1st wedding party meeting

View Quoted Comment Then it doesn’t seem like they’re anything wrong with that. I would just avoid calling it a meeting. It just seems like a chore. Instead, have some snacks and maybe a glass of wine and hang out with friends for a bit.

We don't have a wedding party, but we're having a very small DW where everyone hasn't met yet, so we're just having a casual BBQ at our house about a month before. We'll grill, have a bonfire, play lawn games.... Just a low-key way for people to get to know who they'll be spending the week with.

View Quoted Comment I wouldn’t call it a meeting then. I would just host a BBQ or something for everyone to come and hang out. In my head, meetings are no fun and I wouldn’t want to go. Meeting lends itself to thinking “she is going to tell me what I need to do from now til the wedding.”

I'm getting together with my maid of honor and bridesmaids at the end of the month. (Getting married in September) Having some wine. Talking about things like hair stylists and schedules. Basically a girls night in to talk wedding stuff

I introduced everyone via group chat. I picked a weekend back in October to host a brunch at my house then go dress shopping for anyone who was around but it wasn't required or anything like that. 3/5 of my girls came and we had a blast, went to a winery after and really made a day of it after we got their dresses. Beyond that, none of them have seen each other since and they won't meet in person until my shower in June.
