Re: question...

I'd say no more than 300. You should ask your girls how much is too much.

Re: question...

Re: question...

I think it depends on the financial situation of most of your girls...but regardless of situations I don't think its fair to ask the girls to pay more than $200...there's many other expenses that come with being a BM and it all adds up really quickly.

Re: question...

good question..
I picked a whole new dress and fabric because I found out that the dupoini or whatever silk was $300 which I thought was too high..i think a fair price is 200 and under

Re: question...

I think 175, I would try to keep it less then 200 just out of respect I mean you don't want your BM's paying an arm and a leg for 1 night.

Re: question...

I thought around $150 would be good but, my BMs seems to think that is to little for a dress so IDK what is right. Someone of them said 300 would be ok and 400 isnt so bad. BUT If I was in a wedding I would not want to pay 400 for a dress...I think 300 would be the max id spend on a BM dress and think it was ok.

I think it depends on your BMs $ situation and there personal style. If they are girls who would go spend 400 on a dress for a wedding just bc they are invited then I wouldnt think it was a big deal bc its their norm ya know what I mean.

Re: question...

I'd probably want to spend total $300 including alterations and shoes.

Re: question...

I would ask your girls what they think; I think the answer to this question can vary greatly.

I am hoping to not have my girls spend more than $150 on the dress.

Re: question...

I've paid $250. I'm trying to keep it at $200 for my ladies...all of which I've paid more than in their weddings..and none of whom thought twice about the price... so its nice.

Re: question...

200 IS THE MAX IMO

Re: question...

I'm trying to keep the dress + alterations under $300.

Re: question...

i wouldnt ask my BMs to spend more than $200..but i also have girls still in college so im really trying to keep it closer to 150.
it all depends on your BMs and their situation (working FT...going to school FT...etc)
