Bridal Party Communication

How are you communicating with your bridal party? Through text, email, or did you set up a private Facebook group? I'm in the beginning stages of my bridal party and just wondering what would be easiest.

    I had a group text going for when we picked out dresses but I didn't really feel like I needed to talk to them as a group about anything else. I guess I used it when I was making sure everyone was fine with staying in an AirBnb the night before too.

    Some things I group text that I'm not looking for a reply/would be easier discussed among all, but if I'm looking for individual replies I just text them individually.

    I have a group chat with mine, my FH usually communicates with his individually. Basically just do whatever you would normally do to communicate with them.

    I text my MOH every day so if i have something to say I will drop it then. I see my sister in law weekly so she would get any updates at that time. My sister I message once every few weeks so she would get a consolidated message. To be honest I haven't had much need to contact them specifically for bridesmaid stuff, and I doubt it will increase in the future. We just do our normal convos and if they ask about the wedding I give them an update

    Facebook group for my BP. Everyone has different schedules but I don't bombard them. They are more or less updates on what we have already done with lots of smiley faces lol But if it's something touchy, I have personally reached out to them.

    I have a private Facebook group, so we can discuss ideas and stuff without blowing everyone's phones up with texts.

    I've group texted all of them for things that I want immediate responses, like when we were picking a date to go dress shopping for them.

    One of my bridesmaids is getting married in May and we all communicate through a group message thread on Facebook rather than an actual group page.

    We have a group text message between myself and the BM. I know they have emailed about the bridal shower and bachelorette party.

    I also set up a private Facebook group for the entire wedding party. So far I've only put the date and time of the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. All I'm hoping for that is they look at that instead of everyone texting me asking what time stuff is at!

    Usually a casual text or blended in with regular convo- I sent out one email to all 3 with blanket info about the dress and accessory suggestions, etc mostly so they could all have each other's contact info if they needed to communicate with each other. but anything else is just normal conversation sprinkled with wedding stuff when necessary. My BMs are all OOT and all they have to do was buy the dress they agreed on and show up on time for the wedding lol

    I just text or skype with them individually, the same as always. When I was picking out BM dresses I texted each one a picture of a couple I was looking at and asked what they thought. My Man of Honor has been texting me about a potential bachelor/bachelorette party, but other than that and getting the outfits and eventually telling them what time to show up there aren't really any wedding discussions that need to happen.

    We communicate using Facebook messenger about day to day things. We also use Asana because they are helping me with decorations and centerpieces.

    I made a FB group since my 3 ladies all live OOS and in different time zones from each other. It's actually been fun. I posted up some polls for them to reply to about hair and makeup, they are getting to know each other and it's been fun posting funny BM memes. I also made a photo album with pics of the venues, links to my caterer and photographer and even pics of the guys since none of them know each other. They've also shared dress and shoe ideas with each other on the group page since they aren't all friends (yet!) For individual/personal stuff I just text or call them.

    I made a private fb group for the whole wedding party, to have things like itinerary or whatnot easy to reference. We still talk to them individually like normal, and talk about wedding plans and such as they come up. Like to ask who wanted hair and makeup, I texted them all individually.

    For my bachelorette party, they had a group fb chat going, and added me after the party was over.

    It's not something you should stress over, just do whatever is natural and convenient for your group.

    I usually text but if I don't hear back I call them. I only have two but they are both really busy and hard to get in touch with.

    I do Facebook for a living, so I did set up a Facebook group, but I use it to give general news to anyone who might be interested, because it's more passive than blowing up everyone's spot every time something happens. Then they got together on a secret chat to plan my shower & bachelorette. My mom says it's hilarious (they added her for some reason). There isn't usually a ton for me to share personally, so I don't post in the group more than once a month. Last one just said, "I wanted to tell all of you that I love you!" (which I felt was necessary because I know they've been working hard on these parties, and I appreciate it)

    My BM's are 25, 23, and 20 (our daughters) and I use text because NONE of them are far from their phone!

    I dont bother them alot but when it came to picking their dresses and showing them shoes and whatnot Its just easier to send a text!
