Re: Curious Question About Bridal Showers...

The bride's or groom's mom or they split it. I have never been to/in one that the bridal party paid.

Re: Curious Question About Bridal Showers...

i must say that every shower i have gone to has been hosted and paid for by the mob or fob.

and that's probably approx. 15-20 showers.

the only one where it was hosted by a friend was because the mob could not afford it, so the BP did it.

hth!

Re: Curious Question About Bridal Showers...

For my sisters shower, my mom and my sisters and I split everything.

For a wedding I was in 2 years ago the MOH paid for the entire shower.

For my shower I think my mom and sisters are paying for it.

Re: Curious Question About Bridal Showers...

For my shower my Mother and mother in law split the cost for the Hall/food- and my mother paid for the rest of it-centerpieces-decorations-cake-favors-prizes for games

For my MOHS shower (I was her MOH) her mother paid for everything-I just bought the prizes for the games-maybe 50.00

In your experience, who has paid for the bridal showers you have been apart of?

Bride's Mother
Bridal Party
Just MOH
Combo (curious as to how much the girls put in)
Others

I'm very curious... TIA!

Bride's mother (mine and my cousin's), bridal party (non-Italian friends)

Re: Curious Question About Bridal Showers...

For mine, my mom & dad paid for mostly everything with exception to some stuff that my SIL, FSIL & MOH wanted to add.

For my MOH's shower, it was her mom, stepmom, FMIL & the Bridal party...

Re: Curious Question About Bridal Showers...

My mother will be paying for mine. I was in one wedding where the MOB paid. I was MOH for a girl whose mother thought I should plan and pay for the entire thing. When I told her fine but we will be having it at your house and I will cook the food she opted to have it at a restaurant. However I was responsible for the invites, the decorations, the favors and the chair, wishing well and umbrella. I made the invite on MS Publisher, made the candle favors and because I refused to do anything else my mom paid for the balloon CP's and the chair, well and umbrella. No one else in the BP attended nor contributed to it. And the kicker is SHE NEVER GOT MARRIED nor DID SHE TELL ME SHE WASN'T. I found out from my mom who found out from her mom.
Sorry vent over!

for my shower - my mom paid and my mil chipped in (don't ask, it was almost not worth it for the amount she put in)
