Does the bride usually reimburse the bridesmaids the cost of their dresses?
Hmmm...I personally would if that (God for bid) happened to me. I am sure they will understand If I didnt reimburse right away, since I would of lost a ton on $$$. Is this happening to someone you know?
My best friend was in a wedding that got cancelled and the bride offered to reimburse her but she didnt take the money- the bride was already out thousands and she didnt want to do that- but I guess its up to the individuals.

depends on the situation...I think I would, If I was the one cancelling the wedding! It's not their fault the bride cancelled. I think I would! But then again it all depends on the situation!
God forbid it happened for someone I was BM for, I honestly don't think I would even accept the money from the bride. As the bride though, I would probably offer to reimburse the BM.

ya I'd feel weird taking the money, but had I been the bride I think it would be proper to offer to pay. Especially if its like a dress over $175 and couldnt be worn again.

My sister was in one that got canceled - even after they got the alterations. The MOB offered to reimburse the cost of the dresses, shower, etc.
thanks for the input ladies!!!
I think that the bride should offer to pay the party back, however, if I was really good friends with the person and they were totaly heartbroken I would not ask for the money.

I think that it would be the right thing to do, although costly.

I was supposed to be in a wedding and the bride canceled a weeek before the wedding and called and said she owed me money for the dress, etc. I said 'are you out of your mind, you have enough to worry about, don't worry about the money for the dress'. I couldn't even imagine having just canceled your wedding and then worrying about paying everyone back.
I hope your friend doesn't have to cancel.
If it were me and I had the funds, I would reimburse. Unfortunately by the time you pay everything off there usually isn't much left over.
Personally I have been wrestling with this in my own mind.. I want to offer to reimburse my girls if we cancel but then again if we cancel we don't get a dime back and I don't have the money to reimburse right now.. I have been trying to think of a way to offer but let them know that I can't give it to them right away.. and in all honesty I would only have to pay for my MOH and my Jr BM because I paid for my BM's dress and shoes (her husband was laid off for the summer) and she was going to pay me back. Anyway it is a TOUGH thing to have to figure out especially when you don't have the cash up front to say here you go sorry...
