Hi all!
One of my very dear friends is getting married in August. She's been engaged now since October 2011. I reached out to the MOH in January to begin brainstorming ideas for the bachelorette. After being in 7 weddings (and have gone to countless), I know what it takes to coordinate a bachelorette party. Preliminary brainstorming ideas we came up with included doing a weekend away, etc. I've reached out to the MOH multiple times over the past couple of months, most recently the first week of this month. She said she was having some issues with her car, but she'd get on it asap. I responded with that the clock is ticking to put something together, the bride's time between now and August is limited (the bride will be out of the country, there's Memorial Day, Fourth of July, etc.), and we need to figure out what we're doing and when since people are starting to make plans for the summer, people need to budget, etc. I then mentioned (not the first time) to please let me know how I can help out, and that whatever she needs me to do or take on, to ask. I am more than willing to do whatever I need to. She never responded back to my email.
We're now approaching the end of April, and still nothing has been planned. I'm not only concerned about coming up with money that I'll need to contribute, but I also want to make sure that something isn't slapped together last minute and that we do something that the bride wants; again the bride is one of my very best friends. I do not want to see her be disappointed!
What should my next steps be from here? I'm afraid to confront the bride because I don't want to upset her, but at the same time, I don't want her to be disappointed. I also don't want to step over the toes of the MOH. However, we've had a lot of time to put something together, and I'm getting anxious!
