If the bride feels uncomfortable about the situation, she may want to speak with her quickly about why she was kicked out and what she can do to make things right.
Is 7 too many bridesmaids?
Seven bridesmaids is too many if you want to have enough time for everyone to get dressed and ready on the day of the wedding. Additionally, this number may be too large if your wedding has a smaller guest list. Consider whittling down the bridesmaid order if possible or alternatively, using a different type of ceremony where everyone participates (e.g., proxy/readmittance) instead of having separate ceremonies for bride and groom and their attendants.

If you are a bridesmaid and want to step down, there are several ways that you can do so.

Many brides choose their bridesmaids based on who they are closest to and who they think would make the best attendants for their wedding.

The bridesmaids should be chosen enthusiastically by the bride. They should be good friends of the bride, and have similar backgrounds and interests.

Should the groom’s sister in law be a bridesmaid?
There is no definitive answer, as it depends on the relationship between the bride and groom’s sisters in law.
