Bridesmaid won't pick out a dress with 2 months to go


Warning: RantI will state for the record that I've offered to cover all bridal attendants attire up to $150 and that I'd prefer them to go through Azazie or send me pics of something comparable that they find in a specific color and length. If they did an online trial, I would cover that as well. All I asked was for them to cover their lodging. When we talked everyone was more that okay with this.2 of the 3 women have ordered their dresses and 1 guy is renting his suit in his home town. The last woman has not figured out her attire in any way and has been avoiding the issue for over 4 months even with gental group reminders on deadlines among non-wedding convoys... We are nearly in shipping delay fiasco territory and it has me on edge. Her parents live in the same town as the wedding so lodging is not an issue... I'm not sure what to do.A mutual friend asked us to be bridesmaids for her wedding in early 2020 and then got dropped a bill for a $250 dress and $750 a night resort which we both had to respectfully decline before covid restrictions hit. There is still tension but we both got to see our friend at her wedding a month ago. My bridesmaid and I split a room a town over and drove and made it work.I know that whole situation caused some mental distress for the both of us which is why I offered to cover the dress and trials and be to flexible. We've also been at this for a year now and she's still leaving it to the last minute with promise after promise that she'll take care of it.For what it's worth, she insisted that she be in the wedding party (although she was going to get asked anyways), she's an extreme couponer and has ADHD which is why I've really tried to just let her do her thing and just keep tabs on her progress. My FH has ADHD so I'm aware of a lot of what those limitations can look like, even for women, and I respect that.Rant overWhat do I do? Do I wait? Do I let it go and not mention it again and see if she comes through? I'm not sure at this point but the stress is killing me cause I don't want to be THAT bride and come off too strong, or put more tension on our friendship like the mutual friends wedding did. via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/3mar5m3
