Brides who paid for Bridesmaids Makeup or Hair

Did you count that as part of their gift and get a smaller gift in addition because of this, or was this just an extra? Thanks.

I got them a gift and as part of their gift I offered to pay $40 towards their hair/make-up or towards their mani/pedi. I offered to pay $40 because the hair and make-up was going to cost $125 each and I thought $75 was a fairer price.

I paid for all the girls makeup as an extra part of their gifts. I definitely went a little overboard on them, they also got:

*snowflake necklaces
*small embroided tote bag
*airbrushed tank top
*velour jacket
*VS lugage tags
*e.l.f lotion gift sets

i didnt do that... but yes i would have counted it as part of their gift if not the entire gift depending on how much it cost

Re: Brides who paid for Bridesmaids Makeup or Hair

I'm not paying for either of those, but I did pay for all of their hotel accommodations for two nights. I didn't include it in their gift. I kind of feel like I am paying for them to do something for me (wedding is in CT...so they basically have to stay over), so I should get them a separate, regular gift.
