Dear Mary,
I am a bride-to-be and wanted to arrange spa appointments for my bridesmaids, but half the girls don't want to take the time or expense to go. Two of them don't see the importance of it. Can you offer some guidance?

Hi Carly,
There are a lot of expenses, decisions and events associated with weddings. Showers, stagettes, dress-shopping and family events are financially and emotionally exhausting when you add them all up! So take a step back and let your girls decide what they want to do without making them feel guilty and pressured.
Appreciate the friendships and support – and don't sweat the small stuff! And have a wonderful day! After all, it's about you, not them!
