Hello ladies! So back story: my bachelorette picnic (in lieu of a bachelorette weekend) was supposed to be this weekend but due to the smoke in the air from the SoCal fires, my MOH and I were talking about if we should reschedule or have it inside. She said if we had it at my house, then she would zoom in and not come over and specifically said she does not feel comfortable going into people’s homes now (Covid), so we’re rescheduling.
Which brings me to this: My original plan for the getting ready location is at my home. What am I supposed to do now if she’s not comfortable coming into my home? Here are the options I’m brainstorming —
- have the hair & makeup team send another artist to her directly to get ready at her own home (About 2 miles from me, so not too bad) and have her cover the cost (if there is one for something like that). Pros: she feels safe, I don’t have to pay extra; Cons: not getting ready together.
- ask the hair & makeup team To do this outside in the backyard? Pros: get ready together; Cons: it’ll be pretty cold bc it’s in the winter, not sure about how the logistics would work for things that need electricity??
- try to convince her to do this one time... Pros: less stress on me & we can get ready together; Cons: I’m a bad friend because I already know she doesn’t feel comfortable with this, she would probably feel hurt.
I think it’s good that she voiced her concerns and it’s completely understandable that she feels this way... but ya this throws off my planning a bit. It would suck to not get ready together especially since it’s everyone’s first time getting their makeup done and it’s generally just a fun time to be with people and get excited for the wedding, but I know it’s not the end of the world either... sigh what to do what to do
