Bridesmaids don't know each other

I would go out for a dinner and cocktail night with all the BMs. Or you could all meet up during the day for lunch and coffee and some shopping together for the wedding. That way its casual enough that it wont feel too awkward.

Have a get together with all of the bridesmaids there. go out for lunch or drinks. have a little party. i mean yeah their going to meet for you bridal shower and bachelorette party but have a little get together before all that.

I've been in a wedding like that. I didn't know any of the other bridesmaids because the wedding was in another state. It didn't make the wedding any less fun. We met at the rehearsal dinner the night before and got to know each other a little at the rehearsal dinner. It was fine. I wouldn't stress about it too much. The bridesmaids are there for you, and I think it's better than bridesmaids who are fighting with the other bridesmaids or who are best buddies and ignore the bride. I wouldn't go to a lot of extra expense to try to get the bridesmaids together before the wedding. Good Luck!

Hello and Congrats!!!!!!!!! I agree with MJ Decorations the BM's are there for you. On the other hand if you would still like for them to meet and theY'RE all in the same town send a simple (free) evite and poll them to see if they'd like to meet perhaps a nice happy hour (inexpensive food and drinks if you guys drink) this can aslo be a chance for you guys to get together and talk about any last minute details prior to the rehearsal. In the long run they are there for you like MJ said I hope this helps and BEST WISHES!

How fun!!! have a little get together at your house with all the good stuff: wine, desserts, appetizers, great music, maybe even a girly movie to watch after all the chatting, which you might not even get to..........you could even have the girls sketch you their ideal bm gown, cake, or wedding dress for you!

i think it would be nice to give each girl a card formally asking them to be your bm and why each girl is special to you enough to be included and part of your special day.

......It is nice because hopefully there will be no fighting or cattiness.......determine who is your moh and who is in charge...so no ones toes get stepped on!

I never thought of the plus side of them not knowing each other would be that their would be no fighting!! That does make me feel a little better, thank you all for your ideas I would just love for them to all be comftorable around each other even though they are there for me.

I wouldn't worry about it. In most weddings I've been in I hadn't met the other bridesmaids till the shower or the bachelorette party or the rehearsal dinner or something like that. For my wedding most of the girls met the night before at the rehearsal and they all hit it off really well and we still had that sense of solidarity the day of the wedding. If they are all local though, hosting a get-together at your house or a happy hour as some has suggested could be fun. Just make sure to keep it cheap and fun and that it doesn't feel like another "requirement", since remember they already have to spend all that time and money on your shower, the BP, the dress, shoes, etc....

Dinner, movie, cocktails, shopping, all great ways to get to know each other, just make sure everyone is comfortable doing what ever it is you're planning on doing, and don't spring it on them that you guys are going BM dress shopping, it's a huge, unexpected surprise, especially if they are buying their own and some ladies may not have enough cash to pay for one that day..But I can totally understand if you want them to go with you to help pick out decorations or what ever else you need for the wedding..that is always fun!

I had the same thing with my wedding but they all came together when it came to me. I took them all out to the movies to see "Bride Wars" and we had a great time. A get together will make things run smoothly. Also my MOH was great! SHe kept them all in line and made them work together.

Most of my wedding party know each other so what I did I'm having a meeting at my house so that everyone can meet one another and talk about what I expect of them and give them dates of when we will be going out shopping for my wedding

I was BM at a wedding with 7 BMs. 5 of which we do not like each other. And I only knew 2 of the GMs. It is great that you want to get together. But it is definitely not necessary. There is going to be a lot of people at the wedding to mingle with.
