I am honoured and privileged but unfortunately I would have to decline...

"I am honoured and privileged but unfortunately I would have to decline" - that is my polite way to decline all offers to be bridesmaid. The less than polite answer is "No way!" - for those who need a literal answer.

This is my official decline to all future offers to be bridesmaid. I feel very strongly about this issue and hopefully those who (even dare) think about asking me to be bridesmaid should respect my position on this issue. I will make no exception to the rule for anybody. I will, however, be thrilled to attend your wedding as a regular guest, instead.

The first and the last time I was made Maid of Honour/Bridesmaid at a wedding was a good experience. I was allowed to pick my own dress (which was beautiful by the way) and my responsibility to give a speech was waived. I doubt that anyone else would be willing to make those concessions - therefore, I refuse all future offers to be made bridesmaid.

Good luck in your bridesmaids search!

Ooh, did someone ask you recently to be a bridesmaid? Any wedding bells in someone's future?
