Getting married could be quite money consuming, inline with that don\u2019t keep costs a secret. it’s advisable you share the expenses with close friends and family, most definitely your #Bridesmaids <\/strong>fall into one of these category. We know that asking your bridesmaids<\/strong> to pay for certain things can be tough and it can get awkward when your expectations don\u2019t line up with theirs especially when they\u2019re doing so much to support you already. Whether it\u2019s coordinating the bridal shower<\/strong> or bustling your dress at the wedding<\/strong>, to be honest about what you expect from your crew, up front about all costs associated with their commitment and willing to compromise wherever you can. If you\u2019re gracious and understanding, they will be too. Here\u2019s a complete guide to what bridesmaids<\/strong> are and aren\u2019t typically expected to pay for.
\n<\/p>\n

What Bridesmaids Should Cover:<\/h2>\n

Hotel and Travel<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Traditionally, how your bridesmaids get to the wedding and where they stay is on them, but they should feel comfortable discussing their financial needs with you. If it\u2019s in your budget, consider going halfs on travel and accommodations you can definitely help them out by reserving hotel room blocks\u00a0so the prices are at a discount.<\/p>\n

Wedding Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bridesmaid<\/strong> dresses, shoes and accessories (including jewelry, unless you\u2019re gifting it to them) are their responsibility.<\/p>\n

Bridal Shower \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Depending on who\u2019s hosting, your maid of honor and bridesmaids<\/strong> are often expected to foot the the bridal shower bill. But if your family is hosting (or co-hosting), a portion of the costs and responsibilities from d\u00e9cor and activities to food and beverages will fall on them.<\/p>\n

Bridal Shower Gift<\/strong><\/p>\n

One wedding gift<\/strong> is usually enough and a bridal shower<\/strong> gift is by no means required. But if the party has a fun theme like a lingerie swap, it\u2019s possible to participate without purchasing a huge gift off the couple’s gift registry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wedding Present \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In money, time and effort, your bridesmaids are paying for a lot, so don\u2019t be shocked or offended if they don\u2019t get you a wedding gift<\/strong>. If they do plan on gifting you something, they can always go in on one thing with other bridesmaids<\/strong>. You might prefer to receive one nice gift over several less expensive ones anyway.<\/p>\n

What You Should Cover:<\/h2>\n

Bouquets, Corsages and Other Floral Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bride<\/strong> and her family are expected to pay for the bridesmaid bouquets<\/strong> and other floral accents like corsages.<\/p>\n

Wedding Day Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditionally, the bride<\/strong> and her family are responsible for coordinating and covering day-of wedding transportation ( to and from the hotel, ceremony and reception). However you, your fianc\u00e9 and your families divide it up, your bridesmaids shouldn\u2019t have to worry about this one.<\/p>\n

Hair and Makeup<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one\u2019s a little trickier, but if you request that your bridesmaids<\/strong> get their hair and makeup done professionally, then you should pay. If you\u2019re impartial, but your bridesmaids<\/strong> insist on using a professional glam squad, offer to split the bill or pay for it as their bridesmaid gift otherwise, they can cover their own beauty services.<\/p>\n

Accommodations the Night Before the Wedding<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you plan to spend the night in a shared hotel suite with your pals on the eve of your wedding, expect to cover the costs. Your bridesmaids<\/strong> may have already split a room with a plus-one for the duration of their stay, and they shouldn\u2019t have to pay for yet another room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
