Who pays?

Who pays?

Who pays for the flowergirl dresses and Jr BM dresses? I have 3 flowergirls and 1 Jr BM... do I pay?

My hesitation is that it would help alleviate only 3 of 5 bridesmaids costs.. What about the other 2 BM's?

So.. what are you paying for when it comes to BM expenses...other than their gifts obviously...??

Re: Who pays?

All bridesmaids and the flower girl are paying for their own dresses. I plan to give them great gifts though!

Same here! I have alot of girls in my BP and theres no possible way I can afford to help pay for anything. I've been a BM a few times before and I've never had the bride pay for anything for me, except give us a gift

I think the parents pay for the flower girl dresses. I have agreed to pay for the shoes, jewelry and hairstyling costs, along with the little flower girl gifts.

Re: Who pays?

everyone asks 'who is supposed to pay?'

it is generally the responsibility of the people asked to be in the bridal party to pay for their own attire.

HOWEVER, you can choose to do anything you wish.

I have made arrangements with my BP and I will be purchasing 2 dresses. I will not be giving the those girls a gift.

I will also be purchasing the flower girls' dress because it is ahuge burden on their family.

My choice.

Re: Who pays?

You can do whatever you like but I have 3 flower girls (my nieces) and my sister paid for all of there dresses. We bought them at Attis so they were pretty cheap. All the BM & Jr BM are paying for there own dresses also, I don't have enough $$ to pay for them all, I would love to help them out if I could of but they all understood

Re: Who pays?

They are paying for their dresses and shoes. I'll probably pay for their jewelry and a tiara for the fg.

All bms are paying for their dress and well as JR bm..JR bm is my little sister and my mom order her dress already.

im thinking of buying the FG dresses if I find a good deal but im leaning towards no right now.

Re: Who pays?

we are very traditional so all of the BMs and Jr. BM (well their moms) are paying for their dresses.

I am paying for the FGs, all 3 of them

as the bride you arent responsible for paying (necessarily) for anything for your WP exc. how they get from the ceremony to the reception.

ebay seller butterflyxc has amzing dresses for next to NOTHING. a few LIWers have used her with good reviews. I found my FG dresses here.

Re: Who pays?

i think normally the parents pay but i am paying for my flowergirl and ring bearers attire. i really dont see why the parents of the kids should have to take upon that expense.
