Are Your Bridemaids Retarded Like Mine?

Hi ThongLori,

Thanks for your reply . . . but my BMs ARE retarded. No need to feel sorry for them.

When I asked my girls to participate in my wedding over a year ago, I very politely outlined all responsibilities that are involved with being a BM. I also let them know that I would understand if they were unable to participate.

Sure, there are a lot of repsonsibilities for a BM....but what about me??

I need to know little things like:

Are you interested in a makeup person?
When will you get to town?
Will you make the rehearsal dinner?

E-mail is a WONDERFUL thing. I told them at the beginning of my planning process that e-mail would be the primary method of communication. When I e-mail them . . . I even say, 'TYPE Y or N' because it's faster than typing out YES or NO.

Yes . . . it P I S S E S me off when I can't even get a simple response. I mean, I would even appreciate a 'I'm not sure!'.

Sorry if I'm rambling. Pardon my vent. I just want a little consideration from these ladies. If I knew then what I know now, I probably would have had a smaller BP.

PS- I do intend to take the advice of my lovely LIW sisterhood and hit em with an e-mail on or around 5/31.

Kick them in the shins

Or tell them you are literally going to put a fire under their @$$e$

joking aside, send them an email at the end of the week explaining you understand they may be busy as you are too, but this is very important and it needs to be done because a lot of other things are going to be coming up and this is one of the most important things that needs to be done. If they havent done so already then they need to be prepared that they will walk down the aisle naked holding flowers.

Chippa. . . .You are crazy!

I will be copying and pasting what you have posted. Thanks so much.

I'll be sure to give you the proper credit!
