Weddingbee boards

All I know about my bachelorette is the weekend it's taking place, and who I requested to be invited.  Since the invitations went out, I've had five people (including my FSIL) tell me they can't make it!! This is out of 20 or so people.  

Now I know the bridesmaids could be planning something that involves travel, so that's why people could be saying they can't come.  Most of the people who have cancelled have said "you'll understand why when you know'. 

But it's really hard to look forward to it when all I know is who ISN'T going!! 

I could say something to my bridesmaids to let them know that I'm kind of dissapointed that so many people are letting me know they can't make it.  But then if they did plan something amazing, I would feel bad forcing them to change their plans just to make me feel comforted now. They are the kind of people who make changes to make me feel better. 

Should I say something or just wait and see what happens?

Say nothing!  Just sit back and enjoy whatever your girls have planned for you. 

Don't worry about the people who aren't coming!

Thanks!! I knew I was getting to be a bit whiney about it, and my fiance was defintiely tired of me complaiing about it. You ladies have helped me smarten up and be appreciative of my bridesmaids:) 

@MrsDiddles Someone who can't make it did bring this up.  I'm certainly going to aim for something like this.  I wish I could say there were plenty of weekends left, but as soon as the bachelorette is over it's full blown xmas season and trying to plan anything during that time is bound to have even more people drop out.  I'm hoping I can squeeze something like this for the girls the weekend before my wedding in the beginning of January. 

Thanks for momentarily de-zilla'ing me

Hey! 

Just an update - I had my bachelorette this weekend and of course it was amazing. I shouldn't have doubted anything, but of course hindsight is 20/20. It was an out of town weekend back to the town where I went to university. All of the girls who came were university friends as well, so they were reminiscing just as much as I was.  

I was sent on a scavenger hunt through the campus. One of the spots was to the house I shared with 3 of the other girls in attendance. We knocked on the door and told the student we used to live there 7 years ago and she invited us in to take a look! So amazing to look at a house you used to live in to see the changes/how nothing has changed. Such a treat!

Things got a little wild last night, but it was all in good fun.  This morning, we were laughing so hard looking at pictures from last night that we were all in tears.  I couldn't have asked for anything better!
