How much did you spend on each bridemaid

just curious
FH thinks I shouldn't spent more then 50 each. is this reasonable? with all the add ons I have for each it would be a little more like $$$

Re: How much did you spend on each bridemaid

I agree...I was going to go and buy them all sorts of goodies and a tote to put them in...and that adds up like you said..so instead I decided to buy their bridesmaids dresses...if I have extra money at the end I might get them each another little something.

i'd say in the end, with the engraving, the ribbon and heavy paper and the handmade necklaces, we spent near $50 but for sure not over....possibly even just $40.

i don't see the point in spending too much on it...just seems silly.

Re: How much did you spend on each bridemaid

i have 3 girls, so far i've spent 140 for each of their dresses and will be paying for their makeup or hair on the day of the wedding.... that's another 60 bucks.

I was also thinking of throwing in some small gift but a friend of mine said that's enough. $200 is alot of moolah per girl!

Oh yeah and I got guilt-tripped into paying for their dresses by one of my very outspoken bridesmaid as some of you already know. :P

Re: How much did you spend on each bridemaid

I'm spending alot. I only have two MOH, two FG, and two BMan.

So far I got each girl a $90.00 GC to have airbrush makeup done that day.

I'm getting them each a GC for thier hair to be done.

Then I want to get them jewlery to wear to match the dress.

I am getting each of them something for them and not to use the day of the wedding.

Also, a spa day Friday (wedding is Sat)

The FG each got a beautiful pearl and swaroffsky crystal bracelet. $38.00 each

I am going to do a little something for them but I'm not sure yet what it is.

I got the FG sunglasses too. They are 3 y.o.

The Best Man's gifts are up to FH.

So I guess about 400.00 per girl and 150.00 per flower girl.

Re: How much did you spend on each bridemaid

Fh was going to spend like 35 per guy, now it's up to 50, i am like whoa!.. the guys do NOTHING! girls had to do shower, dresses, shoes, fittings, etc etc.. anyway, i am spending about 50 per girl.. not sure about MOH/MatronOH yet... the girls getting hair and makeup done with my girls at my parents i am chipping in another 30 for them for that... i felt hair was a little more than fair, but i love the girl so much i didnt think it was fair for the BM to pay so much for hair...

Re: How much did you spend on each bridemaid

SO far I am at about $50 a girl (The two MOH's will also get a $100 spa wish gift certificate). I got them freshwater pearl sets, straw bags and flip flops. I am sure over the next few months I will find more stuff to add in!

Re: How much did you spend on each bridemaid

Hi I am not sure how much mine will come to... I have 1 MOH and 6 BM (I might have two more: Been tossing the idea) - I have already started shopping... and picked up a couple of things! FH thinks I am CRAZY! But I LOVE buying Gifts... I am having FUN! That is the BEST part of it! As I get closer I will see how much it will come to ~ If I put a budget on it I know I will go over anyhow!
