Bride planning bachelorette party?

My sister definitely asked me questions about what i wanted to do for mine. i didn't help plan the party, but i did help her with some logistics (party was in NY, and my sister does not live there, though most of the guests did). be grateful that your sister is putting in so much effort; many people don't even get a bachelorette.

I can imagine this is stressful. She probably just wants to make sure it's gonna be something you would like. If I were you just tell her to run with it. Or maybe just give a little input about what you would like and tell her to run with from there and explain that you are already stressed enough planning a wedding.

My bridesmaid was overloading me with questions too so I asked my sister (MOH, but not planning because I live near BM who is also FSIL) to help because I didn't want to be planning all the details and picking where to go eat. She happily took over. Just talk to her and say you don't want to make decisions - she (hopefully) knows what you like and what you don't like and just plan it and people will follow and have fun!

ETA: I did help in planning the location and one night's big activity. The rest is just food and how to keep us busy during the day. Someone else can plan that and I just want to be along for the ride.

Its normal for the hosts to get minimal input from the bride. she just wants to make sure she is planning things you want to do. If you really dont care just tell her that its up to her and you trust her decision making .

ETA: My MOHs asked if i would mind doing a destination bach party or how far in advance I wanted to have it. I didnt care either way and told them they can decide.

I told my BM a date range and told them to go crazy. Unless I have a very strong opinion on a matter, I tell them that they can decide.

My sister is also my MOH, although I don't really mind answering her questions about the bachelorette party. I'm a tad bit of a control freak, so giving full control to my bridal party was hard enough. Do remember, she's your sister and she loves you so much! She just wants you to have the best party she could ever throw. The next time she asks you, just tell her that you'd like her to ask the other BM's for their opinions and to surprise you.

I understand. My MOH asks me a lot of questions too. I think she just genuinely wants to make sure that I have a good time. Just nicely tell her you're fully confident in her and her decision making.

I planned mine, my MOH hasn't done a thing for me and my wedding planning. Take whatever help you can get and be happy if they are willing to plan things for you and get your input.

Give her a general vibe (bar hopping, spa day, nice dinner, beach day, etc.), a rough guest list, and an idea of location!! That should give her a good idea what you were thinking and then she can take it from there!

You can tell her how you feel. Give her some ideas for what you would like to do in general then you can tell her that you have been researching a lot for the wedding and you're feeling a little over planning. You could also tell her you would like to be surprised.

In all honesty, she just might not be good at planning and need the help.

Being a MOH can be ALOT of work, especially when your trying to keep the bride happy and plan a party she will never forget!

If any brides have MOH's who may be overwhelmed feel free to contact us and we are happy to help make sure you ALL have the best time and are as stress free as possible

Congrats to all the future brides!
