My wedding is only in August 2019. My bestfriend told me that she is going in Australie in 2019 for a year. Probably going in july-August (I am really happy for her). And then she remembered that my wedding is in 2019. I had no choice To tell her that I want Her as my bridesmaid and that my wedding is in August and that I can't change my date. I also told her that I totally understand if she can't make it. ❤It is great and sad news at the same time for the 2 of us. She really wants to be there on my big day so she will try to delay her trip. I don't need an answer right now since we are 18 months before the wedding. What would be the deadline for Her answer? I was thinking beginning of 2019 🤔 What do you think?

    I agree with everyone about not giving her a deadline. It will make things so much easier for her and demonstrate your love and support.

    Well if it helps her weigh her decision at all spring in Australia amps up around September. She might as well enjoy her summer here then head over. Hope it works out for you Smiley smile

    I think once she has discussed her plans a little more, you may want to re-mention it, but don't give her a deadline to decide. Even if she tells you at the beginning of January next year, there is plenty of time to look for someone else, if that's what you want.

    I second this! I think if you leave it open ended itll make it easier for her to make a decision and show how much you want her there.

    I also understand the issue... We have a good friend (one of the groomsmen) who left to travel for a year last september and has been in Australia since january. We are super lucky though because he has picked pur wedding as an excuse to come home for a couple weeks before taking off travelling again.

    I say don’t give her a deadline, unless you are really strict about the amount of bridesmaids you are having! If it was me I’d have it as an open invitation to be in your wedding...takes the pressure off her!
