Bridal Shower Planning

Hi everyone! I am the MOH for my best friends wedding. The Bridal shower date is scheduled for July 11,2021. I have ideas on what I want to do and what I want to order. When should I start ordering and making decorations? I am ready to start now but I am not sure it it is still too early due to the lack of response from the other bridesmaids.. Some of the other bridesmaids are responding very sporadically and some aren’t at all. It makes me think I’m doing too much too early. But I really would like to have the basics all ordered now so I can store everything until the big day. This will allow us some wiggle room when it nears. And allow us more time to focus on decorations we plan to make.
Please any opinions are welcome. I feel like I am getting the run around from all the bridesmaids and it’s making the whole process much more difficult.

If you offered to host and they didn’t, you don’t need to wait for anyone else’s permission to start planning. If they are co-hosting, I would ask if you can go ahead and divide up the responsibilities because you’d like to start working on your portion. This is pretty far in advance for most people to want to start planning so I wouldn’t expect the same eagerness from the others, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get started.

I agree with Caytlyn – unless the bridesmaids have offered to co-host there is no need to wait around for them as it is not something they are involved with (and generally tend not to be).

If you want to do the shower solo, all the
work and pay every cent, you make plans on your own. But usually, some ladies in the BP are interested, and some are
not interested in being co hosts. And some other friend or family may volunteer to help out. If you want co-hostesses, you need to listen to what they say. You are not their supervisor or the one in charge. Showers are very much a secondary party to the wedding. A big and costly blowout takes much planning. Most showers take 4-6 weeks to plan, with invites sent out or people called 2-3 weeks in advance of the event. Take the other's request to hold off seriously. It likely means they want a nice but low cost shower. And may not want your purchases made at all. And some are sure they want to volunteer, and some ot. This year, they also want the most recent info from just before planning in May, a out vaccines and gatherings. So listen to them, back off, and do not make any advance purchases.
