Bridal Party Attire Question

I am having a small bridal party. (3 girls, 3 guys) Two of the girls are my cousins, and will be in college when I get married. Two of the guys are my & FH brothers, both of which are just out of college, and don't make a lot of money. The other girl & guy are friends of ours, who are our age & have good jobs that pay well. We were thinking of paying for the BM dresses for the 2 in college & for the tuxedos for our brothers, since we know it will be a financial burden for them. Would you be annoyed if you were one of the two I wasn't paying for, even though it wouldn't be a financial burden in any way for you? All honest opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I wouldn't be at all offended -- I would just be careful to chose a dress that is within your friend's budget.

I would not be offended but I would also consider the amount of the dress that I was picking. You should tell the other girl why you need to pay for the dress for your two cousins. I am sure she will understand. But talk to her about it.
