What to put in bridesmaid binders?

Do they really need all your vendor numbers? I can't imagine needing to give my only bridal party enough info that it would necessitate a binder, but that's just me.

It's actually a folder haha

I'm following this.

I have no idea about this. I have a wedding binder for myself, but I don't even know what to put in it. I have a guest list in it at the moment, but everything else is an electronic record so far.

I did something similar but was more of a small bundle of cards. I included a letter on why I chose them/love them. If you really wanted to you could make an inspiration page of your pinterest wedding board so they have an idea of what look you are going for.

If you already have bridesmaid dresses picked out you could put a picture or if they are picking themselves, information on what they should look for.

Maybe your registry information in case people ask them?

A folder sounds better haha. Less like school, more like useful info.

I've never heard of a bridesmaid binder/folder! I have a binder for myself but I only keep vendor receipts and relevant paperwork in it. A lot of my vendors asked for a "day of" contact. I haven't decided who it would be yet, but I know it wouldn't be one of my bridesmaids. I think that's the only person I would prepare a folder for just in case they got a phone call and needed to handle something.

I texted all my BM's each other's phone numbers and told them what time they have to be there. They didn't need anything else.

For the love of God, please do NOT do this. What could they possibly need to know that needs to be in a binder or folder?

This seems like TMI to me lol. I would make one folder, to bring with you on the wedding day, so that anyone can access that info but as far as giving a copy to each BM... seems excessive and unnecessary. The only thing your BM will need is an email or other communication about timeline day-of, what to wear, where to be at what time, etc.

Ive seen a couple brides give the moh something like this if the moh is going to be the one to give the vendors their checks before the end of the night, but other than that I don't really see why people need all that information.

Why would a bridesmaid need your vendor information? This is a bit much. Sorry. Annakay summed it up perfectly.

I could see wanting the MOH to have this in case of emergency... but they are your bridesmaids not your slaves... christ

A binder seems unnecessary. I've just been communicating with my girls via email and wedding website. I might give them a timeline for the actual wedding weekend, but that's it.

WTH?

1. they don't need all of this information?

2. start a closed Facebook group or a group text to talk to them.

3. this seems excessive, and weird.

The only thing mine needed was the addresses of their hotels/AirBnB places, the rehearsal dinner restaurant, and the hair salon, and I shared it with them via email weeks before the wedding.

I don't think they would have liked carrying a folder with them all day long. They hated carrying their makeup around as it was, lol.

You need a DOC or you need to pay your bridesmaids.

I have a big fat wedding binder with hard copies of everything for myself like contracts and contact info, timelines, checklists, etc. I will probably bring it and let my MOH know where it is in case we need something out of it but I am not making anything for my bridesmaids exclusively for them as it's really not necessary.

The only thing I will be giving my bm will be a time line for the day of. This will just be saying getting ready at this place at that time then going to that place for pictures then it's wedding time.

Just no way. All they need to know is where to show up and when. You put your vendors in your phone so if your cake is missing, you hand someone the phone and say, "dial cake".

I can tell you that in almost 1500 weddings, I have never gotten a call from anyone besides the couple, even with planners on board (I think I've heard from four of them).
