Question

Is it OK to ask a friend to be a bridesmaid if she is married but you don't want her husband as a groomsmen?

Answer 1

Totally cool, it falls into standard etiquette

Answer 2

yes...but i would seat them together at the reception near the head table.

Answer 3

I don't see a problem with this.  She, not the husband, is your friend.  Most of the time, the groomsmen are friends of the groom, so especially if he is not a close friend of the groom, he would not be asked.  

If the couple is supposed to be mutual friends with you & your fiance', you might have a tougher situation.

Answer 4

I think it's perfectly fine to do that.  My best friend will be my matron of honor and her husband will not be a groomsman at my wedding.
