My sister was appointed my maid of honor and I really want her to be there on my day but she does not seem too interested in commiting to this responsibility. In her defense the gowns are $365.00 but all are paid for as a gift from "our parents" in the event that each member of the bridal party purchases their airfare to attend the wedding in San Antonio, Texas. I thought this to be a sweet deal and with three months prior to today to get your own ticket there seemed to be enough time.
Each gown is being made and all the bridesmaid, except for my sister (maid of honor) are on schedule and covered.
If I believed my sister would come through I would buy her roundtrip airfare but the way she has been aloof as of late with all of the family I am not sure if she would show up even with everything paid for her. No one is rich and I don't want to waste money.
She has had opporunities to even earn the money for the tickets by helping out family members close to where she lives but she has chose not to.
I don't know what to do. I asked her to attend as a guest if it was a serious matter of money and my parents would pay for that instead of the gown but she didn't want that either.
See wastes money rather frequently on clothes for herself and partying instead of things like rent and supplies for the children so I am not sure if "she just wants a free ride" or if she is not interested. Whatever the case, the money for the dresses was due in April 1. It is now March 3 and she is the only one missig from the group.
What to do ladies? What to do?
The longer she waits the more costly the airfare. It has already gone up $100.00 since Feb.

I was kinda going through the same thing with my sister. As cruel and harsh as it sounds, you have to do you. If your sister wants to flake, then let her, her loss. If she decides like my sister at the last minute to participate, then she can be a hostess. Don't stress yourself about it....It's YOUR day. Don't give anyone else that...
Only 38 more days!!
i would have to agree with vwallace its your sister lost not your dont let her mess up your happy day, that you put time and effect into. best of luck i pray everythink works out for you
Not heard from ET in a while but Hawaii05 you are so right - do not take on anyone and their stupidness - as if weding planning was not stressful enough...I do however give you credit for actually letting her stand after she "came around" - her hip would have been sitting in the family section if it was me.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
