$$$$ and your bridal party

Need some perspective ladies...who is paying for what when it comes to your bridal party?

I am paying for their:
-day of jewelry (I got everyone a necklace, may also get earrings and/or bracelets)
-additional gifts (if I don't do the bracelet and earrings)

They are paying for:
-bachelorette party (don't know any details about that yet)
-dresses
-make up and hair (I'm giving them the option to use my girl or they can go to someone else if they are more comfortable doing so)
-shoes (asking everyone to wear nude, idc what shoe they get; they can choose or use what they have)

Bridal party is NOT paying for:
-shower (besides shower gift)

What is your breakdown?

I am not having a bridal party but my future sister-in-law is doing the same exact thing except, the bridal party and the moms are paying for the shower!

Same here! Except my sister and MOH are hosting my shower at my MOH's house. Lowkey and relaxed AKA not expensive!

I'm paying for the girls hair, they will be paying for their makeup if they choose to have it done (or they can do it themselves I don't mind either way). I will probably be buying their jewelry (most likely just a necklace). They will be paying for their dress, shoes & the bachelorette party.

I'm paying for their jewelry and any other gifts. My MOH is hosting my shower (she may ask the bridesmaids to chip in, Idk I'm not allowed to ask about it lol), they're all paying for their dresses, hair, makeup, shoes (Idc what they wear). I'm not having s bachelorette party so they'll save there.

No.. My bridal party is my best friend (MOH), two sisters (one of whom I literally can't stand) and my FSIL. The five of us would never typically hang out ever together, so I just decided I didn't wanna do anything. I'd rather just have a nice shower and maybe a girls night with just my MOH.

Re: $$$$ and your bridal party

What a great idea! I am not having a bridal party and I can't be bothered with a shower so I am the opposite and I just want a low key nice quite night out with some good friends. It's so good to see that we brides are planning these weddings and events how we want them :) No stress that way.
