What should I do?

It is now September and I haven't been able to get my BM (there's only 2, plus 1 Jr.) together to try on the dresses and order them.

Someone suggested that I allow them to go individually, but I want them to go together to make sure they like them. I also want them to order the dresses at the same time so that they can come in at the same time.

I know the wedding is a little over 7 months away, but these dresses are going to take 12 weeks to come in after they are ordered and after hearing horror stories about dresses coming in late, I want to make sure they have plenty of time to come in and get altered.

EDIT: Please note that they have seen pictures of the dress and said they like them.

What do you think I should do?

Could you possibly email them the dress and get opinions? Or do you see them on weekends where you can show it to them? Maybe once they see the dress they can tell you they like it, then you can go with them individually to tryon and order. Most bridal salons will not send the order in until all your girls have ordered. GOOD luck! Let me know how it turns out

Why is it so hard to get them all together? I would see when everyone is available and make them go.

This is what I did... we picked a date to go 'looking' and one couldn't make it, who was really going anyway. I had ideas that they knew about before hand. We went found something we liked, and then we all went together afterwards to purchase it.

If you can't go all together, pick something you like and send it to them. Then go with whoever can make it one day, have them try it on, then go another day with the rest and have them try it on. Hopefully they like the first dress and this won't keep happening and then you should be all set.

They can just go individually. Maybe, e-mail them a picture of the dress.

I went with one of my bms. We picked out a dress and she got measured. We're waiting for the other bm to do the same. As mentioned in the previous post, the store will not order the dresses until they have information for everyone.

I cann't get them together because my MOH and Jr. BM live in jersey, not near a train and she doesn't drive so she would have to get her hubby to drive to the city. The other BM lives with us but she is always with her bf on the weekends so I have to make an appointment weeks beforehand it seems. (she travels alot on the weekends.)

So there has been some difficulty.
