I have tried to make everything easy as possible for my bridesmaids… i’m sure everyone has trouble with theirs. I’ve had trouble from sending them 30 dresses to pick from and either no on responding or no one liking them. No one responds in the group text even after I asked if everyone could to make things easier. no one is helping my MOH set up anything. Now I just found out it will only be my MOH attending my bridal shower. I’m almost to the point where i’m ready to drop everyone because it seems to be too much to even give a little effort

Omg that’s a nightmare we are only 4 weeks away. How you doing I feel so sad that this is happening to you, I heard about bridesmaids drama over the years with weddings, but I have seen it first hand even with my friends. I hope you still have an amazing day and the bridesmaids who are standing with you make it a great day for you. I have personally have relaxed a bit, I sent a group text to remind them about our rehearsal on Saturday to practice our dances into the hall. At the end of the text I said if you can’t make it, I will see you on the wedding day. Lol I won’t allow them to stress me. I Am going to enjoy my wedding day!

Whoa. One lives three hours away and she can't make it to your shower???
I'm calling BULLSHIT. I lived 3 hours away from most of my friends when I was in school, and I still made it to every shower. 3 hours is not too far away to make the drive, unless she has no where to spend the night and/or cannot afford a hotel room. (A 6 hour drive in one day IS a lot, but a 3 hour drive with a one night stay is not).
I'm so sorry for one reason or another they cannot make it. Is there any way your MOH can rally some other guests to sort of take over some duties at the shower, without it seeming like "the back-ups?"
I know if I attended a friend's shower and none of her BMs could make it I'd gladly assist with games or taking notes while she opens gifts, etc. - because the goal is to make the bride feel loved and not down that none of her friends (well, in this case, at least 2-3 of her BMs) make her feel as though she is not a priority.
