How are you keeping in touch with your bridesmaids?

We have a group text that we use to talk about wedding stuff. I don’t like to constantly talk to them about wedding stuff because I don’t want to be annoying and I understand they have their own lives so for me it works to have a separate group text that I use for wedding stuff only. That way I can talk to them about regular stuff in our other texts.

I have 5 girls, when I needed to contact them I just texted them all individually. For example, when the BM dress went on sale I just let them all know it was 50% off, when I needed a head count for the hairstylist, I texted them and asked if they wanted their hair done or not.

I felt like a Facebook group was a little excessive and I didn't want to group chat because they don't all know each other or have each others numbers. It wasn't hard to just contact them individually.

I feel like a bad bride, I dont really contact them much.
I'll show my MOH what I'm up to occasionally but I dont really communicate with them much.

I have a group text with my matron of honor and bridesdude. I only use that for wedding communications - and only when we have updates/questions. I contact them about non-wedding stuff regularly through phone calls, FB messenger or other text message. And you know, face to face interactions.

I email them all when there’s something important (dresses, HMU, other logistics) but otherwise I just talk to them as normal and we’ll often end up talking about the wedding!

I have a bridesmaid group on FB. I have 10 so it's easier to contact them all.

I started a group chat with all three of them plus my mother. It works fine for us since it’s a small group.

IMO, this makes you a good bride LOL

View Quoted Comment Haha all I really want from them is to show up.
The only thing I've asked of them is if they wanted to come dress shopping with me and invited my MOH and my mom to come time my final fitting to be shown how to bustle my dress so somebody can know how to help me out.

This is what I'm thinking too. I reallyyyy don't want to bug them, just want them to show up lol! My goal is to just give a deadline to get their bridesmaid dresses and maybe send a couple of messages relaying some things closer to the wedding (like coming with me for dress shopping if they want to!). I have a cousin who is a bridesmaid who I talk to everyday about the wedding, but that is her doing, lol. She will always message me first!

I'm thinking about just contacting my bridesmaids individually as well!

My MOH has an event page for the bachelorette on Facebook and we have a group text for smaller things. I don't do a ton of constant communication with them, just maybe one text a month or updates as girls order dresses and stuff.

FH and I,have a Facebook bridal page,and this is how we communicate with them all,including our Moms and FH grand parents.

They're all my best friends and I talk to them regularly so I don't see the need for a group message or a Facebook group. The only wedding business that I really need to speak with them about is their attire and that's easy enough over a phone call or a text.

I have a group thread on facebook messenger (and the last 2 weddings I was in as a bridesmaid also had one) however we use it both for wedding things and just to talk because we're all friends. Due to that though if I mention something important and I notice that a couple of us just go on talking and the important info gets lost in a bunch of messages I resend the important info to the people who weren't in the convo. I'm not sure if that makes sense? Basically half my bms as well as myself are constantly on facebook/messenger and the other 2 check maybe once a day or every other day. So when I sent them the dates and times for the rehearsal I sent it in in the group message, but also individually to the 2 who don't check it that much.

I chose to text all my girls individually, group texts can become a little annoying when everyone's schedules are different. But if there's something I would like for them all to know I will send it in a mass text and they can text me back however they choose.

I start a group text with their contact information to coordinate when to buy their dresses.
