In today’s hive:
- Does anyone know of a blog with groom/groomsmen attire for inspiration? RD is planning an intimate fall casual garden wedding; her fiance will wear a suit, and they’d like the GM to be semi casual and comfortable (the BMs are wearing strapless Anthropologie dresses).
- Can anyone tell Amy where to rent navy blue tuxedoes? Do they even exist?
- Justine Ungaro is looking for a bridal salon in southern California that carries Oscar de la Renta gowns.
- Danielle is having problems with her 2 MOH’s who were her college roommates. They’re having no part of her bachelorette party and didn’t show up to either of her 2 showers. Meanwhile her other 2 bm’s are wonderful. It’s 2 months til the wedding… is it too late to switch the MOH’s and BM’s?
- Rita is getting married in 4 weeks and has decided she dislikes her dress. With the wedding so close she’s on a tight budget…. any suggestions?
- Joyful is a very small budget bride and is thinking about having her dress made. Is it cheaper in the long run to have it made or just bite the bullet and buy the dress she wants? And what kind of questions should she ask dressmakers?

Danielle,
Well only way that the guests have to identify your MOHs and BMs are when they read the program and when the DJ announces you all at the reception, right? Maybe you can simply list all of your girls as “Wedding Participants” in the program (and then list each one’s name and their relation to you, just as you would have anyway). Only list the 2 BM’s first, to give them a little seniority without emphasizing the fact that they have switched roles with the MOHs. Then, when your DJ announces the party (if you’re even doing this), he can just introduce everyone as “the wedding party”. This way you can subtlety phase out the MOH/BM titles and give the girls who deserve it a little recognition.
