Maid of Honour lives way out of town

in Pre-wedding Parties
I'm a BM for a friend who will also be my BM. Her MOH lives on the other side of the country and probably won't be in town until a day or two before the wedding... I have a feeling that I will be responsible for the showers and the big stagette party but how do I go about doing this without offending the MOH? This is the first time I've been a BM and I am unsure of the etiquette in this type of situation. Any advice??

    Just wait until you know for sure.  I was MOH when I lived in Florida for my best friend who lived in Arizona, and I still threw and organized her bridal shower.  Don't assume the MOH who lives out of town won't do it.  Give her a chance to offer before you suggest doing anything.

    I would talk to the MOH.  Maybe mention that you would love to help her plan something, or help set up stuff, etc.  She might really appreciate you throwing the shower instead, or she might want to throw it still from far away.  If she still wants to throw one, she probably would really appreciate would really appreciate your help since you probably know more of the vendors and locations in the area.

    Talk to the Maid of Honor.  Ask if she is planning on throwing something and wants your help since you live nearby.  If she is unable to participate, she will probaby be very grateful that you are taking care of this responsibility.  Maybe even ask for her input on a couple things, if she is interested.  Just feel her out, and see where she stands.

    I am in the same situation-although, the MOH has made no attempt to help. I have called her, text her, and emailed her and recieved no reply! I spent over $300 on the bridal shower and now will be totally responsible for the bachparty as well. I feel totally used! The bride is soon to be my sister inlaw so I want to help make her wedding and wedding parties awesome....but, am frustrated by the MOH-any ideas on this?
