I know that I'm the bride and this is not really my bussiness, but WHO pays for the bridal shower??? FMIL says that the bridesmaids do, but my mom feels like it's her responsibility- I think everyone should put in alittle ... TIA

Re: WHo pays????
In my experience, its always been the MOH who throws the party, with the BP's help. They're the ones who are supposed to be putting in the money for it. But if your mom wants to help, then that's really sweet of her!
A wedding I'm in next month is definitely confusing me on this issue. Even tho I'm a bridesmaid, I haven't received ANY information about the shower, until an invitation arrived last week. Strange. Ends up NONE of us were informed. The MOH and the Brides Mother are running the whole thing, which i great actually because that's less money for me to dish out. lol. But still odd. I called the MOH to find out if the BP were at least all gonna be putting in money for one big extravagant gift, but she didn't even decide that yet... the shower is this weekend. Sure hope MY MOH is more on top of things.

My sister payed for mine, but I decided not to do maid of honors or bridesmaids.
Some of the girls gave monetary gifts to cover their plates.

My mom insisted on taking care of my bridal shower. I won't think I'd have it any other way. I don't think my BM's have the money to do it anyway :/

my MOH is hoping my mom can help out a lot but if she doesn't then she insists that she will thow me one even though i told her it's no biggie if i don't get one. she was NOT hearing that. so one way or another i guess i will have one.

Re: WHo pays????
I know my sister really wants to throw me the shower ..she is the MOH and i know my mom is going to help her... but i was a BM not long ago and us girls had to pay for the shower...the mom didn't contribute anything... !!!

traditionally the MOH hosts with the help of the BP but these days anythign goes.... My mom is paying for mine..but in the last wedding I was in as a maid...I split the cost with the other girls with no help from the mother so every case is different! if your mom wants to pay she can..or she can ask for a few bucks from everyone to help out!

My bridesmaids are going to help as much as they can and so will my mom with money.

I guess I just don't want my MOH to have to take too much out of her own pocket- she has already done SO MUCH... I have 7 girls though so it shouldn't be that bad...

Re: WHo pays????
traditionally its suppose to be the moh & bridesmaids. however my sister (moh) will be in nursing school until i get married & not working very much so my mom is going to pay for it.

Re: WHo pays????
My mom paid for the shower itself -- while my BMs paid for all decorations, favors, party games, etc.
I thought that was pretty fair.

Re: WHo pays????
mostly when I have been in the bridal party, the BMs paid for it all... though your mom can contribute... most of the time to keep it cost effective we would host it in a house and get catered food.
I was told by someone that mothers should not host the event, since traditionally people give gifts at a shower and it would seem like your mom was trying to solicite gifts for you... I don't know if thats true, but so far everyone I know has not had their own parents pay for the shower.
