How much is an appropriate amount to ask bridesmaids to contribute to a shower? I;m having 4 girls and the bridesmaids are giving the MOH a hard time with $$ amount. I've been in serval weddings but for some reason I can't remember how much i spent.
I really don't know, but if I were you I would try to stay out of it! As the bride I really don't think you should know about the cost of the shower and all that....maybe they can agree on what they can all afford and plan something fun for that price!
I am in the same situation as you!!! FM and we will talk!!!
From my past experience, the MOB and MOH paid almost half of it and we split the difference up between the rest of the BM's but we each all did some thing as well and we got the bride a gift.
my mom is paying for the place...the bridesmaids are all splitting the cost for the odds and ends like invites, decorations, etc.
before we planned my friends we got together and asked each other what we were able to give and that gave us the budget to start searching for a place. as a bridesmaid i guess i would expect spend a few hundred.
I think it really depends on a lot of things. For my sister's shower, most of the BM's had just graduated college and were all super broke so my mom paid for most of it and I paid for the flowers. I've also heard of showers where every1 pays and equal share. My sis was in a shower where everyone had to pay $100 and the MOB paid for the rest. I don't think u should worry about it----let them take care of it!
