Re: Not really sure what to do
I've been a bridesmaid quite a few times. I've always paid for it myself. I think it's important for the bride to either arrange for someone to come to the house or offer to make an appointment at a salon. Tell them up front what the costs will be, and leave it up to them to go with your arrangements or make their own.
I was in a wedding where the bride didn't do either (make an appt or have someone come) - none of the bridesmaids knew the area, we had to be ready by 9am on a Sunday - some came undone...but you can't blame them!!

Re: Not really sure what to do
I thought about either paying for half of there dresses or doing there makeup and after thinking about I felt like it wasnt a gift they could remember my day by or use again. I was thinking of giving out personalized totes and puting beachy stuff in it since they all love the beach and I am getting married end of may so they could use it. I am having someone come to the house for hair and makeup. They have the option of picking what they want but they have to let me know ahead of time so the hair and makeup people know how to schedule themselves accordingly. 4 of my girls arent having there hair done at my house which is fine but I made it clear that they have to be at my house by 9:45 for makeup.

Re: Not really sure what to do
I bought them their jewelry for the wedding and I am paying for them all to get their hair done too!! But, I definiteley don't think it is necessary to pay for their hair. My mother actually wanted to pay for my girls because 4 of them are cousins and she knows they don't have much money!!!

Re: Not really sure what to do
i don't want my BM's to have to do anything besides show up. to date I am covering everything (dress, hair, jewelry), but that may change as the date gets closer. they also may insist on contributing at some point, but i am not counting on it nor do i expect them to...

Re: Not really sure what to do
I think tradition is they get some item of jewelry. I would make them pay for it themselves.

Re: Not really sure what to do
They are paying for hair and makeup, only because it doesn't matter as much to me whether they get it or not. I want them all to look as nice as possible, but they can do it themselves or use my hair and makeup people. I will buy them gifts to thank them for everything they have done for me.
