Hmm...it seemed like there were more girls than that who were interested in being 'bridal planners' I know I offered to help and Mazz actually made some calls...I know you aren't trying to but that post seems a bit exclusive...especially when others have offered..I know a lot of the older girls had expressed an interest too...lets try to keep it open to all of us, no?

How many 'planners' do we need? Seems like if we keep adding to this list we will end up with too many cheifs and not enough indians. Does it really matter who 'plans' it if we all go and have fun?

I am pretty sure she said if anyone else wants to help to FM - we are not trying to be exclusive or cause drama... we are just trying to do something nice for all of us so that we can continue to have fun with one another while we help each other through the wedding planning process

Re: 2009 Bridal Shower Planners

I agree with Lauren... I was actually the one to say lets get a move on and pretty much decided on the place for us (although michelle came up with it) Nothing semeed to be getting done otherwise...

I dont think people should be singled out like that... Michelle came up with the place so she should be head girl in charge of all those details. Then someone should be in charge of doing the guestlist/choosing who gets who as a secret santa type deal....

Other than those 2 positions, I dont think there is any need for other people. It seemed like you disregarded everyone else that put in their 2 cents on that thread and that's not really fair.

well I wrote the post to let everyone knwo that they are def welcome to help plan! it wasnt to tell people that WE are the only ones planning this... wehave had ALOT of girls help and express interest and its hard for us to keep track so it was a post to let everyone know that if they want to help let us know!

Its great to have project managers in charge of different tasks and have people help them with the planning. Its like having committees and they will be the chairs. Please let us know who will be the chair and all people who will be helping.

You should deinitely delegate certain tasks and have a list of the activities to be accomplished.

I am willing to help anyone and everyone just let me know what assistance I can provide.

If you cant tell I am a project manager in real life.

a lot of people are helping and all will be included as evite will say all are welcome to plan whatever phase is necesary. Logistically i think too many persons going to place or collecting money could be a prob. i work a block from davenport and am willing to foot the deposit for now so as far as that goes i believe one person is the best but DIY projects and any other ideas are welcome!!! this is OUR SHOWER!!!!!!!! all '09 brides

I would post the different committees and what would be required or need asssitance with then everyone who would like to help would then express their intrest and then go on from there.

Re: 2009 Bridal Shower Planners

no one person id planning this...we are posting polls and allowing EVERYONE to be a part of palnning it just gets to complicated sometimes that why I suggested to just FM us

Re: 2009 Bridal Shower Planners

Honestly i am looking soooo forward to the shower and can handle booking as I am right there- i did not book sooner since we needed real head count and I work there and close to Mineola weekdays and not weekends. If ok i will book and give deposit and communicate via a post tonight who said yes as of now

other stuff for the shower should and will be shared by all

Is this really a big deal? We can all be involved but I agree that there should only be a few people in charge. Who cares who organizes it? We are all going to go and have fun.

Re: 2009 Bridal Shower Planners

We should all think of this as our shower and be open to everyones help and ideas (given the majority) since we cant make everyone happy.

Thanks michelle for laying out the money for the deposit. Now that the location is decided what different committees should there be?

Re: 2009 Bridal Shower Planners

I really hope everyone is excited about this and wants to have fun... it is hard to please everyone, but this should be a fun and exciting get together, not a reason to get upset... since I was the one who started the idea on Thursday, I hope it seems appropriate for me to a be a part of the planning... as far as what I am doing, I am in charge of the games part of the day... I have already started accumulating fun trivia about the 09ers so that we can play a trivia like game... I also thought of possibly seeing if our FHs would fill out a quick email survey, so we can play that game as well... but I am open to any suggestions or anyone who wants to help me out - I don't need to be singled out... but I would like to be a part of the planning

Committees:

DIY projects
Activities/Games
Decorations
Favors?

Anything else missing?

After the shower - I think it would be great to have a photo montage of the event, anyone good with photoshop?

I dont care who organizes it, I agree it should be like 2 people though... and I said this in an earlier post that probably got lost in the shuffle....

i can see though how it could be regarded as a lil 'presumptuous' for the planners to say 'well, these are the people that seem to be planning it' ... I was on that thread as were others, but we were never mentioned
