I’m thinking of “nicely “ firing the bridal party

I got engaged nov 2021 and when I announced it just automatically assumed I would have a bridal party, have it in my home town and all the classic wedding “things”. Our original planned date was for may 22 but we pushed it back to events and finances and are now having it in sept. We have only just announced the date and venue and have decided due to the stresses of trying to organise a wedding and get everything sorted that we would instead have it in the town we live. Choosing to do this has taken a major stress off our shoulders. Now I have to try and organise outfits for bridesmaids and groomsmen that all live 2+ hours away. I know what dress I want but the bridesmaids are being very vocal about their opinions I have sent them through dresses to choose from or asked them to maybe give me an idea and I am getting nothing back. I have tried to organise a dress fitting but one of them always has something on and the dates are getting later and later. I am not getting any suggestions or ideas from them. I am not having a bachelorette party and i am really not feeling any enthusiasm. FH is lagging in even looking at his suit so god only knows when he is going to choose the bucks suits.
I’m thinking I might just not have a bridal party at all, it all seems to hard for everyone, I understand they have their lives to deal with but I really haven’t asked for anything from them just to choose a dress and a suit.
So I am thinking of telling them all that due to distance and the difficulty of everyone coinciding that we have decided to have no bridal party all.I’m a bit upset that I have to make this decision as I have been there and supported them through so many of their major events. but when I think about it just being me and FH to plan the wedding for it just seems a lot less stressful.
