FB page for BMs and parents?

Do you have one? If so, how is it working out?

I am getting annoyed with the group messages. FB doesn't always notify me when someone has responded and it is too glitchy for my sanity. I have tried texting, but I can't remember who I talked to about what. Should I start a group page?

Re: FB page for BMs and parents?

  • I made one for my bridesmaids. We shared pictures of dresses and other ideas. I think it has been really helpful especially since we haven't been able to get together very much. I actually made a secret group though so that no one who isn't a member can even see it.

  • Mine's a private group with my BMs and me too!

    I hadn't even thought about this.  I just send group e-mails.

    ETA: This is my 1000th post! Yay haha!

    Yeah. For updates on wedding stuff and getting opinions from my girls. Not a wedding website, if that is what you are thinking.

    I've never heard of that being done. I could see it being helpful if the girls were spread out but my 3 BMs are my 3 sisters so it'd be pointless for us haha

    Mine are super spread out. My sister is in Italy, and all my other BMs live in other states or cities. I just realized I don't have any BMs in my city. haha. The closest one is an hour away.

    In a situation like that I could see it definitely being helpful
  • Interesting idea! Two of my BM's don't use FB that often so it wouldn't work for me :(

    I'm in the same boat!  My closest BM is an hour away also.  One is about 2 hours and the other is in Florida! Looks like I'll be making a private group on FB tonight!
  • My mom created a FB group (just like us June 2012 Knotties have one) for myself, her, and my 3 BMs. It's wonderful. All are local but it helps when trying to get information from everyone when they are not available to meet up. I post things on it all the time and I like being able to get their feedback in a timely manner.

  • I have a private Facebook group for the wedding party. I actually just made it the other day so not much has gone on in there, but I made it in hopes of better communication as we are getting so close to the day.
