Are you paying for...

Original post by BrideC

all the BM's hair and make-up for day of?

I have 7 girls in my bridal party and my MOH hinted to me that they want me to pay for it. Being only 23 I just don't have the money to do it.

I've only been in one wedding in which we payed for everything ourselves. I want to help them out but don't know what the expectations are.

Should I pay for all of them, hair and make-up?
Should I pay for half of it?

Help girls!!!

@ WeezyGirl2354 - I tend to do that without realizing.. lol im just being real.. i was living in the clouds for 2mths when i start planning and then my FH and I started totaling our numbers...whew!! that brought me back to reality

@ BrideC - i know ! trust me, there is going to be more of that along the way.. just be firm & stand your ground! otherwise you will have a ' being too nice' bill... trust me, that happens to me during the holidays.

i have 7 girls and 23 as well...... and i am not paying for their hair and make-up. i can't afford that. i was also thinking of paying for one of them, but idk yet. i definitly can't do both tho. everybody does what they can do or afford to do. ur MOH should understand that.

Nope, I'm not paying for it. I'm not requiring them to get their hair or makeup done in any particular way, nor am I requiring them to go to my salon. They can go wherever they'd like.

Im leaning towards paying for my girls makeup as part of their gift as well as their jewlery. Hair and nails will be up to them.

I think I am going to give them $50 towards it.

That was an option I was thinking of too! Just pay for part of it, if we go to the same place or give them $ towards it (if I can afford it) if they do their own thing.

I have been in MANY weddings, I am the last of my siblings and friends to get married. No bride has ever offered to pay for my hair or make up. I am going to pay for the girls make up but have them pay for their own hair.

No I am not. it was there choice to get hair and makeup. Everyone immediately said yes to hair but is still deciding on makeup as she doesn't need to exact count yet.

i'm paying for makeup and having them pay for their hair. i feel like they would probably be paying for hair even if i didn't make them get it but not so much with the makeup. since i want them to have both i'm paying for the makeup.



took the words out of my mouth! same here
