Who gets ready with the bride?

Hi there! We are doing a bridesmaid property for my DW, where myself and all the bridesmaids and their SO and kids will be in three houses on one property.

I was planning on having all of the girls in a single house on that day, is it ok to ask them to have their SO watch their children in a different house or at the beach? Anywhere where I'm not? Besides the kids I don't want the SO's to see me.

An innocent question I promise since I don't have children!

That seems entirely reasonable. I wouldn't want the distraction of children when getting ready.

Nothing wrong with that. No one should take offense to that. I have 3 kids and it seems totally fair.

I don't have children, but I feel like that's a pretty typical situation so it's not too much to ask.

Yes that seems very reasonable. No one should take offence to that! My fsil would take offence to that only bc she won't be away from her kids for a minute, if I asked her that she would freak out.... hopefully none of ur people are like that!

Yea I would just say that you want to get ready with just the girls, I bet they would be thinking it would be like that anyway

Just put your MOH up to the job of making the annoucement and you don't have to worry about it.

I would say as few children as possible so you aren't being unreasonable IMO at all and as much as the guys may hate it they understand

I agree with that.
I have a Q of my own -
I planned to have my bridesmaids and mom with me. I'm planning to ask my FMIL and my stepmom as well. Does anyone know if I need to ask my FSILs (FH has one sister and two sister in laws) if they want to be with me / their hair and makeup done as well...? They are not in the BP.
This feels like a lot of people.
