Party troubles

CourtneyBrittain, on June 10, 2019 at 6:23 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 9
My matron and maid of honor (who happen to be my sisters) are throwing my lingerie/bachelorette party. One of my other bridesmaids have been asking about dates so they can plan when to come in town, but my MOHs were waiting in a date to be set for the bridal shower. I’m starting to stress out because the bridesmaid is hounding me about flights saying she needs the dates and that flights get more expensive the longer you wait, which I get but it’s out of my hands!
She told me I need to just plan it or get the dates from the MOHs but it’s not that simple nor is that polite. I wasn’t stressed until she starting texting me and now I think I’ve upset her. I told her we are waiting on the shower date to be solidified, which should be this week, and then planning a date from there. She hasn’t answered me which isn’t like her.

Idk what else I can do! The wedding is August 8, which is 58 days away. We got engaged two months ago and the first month we didn’t even plan anything because we were too busy with work and our dance season.
Any advice??

    I would make sure she understands it isn’t necessary for her to fly out for the shower. Honestly, I get her concern. Depending on the airports she’s flying from/to, flights can be incredibly expensive when you’re only a month out.

    I mean I get it too but I can’t do anything about it. I have asked my mom, who is helping to set the bridal shower date, if it’s solidified and she said it would be by the end of the week. I’ve asked my MOHs to work on dates but we have to wait until the shower is planned. At this rate there will only be a couple of weekends left but oh well. I can’t do anything

    Give her number to those who are planning. They can sort it out from there. You can't please everyone. I do understand her frustration and at least she's trying to get there, but it's up to your bridal party to discuss. :-)

    I would let her k ow that if she can’t make it you completely understand. Since the wedding date is so soon you understand if she can only make it to the wedding but you will let her know the dates ASAP.

    I'd say the next time she asks you, find a way to tell her she needs to ask them. You aren't hosting your own parties, and therefore are not the person she should be asking to begin with even

    Next time she asks refer her to your sisters and let them work it out. She may feel at ease knowing plans from them directly as opposed to you who's not planning anything.

    Are you requiring her to go to all events?

    No, all of my bridesmaids know that while I'd like them to come, I totally get they can't come to everything! My only "required" thing is the wedding lol
