Maid of honour is out of province :(

That sounds great! That's so nice that they're introducing themselves to each other before the wedding. That'll make it more fun on the day of!

It's kind of reassuring knowing I'm not the only one in that boat. I almost wondered if I made a mistake lol. I have 6 people standing and not all of them know each other. Most don't in fact. They have now connected on fb and I think text messaging. I suggested the bridal party couple days before the wedding but left it up to them. Since they're all in contact now I think they'll get it figured... they better get it figured lol. Thanks for the support ladies!

My MOH and my other bridesmaid are both is Saskatchewan and I am in Alberta. My MOH wants to throw me a shower for the ladies in my hometown so we are working out a weekend when I can be in town for the weekend and she is also available. She doesn't have much for extra funds so I have told her I will help her out with funds if she needs. As for bachelorette parties I am not much for the type of drunken things highlighted in movies that I have seen. I am more low key and my FH and I aren't big drinkers so I am pretty okay with skipping a bachelorette party.

It's definitely doable! I live in CA and my sister/MOH lives in NY. I was lucky that she was able to fly out for my bridal shower but if she hadn't been able to, my mom probably would have thrown it instead. The MOH doesn't have to host the bridal shower and bachelorette. We did my bachelorette party the Thurs before the wedding because we wouldn't have been able to get everyone together beforehand. Could your bridal party fly in a day or two early and you can do something then? Otherwise, your bridesmaids can plan the party if your MOH can't make it. (They should be helping your MOH anyways.)

Definintely talk to her and see if she thinks she could swing an extra few days visit (If you don't mind having your party close to the wedding), or mention to your other BMs that you would like a Bachelorette party and see if they would mind planning a great night for you.

I'm not even having a bridal party, and two of my girlfriends are scheming to plan one for me anyway, so maybe they ahve already thought of this for you!

Any chance you are going home for a visit before the wedding? A party months before the wedding could still be great too!

OR have a "not a bachelorette anymore" party at a later date. We did that for a freind who had JUST had a baby before her wedding. We waited until after the wedding when she had settled into married life and motherhood, and we did a spa weekend.

You could also just talk with you bridesmaids and ask if someone would take the lead on planning the Bachelorette since MOH isn't here. I know I wouldn't full enjoy a Bachelorette so close to the wedding... I'll be a ball of nerves and constantly thinking about what I need to do, or bring, or not forget! But people manage to do theirs the week of all the time.

Hi! I am in the same situation, I am from NS and I moved to Quebec however my MOH is back in NS. I just have lots of phonecalls with her and with technology now a days I share a lot with her via facebook or sending pictures and am always asking opinions.
I actually bought my dress back home and have a fitting in april so we are having a Bachlorette then with all my friends from back home. She is going to come up a few days before the wedding to help me get last minute things done. So far it is working out pretty good!

I agree with Brittany and Emilie!

Hey Bethany! I like Brittany's suggestion! You could also meet in Nova Scotia right before the wedding to celebrate? Are your other bridesmaids still living in Nova Scotia too? I hope we'll be able to find a solution! Having an awesome bachelorette party would be great! You can take a look at these and maybe exchange a few ideas and plan it together?

What type of Bachelorette party do you prefer? Do all of your bridesmaids already know each other?

I like this idea Bethany! Is that what you're doing too?

Have her come into town a few days early! Like Wednesday and do it then! Consider asking someone else to handle local arrangements if you'd like a bridal shower or engagement party. It might be awkward but talk to your MOH and let her know it's important to you and you don't want her to be excluded but you'd really like the bride experience.
