Bridal Shower Question

I am already planning my sister's wedding ( I mean everything bc she lives out of town) and I have so much to do for it. I have a lot of other things on my plate (not wedding related) and I would like the other bridesmaids to participate in the planning of this bridal shower & bach party.

4 of the 6 bridesmaids live out of town.. how would you have them contribute? Would you split costs or delegate each one to buy supplies?

My mom is also paying for the majority of the shower and I would like to give her some financial relief since my parents are paying everything for the wedding.

Re: Bridal Shower Question

  • I would delegate them each to do something to help you out.  As much as the financial contributions are nice, you need help physically too.  I'd try to make a list of things you need done, ask people to volunteer for something and hopefully it will all get covered, otherwise let them know you'll assign them tasks. lol

  • Well 4 of them don't live here and won't be attending. But I know I will have help from the other 2 who do live here and my mom. I guess I just wanted to know how I should have them help without being able to come to the shower.

    Most of my girls lived OOT and did not attend either.  One of them bought gifts for prizes and sent them, another came up with all the games and sent the supplies, one made the invites and sent them, etc.

  •  I didn't know if I should do that or just split the cost. But that sounds like a good way to do it.  Thanks :)

  • I'm throwing my sister a bridal shower in April along with my mom and 2-3 BM's are going to help by contributing stuff for games, prizes, decorations, etc. She has a total of 8 BM's girls(including me as MOH) with 3 of them being out of town who won't be at both events, so the other BM's are going to help me with the planning of bachelorette party as who is paying for what. At least that is how we have it worked out now :-) GL!
