Bride-To-Be's Demanding Letter

Bride-To-Be's Demanding Letter, Bridezilla's Crazy Email to Bridesmaids Goes Viral. We Respond to Her Demands. It's being called the most insane email a bride has ever sent to her bridesmaids. But if you've been in enough wedding parties, you probably won't be too shocked by the epic bridezilla missive going viral this week.

The email, sent anonymously to Gawker, starts off by addressing the 10 "lovely" bridesmaids tasked with being unpaid interns for the worlds worst bridal boss. It goes on to anticipate their failures as friends and humans.

Thirty bridesmaids, one bride. It happened.

And while it represents all that is wrong with the wedding industry, it's also part of a trend for brides to send an "opening email" to bridesmaids with a list of expectations (i.e. demands, dates, overview of expected financial expenditure, etc.)

Brides on forums like Wedding Bee and The Knot debate how to present their demands to bridesmaids. Do you send a group email? Do you create a newsletter with updates? Do you outline what the bridesmaid's job entails?

The cost of being a bridesmaid

Do we need to say this is not the best way to get a bunch of people to do a you a favor? It seems like we do. Here's a response to the bridezilla email [read in its entirety here] from the perspective of the bridesmaid:

TO THE MOST DIFFICULT BRIDE EVER:

You wrote: "As you all know I picked 10 wonderful ladies to stand by my side, share and make happen my special day to Jake. Each of you individually have a reason and a special place in my heart of why I picked you to be a bridesmaid"
FIRSTLY, IT'S NOT AN HONOR TO BE A BRIDESMAID, IT'S A FAVOR.

Everything you said is really nice, but the fact that ten of us were chosen for the honor makes us feel more like an army than a select group of friends.
