How many girls?

did you ask to be in your wedding, and how many of them actually WERE in your wedding?



I don't know what is going on, I haven't asked for a bridal shower or any type of party...I haven't asked for help in ANY of my plans..I am even paying for their flowers, make-up and hair, and all I asked if for them to pay for their dresses by June, and only 1 out of 6 people have done that so far. Are they being flakey or am I just growing nervous? The wedding is November 1st, is this too early to worry about this?

How many girls?
I asked 6, and 6 have agreed. 5 of the 6 have paid gotten fitted/paid for their dresses.



I know where you are coming from, though, as my wedding is just a bit after yours (November 15th).



They're not being flakey, it's just that dates and deadlines go over people's heads when it's not their wedding.



Try gathering up the girls and making a day of it...you can all head down to the bridal shop where they can try on your dresses (and you can put on yours for them to see if that is a possibility!) and then go to lunch afterwards. That way you're inititating and getting it done, but without making it seem like a chore.



Good luck! You've still got plenty of time, don't stress too much...
Reply:I have asked 4 and those 4 have accepted - the wedding isn't til' October '09 so I don't know if they will all actually follow through, but I expect them to.



Its still a couple days until June and maybe they are under the impression they have until the end of June to pay up?

I'd say you are worrying yourself for nothing at this point.
Reply:I asked 3 to be on my side, and all of them accepted. However, one is my sister and the other two are my best friends. They know how important planning a wedding is, so I really didn't have any trouble getting them to order their dresses.



Maybe you could call each one of them personally and let them know the importance of ordering their dress so it arrives with enough time for alterations if needed. If you wait for them to figure it out on their own, it may never get done.
Reply:I asked 7 girls and ALL of them accepted and all of them were in my wedding. One almost wasn't because we got into a HUGE fight the night before and at that point I definitely didn't want her to be there, but then she apologized and I was WAY too tired to even care at that point. It was about 2:30 in the morning, and I had to be up at 5 to get my hair done. So, let me quit babbling on and on.... But yes, I had seven girls!!! BIG WEDDING PARTY! =)
Reply:I asked 5 and 2 backed out. I think if you've asked for the money by June 1, you should wait until June 2 to see if they have given you the money by then. If not, send a reminder email/phone call that you will need the money from them asap and please let you know when they will be sending it.
Reply:I asked 3 girls to be in my wedding and one flaked on me... basically fell off the face of the earth..wouldn't respond to my emails of anything... she is just now begining to talk to me again. My wedding is in a month and a half. I still have 3 girls but she is nolonger one of them.
Reply:Ok first off it is your job to pay for their flowers so don't act like your paying for all of this stuff. Your acting like a nervous little hen. Calm down. it's not even June yet. Maybe they didn't check the "wedding website".. this is why I think those websites are stupid and cheesy... You'd be better off with email!
Reply:The truth is, I didn't opt for a bridal party because we just didn't want any hassles over anything. I don't even know what they're there for. The whole thing seemed pointless to me.
Reply:Hey. yeah, my friend had a wedding, i sang, but she had 5 bridemaids
Reply:let them know have a meeting with them if there is money issues help them figure out how to make it work.
Reply:I asked 7 and had 7. sometimes you just have to send reminders and stuff. I emailed my girls a lot and reminded them about deadlines and stuff. hopefully they're not being flakey. you could find out from your dress place if they can pay half now and half when the dresses come in or if they have a payment plan. (most places don't but it doesn't hurt to ask) you could tell this to your bridesmaids and try to find out if it is a money issue. i wouldn't worry too much. you still have a good 5 months.
