Who pays...

Hey ladies!

Who is 'supposed' to pay for the bridal party's makeup? Do they pay for it themselves or do I pick that up? Not sure what protocol is and I don't want to look cheap if I should be paying for it! Thanks so much!!!

its all a matter of preference, if you can afford it, you can pay for it, or if you want to be nice, take care of the tip for the makeup....

i am not paying for my girl's makeup. I told them they can have it done, or if they want to do it themselves, that is fine too.

You don't HAVE to pay for them, but I think if you're requiring that they get their hair/makeup done, you should pay. On the other hand, if they get a choice, it's fine to let them pay. It's up to you.

I paid for MOH (my sister), 2 BM (sister and FSIL), my mother and FH's mother. It was a small bridal party, so I didn't mind. It was expensive, but I felt weird asking them for money.

that can be a toughie....depends on your BP and such. they might not want you to pay...but then again they may say they don't want to pay!

i think i am going to pay for my BP's hair...and ask them to pay for MU that day. kind of split the costs.
maybe consider doing that?

its your choice
I am not paying for my girls, I told them my makeup artist is available if any of them want to take advantage and told them the price. I am not 'requiring' any of my girls to do it though.

i think its really up to you......any wedding party ive been in the bride really only bought the jewelry that will be worn for the girls!!!

im not a cheap person, but i cant afford everything either. ill prob end up buying the jewelry and thats it. (maybe a little something extra, but ???)

everything is so expensive and i just cant afford all of it.

theres nothing wrong with all the girls paying for there own hair/makeup!!!!

hey, when agreeing to be in a wedding party everyone should already know that they are gonna have to dish out!!!

I only have 2 girls in my BP so I already got them gift cert. for hair and make-up. I think if there were more than that I wouldn't do it. I also know that my girls would be OK with the way thier makeup comes out...someone like myself probably wouldn't appreciate it bc I am extremely picky about my makeup.

My MOH paid for her own and my mom paid for the rest.

my girls paid for their own, i didn't request that they get hair and make up done, so it was all on them

Ok awesome! I am not requiring any of them to have it done. It wouldn't bother me at all if they all did their own hair and makeup.

Thank you all for your advice!!! I will let them know the cost of the services and if they want to do it cool and if not that works too!

Thanks again ladies!!!

my girls paid for their own if they wanted it. As much as I would have loved to treat them, I just couldn't afford it.
