Hi everyone,

I'm having a small bridal party that consists of my sister and future-sister-in-law. They both live very far away (12 hours from me) so I'm having trouble thinking of ways for them to contribute. I don't know if, how, or when they will plan a wedding shower or bachelorette party and I don't even know how early they'll be able to arrive before the wedding festivities. FSIL just started a new job so it's not looking like she'll be able to take much time off at all. Plus, funds are really tight for both of them.

Any ideas for how to handle a long-distance bridal party without asking them to travel?

Edit: I don't expect them to do anything besides wear a dress to the wedding. I'm even trying to pick out dresses online so they can both be part of it. I'm just slightly sad that I don't have anyone nearby to plan and celebrate with.

My matron of honor lives in Wisconsin (I'm in AZ) and my maid of honor is 13. I've included my maid (she's my future step-daughter) in some stuff like going with her dad and I to visit venues and she's looked at dresses. My try to keep my BFF (matron) in the loop by emailing and texting. WeddingtonWay has a cool site for bridesmaid dresses in that you can start a showroom and they can like styles you picked and they can add other styles you like. Since this isn't my first I'm not worried about bachelorette or shower.
