Neeeeed to ventttt!!!

Terri, on May 3, 2018 at 15:51 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 11
So I haven’t asked one thing from my bridesmaids. No long nights of diy, no wine making, literally nothing. Two months ago I found out that my one bridesmaid who lives two provinces away was making a trip home. So I told my girls I wanted to have a brunch so they could all meet either at a restaurant or my house didn’t matter. I picked the Saturday she is home which is the only day the out of town girl can do it with being fully aware Sunday is mother’s day.

A month ago I mentioned it in our group on Facebook and nothing. No one has said anything about it. So next Saturday is supposed to be the day and I am beyond frustrated. I have literally asked for nothing from them and am pretty disappointed.
I feel sad that none of them are taking it upon themselves to figure it out. We didn’t do an engagement party nor will be doing a bridal shower as I feel they aren’t necessary. I just want them all to meet, that’s it. As a bride I feel like this isn’t my responsibility and they should of figured it out.

ugh

    I think that since they don't know each other and it was your suggestion that they assume you are planning the brunch (this was my assumption when I read your post). Maybe ask them if they all still want to meet on Saturday and just pick a time and a restaurant.

    I know how you are feeling, I had these expectations on my bridal party as well, and felt the same way. But what I realized is that there is a lot of miscommunication and lack of understanding on the duties of being a MOH and bridesmaid, especially if it's there first time. I would talk to the them separately, check in with them, see how they are doing, and let them know your plans. And remember its your wedding and not everyone (even the closest people around you) may be as excited for you. But try not let it bother you, be happy, enjoy the moments, talk about how your feeling, accept it, keep planning, and everything will work out Smiley smile. Never forgot the most important part of these moments and planning is the relationship between you and your future Hubby! Happy planning, everything will work out! Smiley heart

    Girl!!!! I know exactly how you feel, and it’s a really awful feeling. I’m sorry you’re going through that. Maybe try and and message them all separately ? Even though you shouldn’t have to.
    Ive been disappointed a few times already and it sucks. But you gotta TRY not to let it bother you. I’ve realized my wedding will never be as important to other people as it is to me. Keep your head up, focus on the prize.. marrying your wonderful fiancé !

    I would have assumed myself that this would be organized by you since you were the one to initiate it. Perhaps they have misunderstood?

    Definitely, check in with them and see what's up. Maybe just pick a restaurant and time for them to all meet, so it isn't such a big deal.

    The first time all my girls met was the day of the bachelorette party. They had been chatting on their own for months, which I wasn't aware of to plan things as well. It could be possible, they have their own chat going too. Something you can casually ask to see if they had any questions or anything.

    I understand this can be frustrating.. but perhaps they don't realize that you mean for them to plan it?


    I would assume, if I suggested getting together, that I would plan it.. unless I expressly ask them to pick a place and let me know the time/location. You're the person that they all know, so I could see how they'd be waiting on direction from you.

    I totally hear you on that! It’s happened to me this whole past year of wedding planning. It’s beyond disappointing!

    Oh that sounds annoying, but the brunch idea is an amazing way to break the ice!

    I think they're assuming that since it's supposed to be an introduction-type of event that you would be the planner, as you are the only link binding them. Also, if you've never asked them for anything, they might not know what their roles are either or what's expected of them.

    I think for this brunch, you might need to plan it and then talk to your girls and establish their roles moving forward (bachelorette party, wedding day, etc.).

    Hope it all works out Smiley smile

    The thing is I feel like as being part of a bridal party I feel they should being showing interest and there isn’t much. When I brought it up they should have picked it up and ran with it but no one did

    Hmmm I would stay on it girl! Maybe ask them to reply back if they’re coming and/or ask your MOH to say something about it as well?

    Did you message them individually too? I usually have to do that as annoying that can be since it would be nice to talk altogether!
