So my bridesmaids haven't shown any interest in the wedding.

Jayy, on June 7, 2021 at 7:59 AM Posted in Planning 0 8

I send them messages about it, asking if they would like their make-up professionally done, asked about dresses, I understand they have their own lives and that's fine. The wedding is three months away and I would just like at least a reply back from them regarding anything.

I don't know what to do, I feel lost.

Do I not worry about them and do my own thing?

And I've only got two bridesmaids.

    Because they have not been replying to your texts, I would send one last one ; “Hi ladies! This is a confirmation that all is well with regards to wardrobe and timing. Pictures begin at X location and at X time. Please arrive on time and photo ready. Me and fiancé are finalizing everything with our vendors these next few weeks so if there are any questions or concerns, please reach out now. By X date everything will be finalized. I look forward to celebrating with you!”

    Are you texting them separately or in a group text? I'm only asking because I'm in a wedding this September and I haven't been able to talk to the bride about BM stuff at all other than in a group text, and I don't love it. Do they reply to other texts you send them?

    I get that it's frustrating, especially if you're trying to figure out hair and make-up for them. Maybe they're concerned they'll be required to get it done professionally and can't afford that? Have you talked to them much outside of wedding planning?

    Send both of them an individual text, or give them a call and just touch base.

    Since these are your bridesmaids, my assumption is that they’re your closest family members and friends. So don’t you already communicate with them regularly via phone/FaceTime? If so, then that’s the prime opportunity to also ask about makeup and dresses. If you’re only communicating with your bridesmaids via text and only about your wedding, that’s possibly the issue.

    Do they not respond to you at all? Or have they let you know they're working on it? If they literally haven't responded/haven't spoken to you/haven't confirmed they've received your messages I would be concerned. If they tell you that they're working on it, I would just trust them and then set up a time a few weeks out to confirm everything in person or on the phone rather than over text.

    Yeah they don't to respond at all.

    We do talk about other things and they respond to that.

    You're right, maybe I need to call them.

    Update, I had my MOH drop out and the other bridesmaid hasn't answered me yet, but I'm sure I'll hear from her tomorrow (it's night time now) So I'm not sure what in the world to do.
