How to ask bridal party for help? Need help in formulating the text.

So I've asked my bestfriends to be bridesmaids and all are delighted to have been chosen, now I want to create a WhatsApp group chat where plans in regards to the wedding are discussed.


I do expect and will need help, but I don't want to appear demanding.
My bridesmaids all have special talents, some have super decoration , organising, speechwriting, empathetic, skills that I would like to integrate in my plans. On a few websites I've read, that a bride has to make her expectations clear, to her bridal party. I wanted to open the group chat with a friendly greeting. But how do I write that I would be happy for their assistance and guidance throughout the wedding plans , without seeming demanding?

    Maybe tell them that? "I'm so happy you'll be there on my big day, and hope we can work together on certain aspects that celebrate your talents"
    Not the best wording but it's late and I'm tired! Haha. Hope it helps inspire some better words for you though

    I would ask them how much they are comfortable helping. Say you're so happy they're your bridesmaids and you'd love if you could incorporate their talents into your wedding, but you don't want to ask too much of them and so how much would they like to be involved?

    I think if you're kind about it and appreciative of them regardless, it won't come across badly. I actually went the opposite and barely asked my bridesmaids for anything, but recently they've started coming to me saying they WANT to help and please give them a job!

    It's all about being considerate and not being demanding I think, as your friends will likely want to be there for you and support you but they're unlikely to want to be treated like staff.

    I’d imagine they’ll be expecting to help - they are bridesmaids after all! Maybe list the things you’d like help with and ask them to volunteer for the bits they’re happy to take care of? You might even find as soon as you start the group, one of them will ask how they can help anyway.
