OMG. vent.
I am stunned right now.
One of my best friends is getting married at the end of August. In January and February, her MOH (who is another of my best friends), myself, and the other 4 bridesmaids were emailing like mad, planning the shower and bachelorette party.
Long story short: No one was free the same weekends, and the closest we could get to the wedding was the weekend of July 5th. So we decided we would do the shower during the day Saturday, then kidnap the bride and take her to Providence for the bachelorette Saturday night, and come back to CT for a spa-day Sunday. It was done - we booked the hotel, we looked into caterers & other rentals, we were going to send the invitations in a week, since it's a holiday weekend.
I just got a call from the frantic MOH - the groom's sister (WHO HAD OFFERED TO HOST THE SHOWER AT HER HOUSE) just emailed us to say that she's not free the weekend of the 5th. Not only did she say she isn't free, she said, "Not sure if I told you guys that, might've missed it. What's the day we were supposed to have the shower at my house again?"
????????? I was shocked. And now I'm furious. We had already spoken to friends of the bride who have to travel and asked them to set aside the date. What are we going to do now? We would do the same date, if it wasn't planned to be at the SISTER'S HOUSE! Omg. I don't know what we're going to do. If we don't do it that weekend, I think we have to do it the first weekend of June, and that's so soon, and so far from the wedding.
I am floored. Who does that? Is that not insanely irresponsible and selfish? Ack. What a jerk. Looks like we have more planning to do. The MOH and I are "talking" Saturday night to go over all of our options. She's going to tell the sister that we may have to do it that weekend anyway (if we can figure out a place to do it), since people already made travel arrangements...
Ugh! Thanks for listening!

Re: OMG. vent.
and vent all ya want - its tough planning things with a lot of busy schedules
Oh no Amie!! I don't blame you for being frustrated. I agree with pp though, your plan sounds good...hopefully you can still have it that weekend, just in a different place.
Is this what we have to look forward to as MOHs? lol...
