Bridesmaid Binder

Are you giving your BM this binder? Why would she need to know all that stuff?

eta:spelling

I wouldn't give all that information to your bridesmaid....she doesn't need to know your budget and how much you are spending on cake and flowers. Its none of her business. And honestly, I would seriously doubt that she really cares much about that information.

Well half of my bridesmaids are mothers or in their senior year in college so we all have to have to pencil EVERYTHING in.

You shouldn't be giving her a budget, she gives you hers. I don't think you need a binder, email is fantastic. There is a really long thread about this from a month or two ago, use the search.

ETA: What events?? I'm sure they already know the date of your wedding.

Wasn't this same thing posted not too long ago?

When i say budget I mean for the Dresses and shoes...

I remember it too Mrs. Gilboe.

They need to know your budget???

Email. Seriously. BMs do not need a binder full of info and there is a wealth of binder print outs for bride planning binders that can be found on google.

Get their dress budget, pencil in a date/dates to go look at dresses or they do it in their own time first - give a final deadline they need to have their dress by. Sorted.

I'm having deja vu about this exact subject.

This was posted a while ago and got a little crazy with the anti-binder responses! lol. But to answer your question, I do not think there are any specific templates out there. From what I've seen, most people just create their own.

How a bride chooses to deliver information to her bridal party is her prerogative.

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Here was the big controversial topic on this!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that a bridesmaid binder is overkill.

You found it @Janeen! It was pretty funny.

Yeah, that one escalated quickly. I was totally getting deja vu because the responses seemed exactly the same.

If you'd like a good template to start creating a binder for yourself - i found this was a good jumping off point for me: http://www.russellandhazel.com/PDF/WeddingTemplate.pdf

This will inevitably turn out as well as the last one did.

WOW i just join.. I didnt see the big deal because when I was a bridesmaid she gave me one LOL.... I already sent a emails and they said they didnt see it etc so when I asked what they thought about the binder; they were for it!....

I said it once on the original thread... and I'll say it again. I'd love a binder. I'm super Type A, but I'm in the minority.
