I am having my LI shower and bach party the same weekend (Aug 15). Most of the BMs have to travel down for it.
the best men were planning FH's party for the same weekend, we just figured it would be good for us. I think they planned to go to Atlantic City. However, FH's sister's hubby (they are both in the bridal party) have kids and they are having trouble finding someone to take them that day/night. So FH's BIL doesn't know if he can go, since FH's sis will be down on LI for my shower/bach party.
My brother has to work (he has a crazy weekend work schedule and needs to get all the $$ he can before he goes back to school at the end of Aug). So this *****, but we understand.
FH's younger brother is only 15 so he obviously can't go out.
So, if FH's BIL can't find a sitter, it will be FH and his two best men. He's pretty bummed. I am telling him he will have fun anyway and I told FBIL to switch the weekend so at least FH's BIL could go, and FSIL will be home with the kids at least....
