Coordinating BM's...

I was planning on taking 'my girls' and mom to bridal reflections next saturday so I could finally decide on which dress to order. Only 2 of 4 girls can go that day. I also wanted to start looking at BM dresses.
It looks like I have to change the appointment to a later date. I'm so bummed.
I also was thinking about ADDING another girl. Am I crazy? Will this make everything even HARDER??

Don't ask me Melissa.. I have 9 BM's! I think we have an army, not a bridal party! I haven't encountered any problems yet.. sure scheduling appt's might be a little hard (trying to nail down one day for all!) but it's worth it, cause I love them all!

I sincerely believe that you may never get all of your BMs together. I wouldn't postpone the date and chance your dress not coming in on time or anything like that. You have a timeline to stick to and you don't want to hold up looking at BM dresses bc of everyone's schedules. It's good to take whoever can go but you gotta do what you gotta get done. It may be ok to add another girl cause then there's another chance that one of them will be able to make something you need them for. I know it's tough but you can't make yourself crazy over this! JMO.

So I may just go next saturday anyway with my mom, cousin, and FSIL. I'll show them my dresses and maybe we'll browse the BM dresses. I'll be missing my MOH and other FSIL though. :(
I'm still debating on asking one of my friends too. Then we'll be lopsidded and FH will have to pick another 'guy'. I think I really want to ask her though. I'm so confused!

Yes, the more in the party the harder to get them all together. That is how I feel. I have 4 girls and I don't know when I'm going to have a moment to get these girls together to look for a BM's dress.

Re: Coordinating BM's...

Personally I don;t plan on going shopping with all of my BM anyway...maybe me MOH and 1 or 2 other BM and thats it.

Re: Coordinating BM's...

Would I be a TERRIBLE bride for going with my mom and 2 BM's but NOT my MOH???

Re: Coordinating BM's...

i would definitely try to have the moh there over the other bms.

i only have 4 ladies in my party and i'm a bit nervous about getting them all together, especially since my moh lives in PA.

Re: Coordinating BM's...

With everyone's schedules, it is hard to come to common ground...When I went looking for my dress & BM dresses, I took my mom & MOH...Then when we decided to order the dresses my MOH was not able to be there, so we went without her...I scheduled to bring her back the next day...No hurt feelings anywhere...

Everyone understands that it is hard especially with that many BM's...I only have 5!
