Bridal Party Meet Up?

Have a small get together at your home? Or go to a local bar for a quick drink, or two.

eta: if you really don't feel like doing this, tell the GM's you have no time to organize this. If they want to meet the BMs that badly, give them their info and tell them to have at it.

I think rehearsal dinner meeting is fine - its not about them its about you two! Why is he wanting them to meet up first? Scouting out for potential girlfriends? lol

ETA: double post

It's not necessary. They can meet each other at the rehearsal.

Not necessary, and with my WP spread across the country, not possible!

Thats what im saying these guys are like married or in relationships i dont get what the deal is. It isnt a sweet sixteen lol it just seems like they want to check out who the girls are.

My friend had a BP meet and greet for her wedding last year. It was fun to meet the other people in the BP (BM as well as GM) before the rehearsal/wedding!

@gymrat thats a good idea. if FH keeps badgering me about it ill tell him to do it. He will probably get overwhelmed with wanting to track everyone down and just give up anyway lol

Sorry, but that's just weird.

Not gonna lie, I don't want my bridal party around each other any longer than possible. FH's friends are all kind of stuck up, and my friends are a lot more liberal, and FH and I agreed having them together for any longer than necessary just equals recipe for disaster.

You don't need to do meet ups. They're adults, they'll survive.

Informal barhoping? Pizza at your place?

Not necessary but if they are really that concerned send a group text to the whole bridal party so they have each other's numbers and then they can organize something themselves if they so choose

Just have a party at your house. It doesn't have to be anything formal. Order pizza and just have everyone over to hang out.

If they're all local, maybe you could have your FH set something up since it's his groomsmen who want this meet up so badly. But let them know that if your bridesmaids show up, they show up and that you're not putting them under any obligation to make them come. Especially since it was their idea and you weren't planning to do this in the first place.

If everyone is local, it could be fun to arrange an informal meet up at a local bar or restaurant
