Reminders for bridesmaids

Ludvis, on April 18, 2018 at 13:22 Posted in Before the wedding 0 3

So the wedding party has gone completely out of control. there is a lack of hep from planning bridal shower, bachelorette and even helping with creating centrepieces etc for wedding. i know its hard when 2 members do not live in the city, however, there is no conversations at all. people say they'll help and don't, or bail for friends.

ive decided to come up with reminders for the girls (approved by bride) to remind them their responsibilities and of important dates or information.

My question is what kind of reminders..... so far i have general guidelines like dress altered, shoe colour, and important dates and what to expect but i feel i am forgetting something?

should i be saying bachelorette- BYOB and everyone is expected to cover brides cost or split cost.?

ive spent $700 on this shower by myself, her family is covering food thank god, but that not including an $100 emergency kit, or the additional 200-400 in gifts. i know i should spend more since she is my bestfriend, however, i feel they should be covering costs more than what they have. on a side note, one girl has been told and agreed to drive to cottage, however the bride has said if she bails for her friends like she has continuously should i be mentioning to her the consequences or no... i feel this is out of control and that no one is supporting her the way she should be.

ugh stressed to max over here.

    How long ago did the bride ask you all to be part of her wedding party? When is her wedding? I'd say if you don't have some sort of group chat in place, create one and express how you're feeling.

    I feel like my MOH is dealing with some of these same issues I feel for her and you! I just told her if no one wants to respond or help I have no problem helping plan and pay for things as she shouldn’t do it alone. I’ve also called my other bridesmaids out, not in a catty way, but just to say, hey I’ve heard that it’s been hard to get in contact with you or you don’t respond I think ____ is stressed out and could use some help!
    I would definitely talk about the bachelorette and let them know if it’s byob and the costs to make sure they’re comfortable with the cost and/or on the same page. My MOH made a group chat and then set a deadline to have their share of their money in for the bachelorette. Even then ppl were late but I stepped in again for her lol we have each other’s backs and I know people are busy and I don’t want them to have to spend a lot!

    My MOH has the bulk of the bridesmaids responsibilities. my other two are usually tied up with work commitments etc (one's a professor, the other's a supply currently covering an LTO), so i don't ask for much..i said screw it to a bridal shower and asked for a bride squad only bachelorette party either for brunch or even a spa day
