Why don't you just go to a store? All the supplies are not joint efforts btw. What is suppose to be a joint effort is a basic what you want to do for the event and how much money you want them to spend.

Talk on the phone about what you want, but unless you live in the UK (bach parties are sooo much a bigger deal there), you don't need "supplies". Order a set of penis straws and call it a day.

I would worry in your quest to have so many supplies have you discussed prices. You start ordering 10-20 things and every bridesmaid will be chipping in $20 before you've even started planning anything fun. The ones with the babies really don't care. They are trying to be good bridesmaids but they don't care if you like this straw or this straw better. They have a child to take care of.

You are so into this--you should be the one planning. The girls in college have access to a computer. Get their input on sites if need be. The ones having a baby care about how much money this is going to cost. Agree on a price point first. Then see what you can do for that much money.

You've heard the expression too many cooks. If you have at least that many bridesmaids, you are not all going to agree on which colors you like best. You just be in charge and make those decisions.

Couple questions regarding Russian mail-order brides?

There is a preliminary point which I thought would go without saying - plainly, there is no such thing as a "mail order bride" in the sense of an old Sears Roebuck or Montgomery Ward catalog. However, whilst I have never fully looked into it, it does appear that during the Stalin period there came into existence catalogues of women seeking marriage. It is not surprising. There were two revolutions (the second was the Communist putsch funded by the Germans), the dissolution of the family and marriage by Lenin, the attack on the church, the Civil War, collectivization, confiscation of land, the various purges, the Terror Famine in Ukraine and the NAZI invasion. The country was in chaos for 30 years and all the usual means of meeting a spouse - family, church and village - were under attack. It is noticeable that a disproportionate share of the women who use dating agencies are from Eastern Ukraine, which was under Russian rule before the First World War. Western Ukraine has many fewer participants. This is even though wages are generally higher in Eastern Ukraine. Western Ukraine was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was relatively libertarian - unlike the social/fascist/communist party (there is really no difference between the NAZIs and the Communists, unless you are one of them). In the result, there is an acceptance of Internet dating in the old Soviet Empire, that there is not in other places.

As to the first question - There are a lot because there are a lot of Russians, but most of the girls these days come from Ukraine, as it is a lot poorer, as it does not have oil and gas resources. Russia may become more available, if the oil price crashes. So it is only a very small minority, but that is a lot of people.

As to the second question - Russian and Ukrainian women do not despise their men. You will be a second choice. But the sex ratios are skewed in Russia and Ukraine, because of early deaths of men, particularly from alcohol. Further, many more women than men complete University, so there is a shortage of good men. It is a bit the way it is hard for an American women of color to get a husband that she is proud of. The divorce rate is also high, so there is often a slight preference for an older man, because he might settle down and cash now is valued more than future prospects.

It is true that Russian men can be tough and aggressive, but in my experience, so can Russian women. There is a Russian saying that "the woman is the neck and the man is the head". You will not get a submissive woman, but you will get someone who is not so stupid that she thinks that your success is independent of hers. Hard times teach good lessons.

As to the third question of mistresses, if you have money, it is true. But the rules against adultery are worn more lightly in Russia, than in the West, so do not be surprised if your wife cheats on you on holiday, if you do not watch her.

As to the fourth question, in my experience, Russians are much more leary of interracial dating, than say Americans. Anything is, of course, possible, but I would not get your hopes up. It is a big step getting involved with a caucasian foreigner.

Some general comments - If you send money, many will keep you around, whether they like you or not. It is not a good strategy.

If a web site does not make it easy for you to contact the women directly, it is probably a scam. That should be the first thing you check.

You will have a lot of opposition from women - they do not like foreign competition, any more than GM does.

There are scammers. A lot of the challenge is to weed these out.

My view is that if you are divorced and have money, you are better off looking in Russia or Ukraine, than in the West, but if you bring them back to your country, expect many of them to go native, pretty quickly.

It is not a cheap process and you must have game - because Russian and Ukrainian women will try you out very fast and if you fail will dominate you and despise you. You have to be a man - see, for example, heartiste.wordpress.com

If you find yourself making excuses for the girl, then you should dump her.

You must go there and meet her. A lot of women are paid to respond to letters and they have no interest in you whatever.

Do not expect locals to be supportive. It offends nationalism.

You should sign a pre-nuptial agreement and you should think about giving her a house straight up, if she comes from a village. Why? Houses are usually cheap by our standards in the villages. You should agree to any children going back to Ukraine if you divorce and you should agree levels of child support in terms of the minimum monthly wage. It might be 2 or 3 times the minimum wage. It will still be a bargain.

They work out best if you are going to another second world country to live. You can all "live high on the hog" and feminism is merely a noise in the distance.

I have a mail order and catalog business and?

I don't understand. You have a mail order and catalog business - so why would you have any expectations of meeting your customers?
