I need help!!! (repost from 05 board) Should I take my BMs to lunch??

Everyone has confirmed. I am going on Saturday to order BM dresses with:

my mom
my sister
my step-sister
my other step-sister (she doesnt talk to my mom because she hates her father - long story)
my 2 best friends that live 8 hours away and I havent seen in over a year
my SIL
my future niece


Most people that arent already related are meeting for the first time too!



If you see me in the front page of the news on Sunday, you know why!!!!



I am sure my FSIL, niece, and mom will leave right after but my question is, should I take the rest of the girls out to lunch/early dinner or something????Since we will all be together for the first time. This is all the girls except one! (she lives 8 hours away and couldnt make it)????

I think I would set up for the girls to eat but I don't think I would pay for it. Just all of us chipping in for our meal.

I also have 11 girls so I might just sound cheap.

I was wondering the same thing..But i have 9 girls and taking everyone out to eat plus drinks is going to cost a lot, and we just dont have the money.
I was thinking of having a little get together at my apartment about 2 weeks before with food and wine and stuff..just so we can get together...and it can be a little thank you for them... they have done so much! Especially my maid of honor!
