ETA I posted this under another thread but figured I'd start a new one to get some more feedback - I'm really quite at a loss.
I'm having four bridesmaids for my wedding next September - they're scattered across the country (seriously - Seattle, Chicago, Boston and Texas) and none of them know each other at all (my sister, F's sister, two of my good friends from college but they weren't friends with each other).
I recently hung out with my Boston bridesmaid and she was asking me what we were going to do for the bachelorette. I told her that it was bad etiquette for a bride to plan her own bachelorette, but her response was along the lines of, "well, none of us know each other, so you'll probably the one to organize something right?" She said she definitely wanted to do something but that she figured I would plan it. My Texas bridesmaid also told me she wanted to do something but also seemed to think I would take the lead.
What do I do in this situation? I don't care that much about having a bachelorette (and definitely don't want to have a shower - have made that clear) but at least a few bridesmaids seem enthusiastic about it. I know I could give them each other's contact info but I understand that having never met each other they may feel pretty awkward discussing planning, finances, etc. My MOH is my sister who is getting married three months before me in June, and she is pretty busy planning her own wedding and possibly her own Vegas bachelorette. She and I have dicussed possibly doing a joint Vegas weekend since our weddings are so close and we're in each other's wedding parties, but I don't know her bridesmaids, she doesn't know mine, and none of them would know each other
I dunno.....any thoughts?
