Especially bc 2 of my 3 BMs are out of town. My MOH has offered already to do a shower at my mom's house and some kind of bachelorette night (I'm not so much for bars or plastic penises...) and I am THRILLED... but I would never ask her to do that.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-having-no-expectations-for-my-bridesmaids#post-502427 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:56:37 +0000 Querida 502427@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I am taking the same approach.&nbsp; I think it's smart - not crazy.&nbsp; I have 6 BMs and am really letting them run their own thing - we've been dress shopping together, but they already know I'm very relaxed about all of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>To each his own - everyone knows their BMs and sometimes they need "direction" or rules.&nbsp; I'm just lucky mine don't.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-having-no-expectations-for-my-bridesmaids#post-502423 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:52:58 +0000 Gemstone 502423@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Things may come up as the wedding draws nearer, but good for you for honoring your girls without expectations of things in return!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-having-no-expectations-for-my-bridesmaids#post-502420 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:51:51 +0000 bamm 502420@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My sister is my only attendant.&nbsp; Her role is to wear a dress, be on time, mitigate disputes with my mum the day of, and give me advice on what to do about family member conflicts now. Love it, she loves it. We're a happy low maitenance bridal party!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-having-no-expectations-for-my-bridesmaids#post-501143 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:48:07 +0000 Blueshoes2 501143@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ohhh I totally feel this way.&nbsp; I asked my bridesmaids to buy dresses so far and that's about it!&nbsp; They WANT more to do though, it's kind of funny!&nbsp; If nobody wanted to help me do DIY projects I totally wouldn't mind though... I'm kind of a do it all myself kinda gal anyway.&nbsp;</p>
