A Pre-Nuptial Agreement For Bridesmaids

A survey conducted for the British publication You and Your Wedding magazine finds that more than 20 percent of brides-to-be would ask their bridesmaids to sign prenuptial agreements, and would withdraw the invitation to be in the bridal party of those who failed to sign. Among the most popular demands of brides-to-be:

• No weight gains
• No pregnancies
• No hairstyle changes

Following the survey, the magazine formed its own tongue-in-cheek version of a bridesmaid pre-nup which specified how much alcohol a bridesmaid could consume at the wedding, and how they should conduct themselves around male guests.

The survey also found that six out of ten brides would turn to a best friend as a bridesmaid, while less than half would choose a sister for the honour. In addition, fifteen percent of respondents were worried about being upstaged by a bridesmaid on their big day and fourteen percent said at least one bridesmaid made it into the wedding party due to family politics.

The editor of You and Your Wedding suggested that brides are becoming more fussy about their wedding party because eight of ten brides were paying for all or part of the event.
