Re: Poll: Bridal Party
I am not expecting gifts because all my BMs live in outside NY and have to pay for airfare, hotel, rental car, etc. I do not expect a gift and told them not to get me one.
Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.
With all the added expense of what the bridal party incurs participating in the wedding, do you still expect a monetary gift from them at the wedding? Just curious.....

I don't think any of my attendants would NOT give a gift. They have all been in so many bridal parties and know what is involved in terms of expense. If they couldn't afford to be a part of my day, I would not have been offended. It is a lot to ask of someone. However, my BP (the adults) are well established women in their mid thirties who own homes and have savings accounts rather than a 22 year old fresh out of college looking to MAKE money.
i dunno i would think so..sometimes they all chip in and get something together
With the cost of the tuxes and gowns and bridal showers and bachelor/ette parties, I don't expect anything..... but I would love even just a card from them!
I have to say-all of my the girls I will have are all different when it comes to finances-though I dont expect one from any of them the cost of being in the wedding is enough for me
1 of my BMs is still in college, so i don't expect a gift from her. her mom will give a gift from the whole family. same with my cousin, who doesn't make a lot of money. and some of my BMs will be newlyweds and won't have a lot of money, so i will understand if they can't afford a gift after paying for the dress and stuff. my wedding is for sharing the most important day of my life, not for gifts.
