So....had an interesting conversation with my MOH and a bridesmaid. They asked me to send them the shot list and timing for the day of, and I thought oh wow they want to help. Then said "oh we are just trying to figure out when we can check into our hotel room before we leave for photos, we are trying to have MOH boyfriend check in but if we all leave for photos at 3:15 I am not sure that will work"....it dawned on me they both thought all of the bridal party dates were joining for the wedding party photos pre-ceremony. IS THAT NORMAL? I said well as dates are not joining on the party bus, I think it should be fine. Am I missing something......do dates normally tag along to all the different photo locations and just sit in the background? Also keep in mind the hotel is 1 mile from our venue and accessible by a tram, uber or walking.
I am not saying they are causing any chaos, but I am curious if I am just flat out wrong in not including an extra 16 people on our party bus.
