Bride/maid of Honor Bachelorette Party

Nichole, on August 19, 2019 at 5:23 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 5
Hi!! My maid of honor has been so amazing so far at being there for me and helping me plan absolutely everything. My bridesmaids on the other hand, have come off as less than excited. My maid of honor and I have thrown out several ideas for bachelorette parties and almost every bridesmaid has an issue with something about one of them, even the cheaper/local ideas that we threw out. My maid of honor is to the point where she thinks she and I should just plan a trip to Vegas and whoever else wants to/is able can definitely join. For most of the bridesmaids, it is not even a money issue, it is weird excuses. For example, one girl is currently unemployed and we are planning the party NEXT April! Several months away. She is saying if she gets a job she won’t be able to take off. It’s understandable, but every time I’ve started a new job, the employer has worked around previously planned vacations. She currently does not even have any interviews scheduled. Has anyone done a vacation with just their maid of honor or what are everyone’s thoughts on this situation? We told the other girls if even staying all night somewhere local and just having a night out doesn’t work we don’t have to stay all night anywhere at all but can all just have a girls night. Thanks for your opinions!

    I would just plan something reasonable & whoever can make it, can go! I had 9 bridesmaids, only 6 were able to make it to my bachelorette. The other 3 couldn't afford to go for financial reasons (which is totally fine). It sounds like it would be harder to wrangle all your girls for an out of town trip, maybe plan an overnight staycation so the girls can choose to stay in the hotel room if they want to or go home if they want to?

    Just plan the bachelorette party you want. At the very least you MOH will be there. Normally I’d advocate the least expensive option, but if your BM’s are taking issue with a local girls’ night, then maybe it makes more sense not to go out of your way to accommodate them since they may not show up in any case.

    Plan for what YOU want- if someone can't make it then that's okay. One of my bridesmaids can't make it to our night out, but only my shower in the afternoon. It's the same weekend as her and her boyfriend's 5 year anniversary so I let it slide, I get it.

    Unfortunately, life happens and your BMs can't always make it to events. Try your best to be understanding and be a friend first, bride second Smiley smile
