Bridesmaid meet & greet!

Rosie, on February 6, 2019 at 9:36 AM Posted in Planning 0 9
I'm getting my bridesmaids together in 2 weeks for a little get together. They all know each other but they wanted me to get them in a room. What should I plan to go over with them? My wedding is in Sept so it's still pretty early. I already sent them info about their dresses and I'm planning to cook them brunch. Thoughts?

    I would just have some girls time. If they brought something up to me, I'd answer and we could talk about it. Some bridesmaids want to hear about the planning and help, some just want to get their dress and show up. I wouldn't spend all day talking about the details of your wedding. I did a girls lunch for everyone to meet officially and we just talked about whatever, not really anything wedding related.

    I am doing something similar but with the entire wedding party. Most people there know at least someone from the party, but no one knows everyone. We are just doing it at our house, and will have beer/wine & some snacks for everyone. We don't want anyone to have to spend anything on the day - the wedding is already costing some people a bit.

    I'm sure some of the talk will be a bit wedding related, but we are doing it for fun, and hope that everyone enjoys the night.

    Just day of details! When they need to be there, what they need to bring, rehearsal & dinner details, etc.

    Hey Rosie!! This brunch get together sounds like so much fun! I agree with some of the previous ideas. Discussing the info you sent them, wedding plans, as well as their attire, should be a good start. If they have any questions then you can discuss what they bring up! You can also spend the time catching up on general things and not just wedding stuff. This could also be a good time to discuss bachelorette party ideas if you're planning on having one!

    At this point, nothing. Just sounds like a fun
    opportunity to relax and hang out with your girls— eat drink and be merry. They may want to talk about shower or bachelorette ideas, you may want to talk about if they want to
    get hair and make up done , and they may just want to chat general wedding stuff. But, sounds like this should be more of a fun hang than a business hang!

    i know my girls had some
    questions for me (that I didn’t address because I didn’t care about) but could be a good opportunity to workshop those ideas — they were wondering if they should have uniform accessories (not matching but like, “should we all wear earring and no necklace? Should we all wear necklace? Is it weird if only I want necklace ?” And they chatted about hairdo ideas. I let them choose all stuff but that may be the type of thing their down to chat and brainstorm about ! Smiley smile

    For what it’s worth, it’s totally fine if all this stuff is still discussion/workshop/brainstorm mode! Definitely don’t feel like you need to be nailing down a day of timeline with them at this point !! February before my August wedding the most sotrted of my day of details were “it’ll be sometime in the afternoon on this date”— so don’t feel any pressure with this hang! Just enjoy spending time with your girls !

    I agree with girls time! And discussing little things like jewelry and shoes suggestions. Hair ideas, maybe create a pinterest where they could share ideas all together. Watch Bridesmaids lol..just have some fun Smiley smile
