one of my best friends, so I still want to thank her with a gift of some sort. Not to mention she threw me an awesome shower this weekend! I’ve been thinking of maybe sending her flowers, but I’m not sure. Yes, I know most of you probably think I’m crazy for wanting to do this, but I want to thank her and I also want to show her that this isn’t the end of our friendship.

So what’s your question? I think it’s a lovely idea. It’s not like she backed out in the beginning and you even said yourself she had good reason to, so it doesn’t seem like you are pissed about it. I think flowers and a card would be nice. What do you plan on getting the rest of your girls?

I don’t think it’s crazy at all. If her reason was good for backing out and she threw you a lovely shower, then I think a gift would be appropriate 🙂

I think that is very sweet! I see no reason why you shouldn’t gift her. I don’t know that I’d do flowers, but maybe find something sentimental and personal she can keep for awhile!

i think that’s a great idea – it shows that youre relationship with her is still strong, and shows that youre a good friend – go for it.

You could always just give her what you are giving the rest of the girls. It sounds like she had a reason for backing out that you respect, and she has been there for you through the wedding preparation process.
