Re: WWYD - Bridal party related
I would go to the 2 fittings - or only 1 if I couldn't get out of work. I would also coordinate with the other MOH.
I understand your sacrificing your time with your child - I hate missing bedtime too. But, in the scheme of things you have 2 more fittings with her & a lifetime of bedtime stories for your child.
It would break my heart to think that my friend's mom couldn't make it & she went alone. She doesn't need you there but she does WANT you - which means a lot if she's a good friend.
eta. I would tell her I need to skip dinner. If she ask why, I'd say a busy day at work the next day rather than you're sucking too much of my time up

Ok, so I am going to her next fitting - now do I have to do dinner afterward too?? Do we have to make a night out of every fitting?
No you don't have to go out to dinner. But I would think that inviting you to dinner is her way of making the night more about your friendship, and not just about her fitting, a thanks for accompanying me now let's have a nice dinner and a drink. She probably doesn't realize you see it as a chore.

I wouldn't go. I think it's ridiculous and a little indulgent of her to expect everyone to be with her when she tries on her shoes, her dress, picks out what underwear she's going to wear, etc. I just don't get these brides that think the world stops rotating because they are getting married. You're entitled to "one day", not as many as it will take to make you feel validated or loved
I agree with you 100% You're getting married...you're a big girl...you can do these things yourself. No need to have someone with you every step of the way.
Of course when I say you, that really means any bride...not YOU--Ambersmom
No worries! I'm so anti-bride it's not even funny. I told my bridesmaids to go pick out whatever and let me know what they got I could GAS. Honestly, the whole bridal thing never appealed to me. Heck, I don't want to do it NOW

I would just let her know ahead of time you can join her for the fitting but you have to go home right after that.

Re: WWYD - Bridal party related
I would say at this point so close to the wedding if you can work it out to go, I would just go. With the pre-wedding stress and jitters, telling her you can't go to her most important fittings could cause a mess. I would think it would be best to have the same eyes looking at the dress to see how it has been altered from the previous visit. I would especially think she would want you there for the final fitting.
If you think she will be reasonable about it maybe let her know you can only go to one. She probably thinks going to dinner afterwards is a way to spend time with you and not an obligation. If she wants to go to dinner afterwards, just tell her in advance it will be late and you need to get home and schedule another time.
