The Morning of...

How did you girls let your BMs know where to be when on the morning of the wedding?
My overall plan...I'm getting ready at my dad's house, some of them are getting their hair & make-up done in the morning (their coming to my house) and some aren't. Photographer is arriving about 11:45am, we're leaving for church about 1:20. I'm going to have a brunch (not sure of how formal more then grazing, depends on time I guess) that morning and I don't want to be too rushed.
Did you send an invite to the BMs? Just send them a timeline? Neither??

Thanks!

    I just spoke with everyone involved, and probably Emailed too, just telling them what time they HAD to be there by.
    If I were you, I'd let them know the photographer is coming at 11:45, so they HAVE to be there by then, but are welcome to come earlier, as you'll have some food available.

    PS: I thought of you, my newly engaged brother just booked The Venetian!

    I had two BMs and we were getting ready at my parents' house. Our church was about 15 minutes away and the ceremony started at 2 p.m.

    I told them that I was hiring a makeup artist to come to the house and do my makeup, and they both said they wanted to use her as well. The three of us went to three different hair salons in town to get our hair done. I just coordinated all that information with the photographer to get his opinion on when he should arrive and start shooting. 

    We decided that we'd all make our hair appointments for 9 a.m., and the makeup girl would come to the house at 10 and start doing makeup - and I would go last and the photographer would time his arrival so that he could get some shots as I was finishing up with that (I think he was there around 11:30?). I think we left the house around 1:15 or 1:30, and I was sitting outside in the limo for about 15 minutes waiting for the ceremony to start exactly at 2.

    I just told them - e-mail, phone calls, texts. I didn't see the need for a paper invitation or a written timeline. But again, I only had two BMs and it was all very simple, so maybe something written is the way to go if you have a very complicated schedule and a lot of people to accommodate.

    Thanks Ladies...I'm only a little worried cause I have 6 girls and 1 flower girl.  I feel like there's never going to be enough time and I HATE feeling rushed...

    Heather that's soo exciting! So far they've been great to work with :)

    I sent them a timeline but since they all lived in NY, we ended up having everyone come over the day before and sleep over.  It was great, a BM slumber party and they helped me with last minute errands. 
    The next day we all went to the salon together and came back to my house for makeup.  I had 5 BMs and 2 FGs,however the FGs were local so they met us at the salon.

    Also, how early are your hair/makeup ppl getting there? I have 7 girls getting makeup done including myself and the MUA wants to get here 5 hrs in advance! Is that a normal amt of time?

    5 hours in advance of your ceremony time or she needs 5 hours total to do everyone's makeup? 

    I am having one makeup artist, and for 6 people she estimates it will take 3-3.5  hours.
