I’m looking for opinions as I haven’t been a bridesmaid since I was a child and therefore first time being part of arranging a hen party.
I am maid of honour for my best friend, there are 2 other bridesmaids (one is a close friend, the other Ive met before but don’t know well) . All the same age.
Hen party is for 16 people. I was lucky in that the bride gave me a loose idea of what she’d like.
The hen party is in 2 weeks, it’s an afternoon/evening event.
I have planned it all, including buying decorations, with almost no help from the other bridesmaids. I have asked their advice on a couple of things, which they both did give answers (although a little vague) but at no point have either of them asked how the planning was going or if there was anything they could do (even when a couple of other people were being difficult with the choice of venue).
I was so pleased to be asked to be maid of honour and more than happy to plan it. I also fully appreciate they both have other things going on! But now that it’s nearly here I’m just a little annoyed that neither of them have offered to do anything. Is it normal for the bridesmaids to help more or is it usually all down to the MOH?
YABU- bridesmaids don’t help, this is normal
YANBU- bridesmaids do normally help out more
