Asked Not To Be Pregnant As An Attendant
I was asked not to be "very far along" as a bride`s maid for my sister`s wedding. My husband and I planned to try to have another child when my daughter turned one. This would make me large as a bride`s maid for the wedding and I have been asked not to be very far along. This seems like a lot to ask of someone and I am wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this or been asked the same thing themselves?
Thanks!

That is VERY rude !! And this is your sister?
There are maternity dresses you could wear and be a part of the wedding party and look very classy .
People know your married and have a husband and starting a family I am not sure what she is worried about - Its not like a pregnant bride walking down the isle.

Rudeness! "hi, i need you to put your whole life on hold so i can have one special day." this is soooo ridiculous that i don`t even have something fun and witty to offer you. But i think that you should get big and pregnant just out of spite if for no other reason! hahaha!

If she is going to be "embarrassed" by you if you are " so far along" in your pregnancy, WHY make your presence at her wedding? Maybe then she will realize what she had said and how that affected you.

Just so you don`t look "different" perhaps the other bridesmaids could put big pillows in their dresses. Then all the bridesmaids could march down the aisle looking 9 months along, and wouldn`t that make a wedding to remember?! Yes, tongue is in cheek with this suggestion, but it is no more ridiculous than what she is asking of you.

This is the topic I just spoke to my sister about.
I`m going to be in my sisters wedding next year and I`m doing a lot of the planning and more for the wedding too.
So, because we share our life together because of being sisters...I told my husband I do not want to be pregnant for my sisters wedding....I really respect the day and would like to be more then 100% for her, so,
We should plan the birth of our 1st child accordingly.
I don`t think that is rude. What about destination weddings? If some one special to you is far a long the pregnancy and not be able to make it or risk the pregnancy by traveling.
So another 6mo or so would not really put a dent in your life. I just hope she asked you nicely.)))
