Re: How many of you have out-of-town BP party members?

My matron is in Fl and one of my BM is in NJ

The girls in NY are my maid of honor and 2 BM. We go together and look at stuff and then I email pics to the other 2.

When it comes to the actual dress they can send me their measurements or they can order it from a place near them and do it that way.

So far so good.

My MOH and BM are in California
Another BM is in Philli- I am not really expecting much from them as far as planning. I just want them up there with me on the big day!

My FMIL and FSIl will be moving to Canada so I am going to order my bridesmaid dresses earlier. After that I plan on sending the dress to her when it comes in.

Both my MOH's are out of state - Virginia and one of my BM's is in North Carolina. I am not sure how we are going to do this as far as ordering their dresses. They are wearing separates so hopefully they can pick their top online and then get their measurements for me. My BM from NC will be here this summer and my MOH's are my sisters so they should be here a few times a year.

One of my BM is from Middletown (NY) it is not out of state but it is a good 2 1/2 hour drive (or more with traffic) She wants to come to more - but I try to do things in the city so it is a little closer for her

Re: How many of you have out-of-town BP party members?

I have 4 BM's, and three are out of state. My MOH is in Nevada, and we email frequently. All of my BM's made it to my shower last month which meant sooo much to me. I let them pick their own dresses in red, and have seen all of them. They are similar and will look nice together. That was the easiest way for me to deal with the situation. As far as planning goes it has been mostly me and FI, not my BM's. My mom has also been helpful.

2 BM are in Saint Louis, 2 BM are in NJ and my MOH is here. I already took them dress shopping and got their measurements. They already have been talking about having two bachelorette parties and two showers. One here in NY and one in MO.

FH has 6 GM who live in NJ. I have 1 BM who also lives in NJ. Luckily it's only about an hour and a half so it's not that bad of a trip. I better not hear any complaining!!!

My entire bridal party are out of state: mostly Virginia, one Arizona, one D.C., N.C., they're everywhere.

I won't see any of them until the day of the wedding (Except MOH, I'll see her 2x before the wedding).

Talk about stressful planning!

Re: How many of you have out-of-town BP party members?

I have 3 out of town BM's that all live in Rochester. They really don't come to LI often, because I am usually traveling there every 6 months. I was thinking of using David's Bridal for their gowns, because there is one right near them and my other girls would use the one here. The order would then be placed at one main store to get the ink lot to match. So not sure yet, it is a tough call.

My sister (MOH) lives in San Francisco. One BM in Nashville, one in Baltimore, and one in Rhode Island. My cousin, also a BM is in Jersey, but just in Jersey. My other cousin is in Seaford and my last BM is in Northport.

Re: How many of you have out-of-town BP party members?

Most of the bridal party is out of state. I have 1 in FL, 1 moving to FL from VA, another in VA, and one in school in Buffalo. My MOH is here.

I looked for dresses with MOH but mostly searched online and sent the link to the others to see which one they liked best. The girls tried to find the dress at a local bridal store but couldn't find one. They called up my store and gave them their measurements.

They are all coming end of July (hopefully the dresses will be here) for shower and bach. party. I think some of them will take the dresses home with them or maybe will get them shipped directly to them.

Re: How many of you have out-of-town BP party members?

I have 6 girls in the bridal party. Four of them are from Florida. I know one of them s coming up for my shower and stuff, but I am not sure about the others. For the dresses, I am ordering them online. I made up packets for the girls with swatches, forms for measurements, pricing all the info and I told them when I want to order them. All they have to do is get measured and pay. I am taking care of everything else. I am hoping they will all be here for the rehearsel. I am doing it two days before the wedding in hopes they can make it. I am also taking care of booking a place for them to get hair and nails done when they arrive.

One of my bm's is from out of town. She found the same dress at a store near her so it made it easier than sending measurements to me. I don't think she'll be able to make the shower but she is going to try to come down for my bachelorette party.

My BM is in California.

She is flying in a week before my wedding (this Friday) for my Bachelorette party this weekend & she is staying the week of my wedding to help out.

She used a whole weeks vacation on me

Aww, Jenn! I bet you're worth it.

Most of my bridal party is out of state. Actually, I only have one BM who is local. Don't know yet how it's all going to work out. (Haven't gotten to the dresses stage yet!)
