Who tradiontally pays for the Bridal Shower? My sister thinks that the MOH(her) and the BM's pay for it. While one of my BMs is saying that the MOH and the MOB pay for it.
So who pays for it?

MOH, BMs, and MOB. My mom is paying for it/planning it mostly on her own but the BMs are helping.

this is what I thought. But one of my BMs was saying she thinks it is just the MOH and the MOB, but in her defense she said she really wasnt sure, she just thought that was how it went.

Re: Who...
When I threw one for my sis like 7 years ago, I paid for the whole thing myself.

Re: Who...
TRADITIONALLY.......the MOH and BP pay.....NOT the bride's parents, because they are your relatives and relatives are not supposed to ask for gifts for you.
But it's much more common now for MOB to chip in, if not pay for it all. My mom and FMIL are splitting the cost, but my MOH's and BM's are helping to organize it.

Traditionally its your BMs....but my mom is paying for mine.
I think if the MOB can pay for it that its a nice thing to do...I know when I was in my MOH's BP I would have been really pressed to also help pay for her bridal shower...being a BM is really a lot of $$ without paying for the shower as well.

its really up to the MOB and MOH to tell the BM's if they want them to contribute... has this particular bm been in other weddings...
ive been in enough to know that some MOH's and MOB's do it on their own... whereas some ask the BM's to contribute... but they should really be discussing this amongst themselves...

Re: Who...
I always assumed that it was the MOB...........my mom and I paid for my sisters shower........we didn't expect nor would we have asked for any $$$$ from the BM....

Re: Who...
So if my MOH were to ask the BMs to contribute money, it wouldn't be weird? My MOH(My sister) was going to ask them, but anothe BM told her they usually dont pay, so my sister was a little confused on what to do.

Re: Who...
according to etiquette the mob is NOT supposed to pay for the shower
Bridesmaids’/Honor Attendants’ Expenses
* Purchase of apparel and all accessories * Transportation to and from the city where the wedding takes place * A contribution to a gift from all the bridesmaids to the bride * An individual gift to the couple * Optionally, a shower or luncheon for the bride
from emily post
it is becoming more common for mothers to host, but really it is not her responsibility-its looked at as trying to acquire gifts for her daughter
so therefore, it really is your bms responsibility to at least contribute something financially

Me too though my MOH got stuck with quite a bit more of the funding due to the lack of cooperation and consideration on the part of two of my BM. If you want proof...take a look at two of the pics from the wedding. OOpps, can't post yet...when I get the CD I'll post them. You can all help me write captions. LOL That should be a contest. God I need to win Mega Millions.

Same here. My BP is helping my mom.
Traditionally it's the MOH throws the shower with the rest of the bridal party. MOH usually plans everything and then asks for help from BP.

Re: Who...
it can be whatever. in my case, my mother paid for all of it. but i know some MOH's and BM's pay for it. or they can split it three ways.... i dont think there's one set way..

Re: Who...
i think traditionally the bridal party or moh paid...but its becoming more coming for the MOB to pay.
in my case...my mom is contributing and my bridal party is splitting the remainder of the costs.
