No way do u have to pay for hair and makeup.....first of all they can do thier own makeup and hair is super expensive, i have 9 bm no way am i gonna pay for all their hair. I think the mani-pedis are a nice gesture.....im not even gonna do that much, im just getting them a tote w/ makeup bag and accessories
I havent heard of that. I know for my sister's wedding she paid for our mani's and pedi's but hair and stuff we were on our own.
ive been in 5 wedding parties and none of the brides paid for hair or makeup
You are not a bad bride at all!!! Even doing a small gesture like buying them each a gift is enough... gifts shouldn't be expected and honestly - that's not the reason they should have agreed to be your BMs in the first place you know what i mean? I think that they will feel proud and honored and loved to be a part of your special day and wont expect anything at all... you're fine dear :)
OMG! NO WAY! I think you're doing more than enough! I was only going to buy their Jewelery! I mean not cheap but still that's it,
i was never planning on paying for their makeup and hair...thats alot i have 9 girls not including little girls...that'd be crazy! so you are def not a bad bride at all lol that make us all bad brides then lol!! dont feel bad n stress urself out its very nice ur taking them to mani pedis and lunch i think thats a great idea!

I think that's nonsense. I would only pay for the hair and makeup if
a) I was rich
b) I was making them wear a specific hairstyle or makeup.
I am leaving hair and makeup as an option for my bms...they can either do it themselves or get it done but I can not pay for it.
What she said!!! Whoever is telling you this either has tons of loot or no concept as too how much weddings actually cost!I'm not paying for their hair/make-up!
I'm trying to make it as cost-efficient as possible for my BM's, so a close friend of mine who is a MAC giel is doing our makeup for practically nothing. I'm planning on taking the girls for their mani/pedi the day before at the salon we're getting our hair done at. This way they can see which hairstyles they would like to do, and get an idea of pricing. I wish I could afford to pay for them all, but we're already shelling out tons of money as it is, so it's not possible. They all understand too, so I'm lucky in that aspect.
I was going to pay for my bm and moh and motb hair and makeup but since my budget got slashed in half I'm trying to cut corners. If they want hair and makeup done they're gonna have to pay for it themselves or if they want to do it themselves its fine with me. I don't think your being a bad bride at all.
I am not paying for pampering anyone. if they don't want your hair done for my wedding i don't care. MY FSIL has very short hair , its almost stupid to pay someone to style it .
I am not paying for it.. and honestly - i do think it is a nice gesture... BUT of all the bridal parties I have been in - no bride has paid for my hair and makeup...
I agree with the rest of the brides, you are a NOT being a bad bride for not paying for your BMs hair and makeup. I've been in a bunch of weddings where I paid for my hair and makeup and weddings where the bride paid for our hair and makeup. I plan on paying for my BMs hair and makeup but only as a gift to them from me. You should not feel obligated to spend all that money after you are already spending a whole lot of money on your wedding! BMs all understand how much a wedding cost and they will not and should not expect you to go over budget just on their makeup! Good Luck
Your not being a bad bride at all!!! I can't afford it for my girls either. I have 7 of them. One girl did tell me she is going to her own make-up and I was a little bridezilla and told her that I asked all the girls to have their hair and make-up done. She got the hint.
