How to Tell Your Best Friend She’s Not the Maid of Honour (But You Two Are Still BFF Goals)

1. Pick Your Battlefield (a.k.a. Chill Zone)

No ambush texts. No “BTW” in the group chat. Slide into her DMs or better yet, arrange a real catch-up:

• Brunch & Bellinis: Because carbs + bubbles soften any blow.
• Walk-and-Talk: Let her walk off that initial shock.
• Café Confessional: Over cappuccinos, where drama tastes sweeter.

Avoid other wedding drama, here’s a guide for you to avoid any possible “situations” that could arise on your wedding day. 

2. Start with Some Love

Don’t dive straight into the cold hard facts. Warm up the crowd:

“Girl, you mean the world to me. You’ve seen me at my ‘I-can’t-believe-I-just-said-that’ moments.”

This isn’t about her worth; it’s about logistics, creative vibes, or your other bestie’s espresso-game. 

3. Drop the Truth… with Attitude

Be honest, but keep it cheeky. Try:

• “So, here’s the tea: I chose “Other Friend” as my maid of honour because she lives next door to the venue. Blame real estate, babe.”

“Would I have picked her if she didn’t own that espresso contraption? Maybe not, but a girl’s gotta have priorities.”
