Opinions please

I am totally and utterley bored at work for 2 hours to go until i finish to go on my hen do!! Wooooo hooooo so excited

Anyway, I have 3 BMs - SIL to be, my oldest friend and my best mate. Love all three of them and have a good relationship with SIL to be but really only choice her as a BM coz i didnt want her to feel left out (her partner is an usher and her 2 boys are paige boys) anyway since i asked her we have become a lot closer.

She has really really surprised me at how much thought, time and effort she is putting into our wedding. Way more than i would ever expect or hope. Taking some of the planning out of my hands, co ordinatong hotels for me for the wedding and sorting the hen do completly.

I had never planned to have a chief BM coz i dont really see the point (they dont actually do anything different do theY????) but we are off on hen do this weekend and whilst i obviously dont know the details, i know she has planned lots of things coz everyone has been telling me that she has gone to alot of effort. So, i thought that it would be a nice gesture to ask her to be Chief whilst we are away as a token of how much i appreciate her help.

Do you think it is a good idea? A bit naff ? do you think it might upset my other BMs who realistically i am closer to?

I want to stress that they have not been unhelpful but one has been in Oz for a year (returned yesterday) and the other lives 4 hour drive away.

WWYD?

    If you didn't do the whole CBM thing in the first place I wouldn't do it now. Your SIL has done all of this off her own back without being a CBM so I would just leave things the way they are.

    I can't particularly see the point in the whole chief BM thing either. Personally I would leave things as they are, especially if it might cause some friction with your old friends. What about sending her a nice thank you card after the hen do saying how you appreicate everything she has done.

    I agree with what the others have said, i wouldn't bother mentioning anything. Maybe let her know though how helpful she is being and how much you appreciate it all

    The CBM thing is for witnessing the signing of the register isn't it? The CBM and the best man do it. She's also the one that has to organise the other BM's on the day- make sure they get ready in time etc. That's what I thought any way.
