Bridal Party Communication

I communicate with them about wedding stuff the same way I communicate about other stuff, and do it individually. Because they're my friends, not my staff.

The only thing we really needed to communicate was a date for dress picking/shopping, I attempted a group text at first and that was just a disaster lol so I just talked to them all individually to pick a date that worked for everyone. Other than that I haven't had to really talk to them all about anything wedding related besides if they wanted their hair and makeup done the day of the wedding and for that I just asked them whenever the next time I talked to them individually was.

I have six and I usually just send a group text unless its regarding something sensitive like money/budgets, in that case I text each girl individually. I have only needed to reach out to them all at once to talk about dress options and to choose a day to go shopping.

My MOH has a Facebook group for all of them for *secret* planning opportunities like the Shower and Bachelorette. She says its actually been really helpful.

I tried via texting and only a couple people would contribute to the conversation but I knew everyone was seeing the texts. Since that didn't work I went to a Facebook group message because then i could see if they read it or not. It sucked I had to do it that way but that's what worked for me!

I just text or call them individually. A little more work on my end but I honestly don't mind and I think it's easier for them. I personally hate group text messages.

I'm in the early stages and sent an intro email so people had each other's email addresses. I included a brief, how I knew each of them, and a few updates on the wedding like tentative date and venue but I mostly communicate via text individually. Might change as I get more into the planning i.e. ordering dresses.

@Flighty I'm nothing thinking of them as "my staff" or "glitter bitches" or anything like that. I was just wondering so that we can communicate about dresses and any ideas they have especially since my MOH's (2) haven't met my other 3 bridesmaids.

@catlady I know that the majority of my BP uses Facebook which is why I suggested and I also know most people hate group texts. Email seems like it could be a good way, too. I'll ask them to see what they think.

Email! There isn't a ton of communicating you need to do, and when you do send something out like dress ordering info or day-of timelines you'll want your bridesmaids to be able to easily find and reference the info, so I think email is best!

One of my bridesmaids suggested using a Facebook group instead, bc other brides use it. But honestly I don't have anything to share lol! They have their dresses they picked out, the date, i mean what else do they need to know!? Haha I must be missing something here...

We used a Pinterest board to share ideas for dresses, but when it came time to choose dresses I just created a group text. I use it very sparingly and mostly share things individually with them when it comes up.

I didn't do a whole lot of communicating with my bridal party but we set up a private Facebook group and that worked really well.

We all have a group text going on. One of my BM started a group text without me for the shower and bachelorette party

I actually invented an app that sends a glitter bomb to their house if they don't respond to messages within the time limit I set.

;-)

(Just postin' this for a laugh, FYI. When the time comes, it'll be 1-on-1 communication for me!)

We have a bridesmaid group on Facebook we also use GroupMe, it's an app. We are all close friends so we were already using these to communicate anyways

I don't often need to communicate with the whole group at once. But for things like dress info, and going forward any details needed for the wedding weekend I started a group email chain.

I have a group message on fb, and a private group on Facebook as well. That way we all can share ideas,and updates on things and everyone can be in the loop. I won't do it individually because then I'll be repeating myself 4 times.

I text them individually unless it's general info about dates and times. I made sure I got permission for group texts and I don't send many. I refuse to overload them

I introduced mine (2 people) through FB messenger because they didn't know each other. After that, I just spoke to them individually because a group chat wasn't necessary. I don't know how many you're planning on having, but keep size in mind when setting it up else you'll be burdened with figuring out when to do group talks and side talks.

We text and call and see each other quite often. I'd say the most is through text because it's usually just quick questions or info.

I text/call them individually, and I emailed them individually with dress information.
