Getting ready for the wedding..

I'm with everyone else here, its pretty common for bridesmaids to get ready with the bride. They should be there to help you get dressed, take pictures if you don't have a photographer there, give you hair/makeup advice if you want it, and also make sure you are happy with their hair/makeup since they will be in your photos forever. Lots of people get cute robes or shirts and take photos getting ready together. I plan on having my bridesmaids and my mom all in my bridal suite to get ready, and will probably order some type of lunch for everyone to enjoy and relax together before the ceremony.

I have always gotten ready with the bride and never had to take a bunch of stuff, but I have always gotten hair done by whoever was doing the bride. I would just try again to talk to them. Maybe you can store their items for the wedding at your place or are you all coming in that day?

I’m a very emotional and sensitive person so I understand where you are coming from. Tell them you would enjoy if you all got ready together, that’s all! ❤️

I would just tell the girls “hey we’re getting ready here, please be here at such and such a time”. Maybe they weren’t aware of a plan so they assumed you wanted to get ready alone? I don’t know, I’m reaching. But I agree, it’s very weird, they should be getting ready with you and helping you. That’s why you asked them to be bridesmaids to support you on the day of. Just take charge.

They should all be getting ready with you. I’d be upset too! I would say that you’d really like them all there to get ready with you. The point of having maids is having them to help you!

Ladies, thanks for all of your advice and opinions! Everyone is fine now and on board and I didn’t even have to say much. 🙂 I will definitely be making a cute festive timeline for them to follow so we can make sure everyone is on the same page. Whom ever suggested that great idea!

I would talk to them, I think everyone getting ready together is part of being in the bridal party!

The entire point of bridesmaids is to have help and support from them. Them all getting ready elsewhere seems to defeat the purpose, especially since it's highly likely that you will need multiple hands to get ready.

View Quoted Comment I wouldn't have minded if she was 5 or 6 or 7 months pregnant but she's due a couple weeks before my wedding and I didnt want to risk her having the baby at my wedding 🤷🏻‍♀️ I dont care if she's pregnant but I feel like she's going to be miserable as I was miserable when I was that pregnant and I wouldn't have wanted any part of going to any party being that pregnant. I'm not a bridezilla I swear! I was looking out for her sanity and also praying she won't go early on my wedding day. The odds are slim but with my luck

Why don’t you go to the house they are at?

I definitely think that it is normal for the bridesmaids to get ready with the bride. After all, it is your day and they are supposed to be there for you. I think they really should be getting ready in your room and trying to help YOU!

Wow - so instead of being happy for her, you are complaining that she doesn't have enough money to throw you a shower. My other favorite is: "and they agreed to be in it so they should do what you say."

Just wow.
