[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they’re hoping if they act super low key, you won’t ask them to be bridesmaids.[/quote]

This was my thought too. They are worried that you're going to ask them to be bridesmaids which is a huge expense at a time when many people are struggling financially. Add to that the fact that OP is giving bridezilla vibes. They probably don't want to take on the expense of a [b]shower and engagement party, and bachelorette[/b]. It really adds up and they don't want to be in the hot seat for that stuff. [/quote]

I am not from this country. Don't those words all mean the same thing? Why have THREE different parties, before the actual party, ie wedding?

[/quote]

No, they are different and bridesmaids are expected to attend all three. [/quote]

And are often expected to do the planning and pay too. [/quote]

Thanks for explaining. I am flabbergasted. Surely not every American who has a wedding does this, right? [/quote]

No, not everyone does. I didn’t do any of it except the wedding. I had zero interest. [/quote]
