How to Bring this Up to My Girls!!!

Ladies...Ms. TK is in dyer need of your assistance.

I have a total of 7 girls in my bridal party (I know WTH was I thinking), and at the very beginning of this process I let them know that I was expecting for them to have me a KICK ASS bachelorette party, and when I say KICK ASS I'm not talking about spending alot of $$ or doing something EXTRAVAGANT just make sure that my last night out as a Single Woman is fun-filled, without me having to plan it.

WELL to date, some of my girls have spoken to me about the Bachelorette Party as well as the Bridal Shower..but no one is talking to each other.

I REALLY do not and ABSOLUTELY will not PLAN these events for myself.

So my question to you all is how do I bring this up to them?? I am in the middle of doing a newsletter for them and would like to incorporate it in there but I do not know how to word it without coming across as a "B".

Please HELP!!!

My wedding is in June and the girls have just now started planning, so they have some time! Do you have a MOH? That is "traditionally" who gets the ball rolling. And do they all know each other? Mine did besides one, so I had all my girls add her on facebook to get to know each other. I dont know if you do facebook, but my sister started an event private page dedicated to my shower. It's just a sounding board for the girls to plan and give ideas. It only has me and the bridesmaids and my Mom on it. That might be an idea!  Hope this helps and good luck!

I agree with the girls, just put in in plain and simple English that you would like to know the status of the Bridal shower and Bachelorette and if they have not started planning the events you can ask if they need help. You maid of honor should be running that boat and coordinating everyone else at least you can have a one on one with her on that.

The facebook idea is a brilliant idea. we have a private page as well for our bridal party and we update each other on everything from dance rehearsals to count downs to anything else wedding related :) my brides maids now know each another because they added each other on face book on virtue of them being on the private page we created :)

I agree with what everyone else has said. Send them a list of everyone contacts and possible dates for the Shower and Bachelorette Party and make sure everyone is available for those dates and politely let them know that its time to start planning. You know how people love to be last minute (unfortunately)

Well sometimes being a B is the only way to get these girls attention, I've has to I felt bad at first but it got them moving. I say have a lunch with them and being it up and let them know with the wedding you have no time to plan so they need to communicate to each other. Maybe you can assign duties to each girl. Making one leader. Good luck hun!

THANKS LADIES....I've taken the "B" approach with this one...unfortunately to get some of my girls attention I have to be....in the newsletter I just let them know that I need them to take the lead on this and if they could not to assign someone lead and or let my Mom, because she has expressed interest in assisting and or doing it!!!

Thanks ladies...YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!
