Paying for girls hair/makeup

I am sleeping over my MOH's house the night before the wedding for convienence. I hired one of the bridal assistants for my hair and makeup. Its $275 for my hair and makeup and to follow me to the first dance. Each of the girls would be $40 each for hair and makeup! There is NO WAY I can afford that! I would love to give that to them but $80 a girl (even $40 for just one thing) is way beyond my budget. I feel bad because I think the girls are all getting together at my MOH to sleep over too... Is it rude of me to tell the girls (the truth obviously) I would love to treat them but we cant afford it but if they pay they can have it done too... I dont want to seem rude or selfish. What do I say?

I wouldn't think that they assume you are paying for them-- at least they shouldn't--what you can do is tell them that the makeup/hair person is doing you and if anyone is interested it is $xx dollars-- My bridal party is getting their hair done with me but none are interested in the makeup-- and they knew from the beginning this was on their expense--its part of being in the wedding Laura

I agree. I've been in a couple of weddings and the bride just told us if we wanted to get our hair/makeup done we could and the cost would be $$$. So don't feel bad about that. Just be upfront with them. They are excited about being a part of your special day, not being treated to a makeover. Good Luck!

I agree - just be upfront. My girls are getting their hair done but no makeup and know that they are paying for it themselves...

I definitely don't think you should feel obligated to pay for them to get their hair and makeup done. For my wedding and for all of the ones I have been in, getting hair and makeup done professionally was left optional. That way no one is required to spend the money. You should just tell them the truth.
