Email to bridesmaids

Not bridezilla at all, unless you start to get into the "you are there to serve me and do everything that I tell you before I ask because I also expect you to become a mind reader in the next two days" territory.

I sent out several emails with details of dresses, shoes, Jewelry, etc. I wouldnt say this is rude as long as you have a phone or in person conversation about the details of the email. We have had a lot of miscommunication with our wedding party, so make sure you follow up with them! Good luck!

Welcome to WW, Stephanie! My bridesmaids didn't know each other, either, and one is out of state, so I put together a newsletter for them. In the first one, I wrote a little about each of them, and I've sent a few more after to update them on the dresses (they changed), ask their opinions about shoes/jewelry, etc. I've attached a picture below. I made it in Microsoft Publisher, but Word also has templates you can use to put them together.

Some brides have also put together private Facebook groups for the bridesmaids, so they can plan things and talk to each other that way.

I hope you'll stick around the forums and update your avatar so we can remember you and help you more in the future! Here's how to do that and more: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/new-to-the-weddingwire-forums-please-read-before-you-post/b433c40c1a62b96a.html

Why would it be mean? I always email my bridesmaids. its easier that sending 4 different text messages with email attachments.

...not a bridezilla at all....

I created a group on Facebook because all my bridesmaids don't know each other. We posted dresses in there...ideas, wedding jokes, shoes, scheduled meetings, etc. It's been a great way to contact everyone at the same time and have some fun with it as well.

I have sent out 4 general emails to my BP. That way they are all on the same page regarding the dress, what kind of shoes, make up & hair appointment times etc. Plus i was able to give them all a heads up months ago regarding where & when things would take place. AND I gave them all each other's information so they can contact each other if need be. Not a bridzilla thing at all.

That's great, this a refreshing, because I didnt' want them to think of me that way. Does anyone have any templates that used for their newsletters or previous emails they sent, to keep up with things.

Also, Do you all know of ways I can tell them not to discuss ideas to people that are not in the wedding party. I don't want to be mean, but people have told me that some things I say may be taken the wrong way.

I would make it light and funny,

maybe make the subject line hush hush Bridesmaid info volume 1

Start with something like;

Hello to my favorite girls I'm so happy that you all agreed to be in my wedding party, I just wanted to send out an email now and then so everyone knows whats going on and can get ot know one another and how to contact one another.

so and so is my MOH her phone # is her emai lis ____

etc etc

So far we are thinking of having a ___person ish wedding probably to be held in ___ city and our tentative date for this would be.

We are considering a ___ theme so if you have any great ideas send me pics.

I'll keep you posted on when Im dress shopping incase you want to come.

love you all lots

your crazy bridezilla friend Steph

@Stephanie, do you have Microsoft Publisher? That's the easiest way, they already have newsletter templates on there to choose from. Microsoft Word is much the same way, when you start a new document, you can choose a template to use.

I send mine every 2-3 months. Each time, I include contact information for each of the girls and my mother, in case they all need to chat, etc. about anything wedding related. Otherwise, I give them links to dress/jewelry options, update them on dates to remember (like the rehearsal), and just give them quick updates on wedding things.

I created a group on FB as well. I think its a great idea. Your not being mean for sending an email especially if your BMs are in different cities or different places. I think its a great way to communicate with still info to contact you if they have any futher questions. I found it very helpful and so did my BMs.

I think I'm having a picture battle lolol

Not at all, i send emails to my BM's in a colorful font and i always end it with Love you Smooches

I email my sisters all the time, and my one bridesmaid I sent an e-mail to because she is in another state. My FSIL's MOH sends all 8 of us (YES 8!) emails because we're all over the world. It keeps communication open I think.
