We get to Davids bridal, I'm there with a few members of my BP which included my MOH, 16y/o sister, 13 y/o niece. After they try on the dress that I choose, my sister starts complaining that its too plain then my niece says she doesn't like it (she hates all dresses). At this point I'm getting annoyed but they're kids so whatever But then SIL complains that the dress is too expensive. SIL made such a big deal of it going on and on! she even says shes going to have to put the dress on layaway b/c she couldn't afford it . She made me feel as if I'm inconsiderate and should've picked a less expensive dress. I put so much time into trying to find a dress that I like that is not too expensive, the dress is $168 (tax included) it doesn't even have to be altered. Its amazing how she claims to be so broke yet when we first got there she tells me how they'll be going on vacation in the summer. From the begining she's given me a hard time about everything with the wedding. I feel like my family is so quick to complian but nobody helps me!
Do you think $168 is too much to pay for a BM dress?

no....doesn't get MUCH lower than that, esp. if she's not altering it

Re: BM Dress Drama
that is a great deal for a BM gown! my girls paid $180 before tax and alterations and none of them said a peep. when you accept an invite to be in a BP you know there are going to be costs involved.
you choose what you like because remember this is your day!

Re: BM Dress Drama
I think it's a reasonably priced BM dress.

That's a great price! On top of it to not have to do alterations, she should be thanking her lucky stars!!!!

Not at all... I think that is very reasonable! ESPECIALLY if she doesn't have to get it altered! Some people spend more than that to buy an outfit as a guest to a wedding!

Re: BM Dress Drama
I think that's a fine priced BM dress.... The way I look at it is there will be BM drama one way or another. I had somehere and there, but it all got worked out. I'm sure it will for you as well.

I don't think that expensive at all. Does she understand that it includes the alterations? My BM paid a lot more than that for their dresses.
Is there anyway you can help her since she is intent on causing such a stink about the whole thing and then give cheaper 'thank you' bridal party gifts?

lol thanks...Well I was going to pay $68 toward the dress but I'm sure she'll complain about the remainder. Just to give you a backround she also asked me to change my wedding date b/c it was the only time she'd be able to go on vacation. I ended up changing my date due to financial reasons so when I told her the new date she said she would have to check her schedule b/c she thought it was the day of their annual block party. My brother says nothing!

Re: BM Dress Drama
you can't make everyone happy no matter how you look at it... $168 may be reasonable for some and not others considering their financial situations and other priorities (though you may think their priorities may be off)... and don't think about what other people are doing with their money and not putting it toward your wedding or being in your bridal party... it only makes you angry...

Maybe she was hoping to show up in her block party outfit? ***?
