What do I do about the BMs

What do I do about the BMs

who haven't ordered their dress yet! This week is the last week they can order it without getting a rush order fee added to the dress. I would hate for that to happen the dress is already a little over 2 and it would kill me to see them pay more. I have about 3/4 girls left to order and I've sent around the emails already do I do it again? I don't want to be an annoying bride, i just want them done!!

You can call them and remind them aboout the late fees, but they're ultimately stuck with the extra cost if they don't order the dresses on time.

I have reminded them at least 5x at this point I feel like I am going to be annoying by telling them again but I might just send around another reminder email that this is the last week!

BE ANNOYING! They need to get their dresses ordered. I would call each one and let them know the deal again. Then follow-up with an email.

After that you've done everything you can.

I know! I hate being that pest though but it is true they have to order them! I am only down 3 girls who didn't order!

I know it ***** to have to bug people- but I would start calling and make the biggest pest of myself- if they have to pay a late fee- my guess is that they are going to b*tch at you- thats usually what happens- so dont feel bad, you are saving them money by pestering them

I agree... be annoying! Send one more email or make one more phone call to each girl who hasn't ordered yet, and if they still wait... then oh well!

It S U C K s that you have to annoy them, but I would call all of them and tell them it has to be done by this week or the dress won't be ready ! I wouldn't even give them the option of ordering them late . tell them they HAVE to your wedding is less then 5 months away , what are they waiting for!!!

I would call, email, text do all of the above. It is not only about paying the extra money for the rush fee but most places wont order everyone's dress until all the BM's order and that will be unfair to your girl's that ordered on time.

I'm in the same boat! I'm 10/11/08.
Don't consider yourself an annoying bride. I made them (3) go last November! Theirs is in. Then in February 2 more went. Theirs hasn't coem in yet but anyday now. And last but not least, my 6th BM has not ordered hers yet! She is in the process of losing weight (45 lbs so far) and wants to wait until the very last minute to order BUT SHE BETTER GET her A$$ moving! I was just with her this past weekend and reminded her again! She said when she goes home (she lives in Fla) she is going to order and tell the salon that she will still be losing. I am starting to sweat!

YOU HAVE TO GET ON THEIR ASSSES!!!! Its the only way its going to get done! Make tons of phone calls and stalk them a little in a nice way until they go and order the dresses! Thats what I had to do and it worked...they might be frustrated for a second but they'll get over it....they all do!

I would just send out a friendly reminder that if they don't order they will have to pay and extra fee

Re: What do I do about the BMs

I sent around the email and I talked to one of them this morning. There are just 3 more left that have to order, one I talked too and the other 2 are FSILs :) who all read the email (I can check on aol) and no one replies... meanwhile FSIL wedding is saturday (long story we were plannnig ours she suddenly got engaged and than said she would wait till we were married to have her wedding...hence she didn't and she is getting married saturday)...anywho...i knew this would be the final week and i know her wedding is saturday and she has 100 things to think about aside from my wedding but that is why i gave them 2 months to order and now it is down to the last minute, i got my dress for her wedding when she asked, why can't people do the same.. I will be have to stalk this week if they don't do it, they incure the price, i can't kill myself over it!

Don't worry about being annoying, you are only trying to save them money! I would call and remind them for the last time, after that they can deal w/ the consequences of late fees.

You gave them fair warning...ain't your problem!
Just send put subject 'friendly reminder'
This is the last week you can order the dress with out paying an extra rush fee. To avoid that fee please order your gowns this week...Thank you!

Re: What do I do about the BMs

what if you go with them and schedule something so that they have to do it?? would that work?

Remind them. Thats all you can do. If they have to pay extra its their own problem.

Re: What do I do about the BMs

emails don't seem to be getting the job done.

pick up the phone and CALL them.

i'm sure they'd rather a phone call then getting stuck with paying the extra $$.
