Refuse to be the Middlewoman.

If all of your bridesmaids, sisters and friends are texting you with tons of complaints about each other, your sanity-saving answer is...

"You guys are just going to have to work it out, find a way to get along, and solve your own issues. I've made requests that haven't worked,and now there's nothing left for me to say other than the fact that you only have to deal with each other for a few months, and you're already into the planning stages. I'm not going to be the middlewoman nor the ringleader, and this is all coming off as very junior high school to me. You don't all get along. I get it. I've been very upset and stressed about how all of you are fighting, so I'm asking you -- seriously -- find a way to work together, forgive and forget, do whatever you need to do, apologize, whatever works."

Want to copy this and e-mail it to everyone, plus a few of your own additions or changes? Fine by me!

It's way better to just put battling bridesmaids in their place if your first few attempts at making nice haven't worked. You have better things to do than to monitor their whirlwind of conflict. Let 'em figure it all out for themselves when you truly decide it's time for you to step away.
