Being asked to be a bridesmaid is a thrill, at first. The closer you get to the “big day,” the nuttier the bride gets, hence the nickname “bridezilla.” Now comes word that some brides are asking their bridesmaids to sign contracts promising not to gain weight, get pregnant or change hairstyles before the wedding.

According to a survey of 1,000 women by “You & Your Wedding” magazine, one in five brides are worried about bridesmaids letting them down. And despite the fact that 61% of brides picked a best friend to be a bridesmaid and 49% chose their sister, 48% would get rid of them if they didn’t stick to the rules.

I think brides who ask their bridesmaids to sign a contract like this have lost their minds. It’s bad enough that you have to buy an expensive dress that you will never wear again and the shoes to go along with it. Not to mention plan bridal showers and bachelorette parties and come up with a gift for the couple. And on top of that, you have to play along with the bride’s whims of how to wear your hair and what jewelry to wear.

Having only been a bridesmaid, never a bride I may have a limited view. But any bride that thinks a friend or family member is going to sign a bridesmaid contract, is probably going to end up getting their feelings hurt.
