What are the expenses for your BMs and what, if any, are you covering?

I'm just wondering because I only received the dress money from 1 of my BMs. The others still have to get it to me. (I paid off the dresses over the summer). The dresses are $134. One is $164 because it's larger.

Then, one of the BMs (who hasn't paid for her dress yet) asked me if I am going to cover their shoes.

I was planning on covering their hair styling for the day of the wedding....

I paid for about 20% of my BMs dresses, I also paid for JN to do all their make up.

And then I gave them these really pretty pendants from Tiffany's

Um I always thought those expenses were part of what they did, the last wedding i was in i bought the gown, shoes, bag, did the hair, nails, she covered a really great gift, and gave us tanning sessions but they paid for the rest.

my BM's paid for their own dresses and shoes. I am paying for their jewelry. They really don't have anything else to worry about!

I'm paying for their dress, jewelery plus a small gift. In some cases where they are flying overseas I am subsidizing hotel expenses. The BMs are paying for their own shoes - but they get to choose, as well as any hotel or travel expenses. I don't plan on paying for hair or makeup, although I might get them manis and pedis.
