Woman asks friend’s daughter to be her flower girl but doesn’t invite the mom, she says no after bride expects her to wait in the car during the ceremony: 'This is just totally bonkers'

Choosing who gets a spot in your wedding party is one of the most personal (and sometimes political) parts of planning a wedding. Bridesmaids, groomsmen, officiants, readers, ring bearers, and of course, the flower girl. They're all people you typically have a close bond with. The flower girl in particular is usually reserved for a kid who you find near and dear to your heart, like a niece, cousin, or best friend's child.

I was a flower girl in a few of my cousins' weddings when I was little. Just recently, my family did something I hadn't seen before. Since the bride and groom didn't have any young kids in the family, they gave the honor to their grandmothers, who joyfully tossed petals down the aisle. They called them the flower grannies, and it was adorable.

My point is, there are lots of options for what you can do with that role if you choose to have it. But asking to borrow a mutual friend's daughter without inviting anyone else she knows, not even her mom, is just plain weird.
