In a wedding while planning mine

Yeah! I'm planning our wedding Feb 2020, and helping my sister plan hers for Dec 2020. She's my moh and I'm hers. Since mine is in 100 days I'm basically almost done with planning, plus I have a total of 10 while she's going to have a wedding of 100 guests.

Yeah we both are having big weddings. She is as well in my wedding. She has already sent me information about the dresses and shoes for hers and was wondering when I would even need to order my dress for her wedding...

Yes. Our wedding is August 2020. I am a bridesmaid for a wedding September 2020 and my fiancée is also a groomsman for a wedding in September 2020. We also have 7 weddings next year, including our own.

Oh wow. That sounds like a lot.

Yup! I'm a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding August 2020 and our wedding is October 2021.

I like to get things early to cross off my list. If she's already sent you a dress and shoes, and doesn't intend on changing them go ahead and get it so you can focus on your wedding!

My husband did this. His groomsman was getting married a week before us so they both were planning their own weddings while being in each other's. You definitely have to coordinate schedules or else it's a lot going on .

That's a good point. We definitely have been communicating about everything which is a help.

My family is having five weddings next year. My cousin is getting married January 2020 and she’s in mine (November 2020) and I’m in hers. We both have a cousin that is also in both and is my MOH and also the MOH to another cousin that is marrying September 2020. Im also performing (poetry) at my cousin’s wedding in June 2020. We’re all related. We share tips, advice and have discussed vendors. My cousin (January bride) just came with me on Saturday to say yes to the dress. Her bachelorette is this weekend and bridal shower the weekend of December 1st. I’m waiting till her wedding is over to get the bridesmaids started on their dresses and plans. It’s stressful but communication is key and respect of everyone else’s plans and current responsibilities are important to consider.

How are you going about keeping it affordable for everyone if you don't mind me asking?

View Quoted Comment Whew Chile! Lol. So, the first major thing was discussing timelines and ranges for everyone. Knowing that my MOH is in three weddings and is the MOH in two, knowing her budget and timeline was important. Everyone agreed on the same budget price. I got engaged Sept. 1st and by the 19th had everything booked so, that gave me a good head start on budgeting and getting some things in order to prepare for the January wedding and the remaining festivities for my cousin’s wedding. As much as I’m excited to get the ball rolling on my bridesmaids, I want to be respectful of my cousin’s wedding and her excitement and budgeting. We purchased our dresses last year because she was originally getting married in August 2019 but moved to January. That sorta worked out. The only suggestion I really have is just communicating those timelines and agreeing on budgets. Everyone was comfortable to wait till after my cousin’s wedding to start working on mine. I gave about a month and a half time between my cousins wedding and my goal to start shopping around for my own. Everyone is comfortable with that. I’m not trying to break the bank either and they were cool with the budget they all agreed upon. My fiancé and mom is aware of my financial obligations and have offered to pick up where I may need assistance.

Additionally, everyone is accommodating too. My cousin is understanding of my financial responsibilities and isn’t holding things against me and vise versa. We’re both equally excited, understanding of the wedding process and just trying to make it as easy as possible with effective communication.

Hi! My future sister in law is getting married two months after me. We’re in each other’s weddings. It’s kind of funny to see the differences and similarities.

I'm a bridesmaid for one of my bridesmaids! We're getting married in January (53 days ahhh!), she and her FH, who happens to be my FH's best man (my FH is his best man too!), are getting married June 2020.

Yeah this was all of my college friends because most of us got married within two years. I was in a wedding in May when I was engaged and wedding in August where I was engaged. One of my bridesmaids will be getting married 5 months after my wedding. I don't think it really affects anything except to make sure you don't plan showers and stuff on the same day or too close together.
