Okay, this is a short one…

But in the past week, I cannot stop hearing about brides making their bridesmaids sign contracts. Apparently, “You & Your Wedding” magazine is saying that one in five brides would consider this, so I. Just. Couldn’t. Resist.
A POLL!!!!! I think we can put together a fairly good sample size (though I make no claims as to the legitimacy - this is not a random sample).
To be clear, let’s say that there are some more “normal” things to expect from your bridesmaids - maybe you want them to wear their hair up, maybe you want them to wear a certain dress, certain shoes. But let’s say that we enter into “contract” realm when you would consider having your bridesmaids sign something saying that they will not gain weight, color their hair, get pregnant, etc.
That being said, how ’bout it?
I definately say no. Your bridesmaids are there to spend your special day with you and to be by your side. They are not there for you to boss around. This is a wedding, and not a business transaction. If you have bridesmaids who are such divas, and they will not wear the dress you like, or the shoes you like, then maybe you need to pick new bridesmaids. If they gain weight, or get pregnant, so what? They’re only human
