Is anyone helping their girls with ANY of the cost other than giving them a gift and the rehearsal diner?
Some girls I've talked to have paid for something and other girls say no way. In the end it's do what you feel is best, I know this, but I'm just being nosey. Tell Espo to read this and give it to me straight!
Thanks!

I am paying for my BM's make up as one of their gifts.. They all got their own hotel (most for 2 nights) and all paid for their own dress & shoes...

I'm paying for DOJ, RD, a bridesmaids' luncheon, either their hair or makeup, and a small gift. FH and I are paying for everything ourselves, so we can't pay for much more than that. Their dresses only cost $88 each so it's not a ton of $$ anyway

Re: Are you paying for your Bridesmaids ....
I did ask my girls to get their hair done in an updo, since we are getting married in june and having pics taken at various places including beach and want everyone's hair as perfect as it can get. Make-up is optional. I am buying them DOJ and have bought them this awesome lands end tote, with tons of stuff they like and use, plus i am payiang for their shoes to be dyed. All in all, on each girl I spent about 300 bucks, on their pakages of love, and then come to find out that some of them balk at what they have to contribute to my shower, ugghhh, but i love them all and with soending moiney comes stress i guess.

Re: Are you paying for your Bridesmaids ....
I got them gifts including DOJ... I picked dresses that were very reasonably priced, and only specified that their shoes be gold or bronze, if they already owned a pair, that was fine... and IF I find out I have a few extra bucks right before, I will try to throw SOME $ towards their hair and make up. It wasn't a mandatory request, but most of them choose to have it done. I am already paying for my mom's make up and her dress which is costing me a decent amount. If I had it to give, I totally would spring for more stuff for them. We'll have to see, I'm hoping I can!
