bachelorette party stress

aimee58 · July 2012

My sis (and MOH) is planning my bachelorette party. She lives in Minneapolis, about 6 hours from my city. Her and my FSIL are both in the medical field and work a lot of weekends. I have one other BM that lives out of town and the rest are in my city.

So my sister sent a FB msg today to all the girls asking about the day of my mom's shower as the bach. party. Like shower, get ready, go out for bach party. That way the out-of-towners don't have to drive in 2 sep. weekends. The other out of towner can't make it that weekend. My sis can't do hardly any other weekend.

I'm just struggling because I want everyone to be there! I'm just starting to realize that this may not be possible. Anyone else in a similar situation? Any advice on how to handle it?

That is what I'm doing for my IA shower. We are actually going out the night before my shower, but the night of my BM's baby shower. It's going to be real small though, with just my 3 girls, my mom and probably my step sisters. I think you should stay out of it and let your sister plan it. Unfortunately, you won't be able to please and accommodate everyone.

One of my bridesmaids won't be able to come to my bachelorette party, even though she's local. It sucks, but like lwoehlk mentioned, you won't be able to accommodate everyone. Just plan something that will allow the most amount of people to come and hope for the best. You'll have fun no matter what, even though some people may be missing. Good luck!!

I was a MOH trying to coordinate 7 BMs on top of other friends, 50% were nurses. You just have to pick a weekend/night that the most can go to, esp with only a handful of weekends left...

I agree with the PP. It's going to be nearly impossible to accommodate everyone, but I think your sister has the right idea in mind for making people only travel one time. It's disappointing, but focus on the fact that you'll still have many of your favorite people together to celebrate with you that weekend, and again at the wedding!

PP said it perfectly. Be glad for the people who can come and know that those who can't, are probably wishing they could be there!

Ditto this! I couldn't go back to IA for my BM's bachelorette party because it was a few weeks before her wedding (which was Dec 1st, so Christmas flights were already booked too). I hated that I couldn't be there, but she understood. I also got probably the most memorable drunk phone call from my besties that night! haha

Thanks ladies! I think I was just a little stressed from all of the facebooking. I'm feeling better now and it looks like we found a date that works for everyone....even though it's the weekend before the wedding. We're getting married Oct. 27th and everyone seems to agree that Oct. 20 will work.
