I am a bridesmaid in a wedding at the end of July. Everything is so up in the air with COVID-19, but her maid of honor has shown no interest and hasn’t reached out to anyone to plan bridal shower, bachelorette etc. I did try Reaching out to her to see what was going on, she just said that she wanted to wait until things calmed down. To be the time where we need to have something planned even if things don’t get better. Her maid Of honor is her sister and they are pretty close so I did reach out to the bride just to see if there is anything being talked about on her end, she said no and seemed Blatantly disappointed with the maid of honor in general. I’m not sure if this is something I can just take the reins on and take control of, but it is her sister so I don’t want to step on any toes. Any advice for what I should do next here?

Maybe you could just say that now would be a good time to start planning some things since you’re almost 2 months away. I went through the same thing with my friends wedding. I don’t think the maid of honor should be “in charge” of all this stuff but if it’s her sister, you think she’d want to be. Maybe create a group text with all of the bridesmaids and get some ideas together and let everyone decide who’s in charge of what😊

Coming from a bride, I’d say communicate the bridal squad what you are planning and if anyone has ideas, thoughts or suggestions you’re open to it. It’s crunch time anddddd I’m sure the bride needs support now more than before with COVID19. Clearly if no one else has initiated or communicated then nothing is in the works and waiting on that is only going to deprive the bride of what she deserves.

Since venues are up in the air with booking because of COVID19, my bridal shower is happening in my mother’s pretty back yard. My Sister in law is pretty creative and loves Pinterest just as much as I do and I’m confident it will be beautiful and intimate. If you all don’t have a house to have it at you could always rent an air BNB.
Hope this helps

I'd say absolutely get the ball rolling, but be super nice about it. Maybe you can be "bored at home" or "just had a brain wave" or something like that - so it's coming more from a place of enthusiasm than anything else.
I don't know where everything is supposed to be, but do keep in mind that there might still be restrictions. You can always use that as an in - "trying to be creative in case of issues".
Good luck!
