Best way to communicate to BM

I'm in a Facebook group chat for a wedding in which I'll be a BM. It's convenient since it's a large wedding party (12 BM + MOH) and many of us live in different states and otherwise don't know one another. Not necessary for all though. Depends on how involved you want your BP to be with wedding stuff. I don't think I'll do this for mine since it's only 3 girls and I'm not asking them to do much besides order a dress and show up!

I had a group text for whenever I had to ask them about dresses and let them know plans for the night before (we stayed together at an airbnb).

I use Facebook group chat/msg.

I like the conversation look of it as opposed to a FB group or emailing. I thought about texting as well (since that's also in conversation format), but I like the option of typing on my computer, so I'm not limited to just my phone.

We mainly just use it (so far) for dresses (they are picking their own)

I have a fb chat. You can shut the notifications off if you want and check it when you want. If it's anything I need NOW (which doesn't happen), I just text them. My girls are getting to know each other and are able to be more comfortable with each other instead of oh here is my party, we are in this cabin, spent 48 hrs together, and still know nothing about each other. Lol.. it's fun and I love talking to my girls more regular.

I did a group chat with all the BMs, and I know they emailed each other about the bridal shower and bachelorette party.

I also made a secret Facebook group for the entire wedding party, and used that to communicate about the rehearsal and dinner. I also posted a timeline on there for stuff they needed to know. That worked out pretty well.

Thanks all! I'm glad to get everyone's input! Definitely helped! I think I'm going to do a FB message for now and make sure that works for everyone. Happy planning!

I use FB group message.

I started a secret Facebook group upon the suggestions of my BMs. But I normally communicate with them through group text.

I've just sent out group texts if I need to tell or ask all of them something. But, like one of them is doing the bachelor/bachelorette party stuff... so she send me private texts on that. Another bridesmaid is the flower girls mom, so she texts me privately about that. It's really whatever works & is easiest for you & your bridesmaids

I emailed the group when I absolutely needed to share info with the whole group or start a group conversation. Most of the time, though, I was communicating with each BM individually using whatever method I normally used to communicate with them.

We group text but my BMs are really close friends and cousin so i talk to them almost every day anyway lol

I made a secret facebook group for the bridal party. That way its easier to plan when to look for dresses together or to get together for DIY projects. Group messages can get irritating really quick. A lot of them are on facebook a good amount anyway. So its easier to check notifications on than checking an email personally

I have a group chat using the Group Me app. It's a way to share conversation not only about the wedding but it allows BMs that don't know each other to see everyone's personality shine through a little. That way they will be more comfortable around each other and it not be so awkward.

I just text them individually when I need to communicate something. It doesn't happen very often. Maybe half a dozen times total:

-ask for their input on potential bridesmaids dresses

-final decision on bridesmaids dresses

-ask if they wanted to get nails done the evening before

-tell them what time to be at the venue for hair and makeup

-ask if they wanted to do brunch before heading to the venue

I set up a secret FB group. My BP consists of my 16 year old daughter and my two cousins. We mainly talk about how much champagne we're going to drink followed by a lot of "moooommmmmm you're so embarrassing" from my daughter. Lol. They post pics of when their dresses arrived and when they found jewelry and shoes.

I have a group (set on secret/members see it only...to avoid nosey people) and a group chat within the group. It really helps because I can post pictures on the group page for hotels or whatnot and chat in the group for opinions and general conversation/questions about the wedding. I don't hop on there every single day, but any time I have an update or find something I'd like opinions on, I post it. My BMs love it as they can reach me any time and everyone stays on the same page.

For an example of some of the stuff I post as opposed to group chat about, I posted my colors for the dresses with color swatches to reference from. I'm also DIYing paper bouquets, so I post pictures of the bouquets/bouteniers/corsages so they can see what they'll be carrying.

I only post so often, but I love having something to reference my girls to.

I prefer FB messenger. Last time I was a bridesmaid they did a group text and I had to ask to be removed. Some people would send messages at all sorts of hours about random stuff that I did not care about.

I have a what's app group set up!

I have a secret FB group and a group text. The secret FB group is really for me to post pictures of stuff that I've completed (like invitations) if they want to see. That way I don't bombard them with texts and instead they can just check out Facebook whenever they have time.

Email sucks. Individual text messages are the best. People ignore group texts.
