I am a little confused as to who pays for the shower??? My mom and sis (MOH) are not loaded. Would love for someone to clear this up for me!

Re: Who pays for the shower?
i think usually your bm's all pay and usually maybe your mom contributes

Usually BMs and moms. I offered to help out too since I'm the one that gets the goods but they didn't accept.

Re: Who pays for the shower?
I heard that Maid of Honor is supposed to, but I was recruited once as a Maid of Honor (for a failed engagement) and I honestly had no clue it was my responsibilty. Maybe there is a nice way to clue them in.
As for me, I have no bms, I have no bm drama... I'm so happy I made this decision and sticking to it.
So my very sweet and wonderful sister is organizing a simple brunch. I love her, I can't believe she is doing so much.
But I kind of think people will end up briging some money gifts to pay for their plates.

Re: Who pays for the shower?
My mom is paying for mine and the girls are decorating and doing favors.
I have been in weddings where we-the bridesmaids paid- and that was totally cool to.
How many bridesmaids do you have?
Also, do you think you would have a lot of people? I've done a house shower before and the bridesmaids or close friends brought stuff and it was really great and elegant. We did an afternoon tea, it cost very little and was intimate and great.
If there is something I have learned in this process, the most expensive isn't always the best or in the best taste.

Typically it's your BM and your mom. In my case my mom is paying for the whole shing-dig.

Re: Who pays for the shower?
My mom and sister are paying for my bridal shower.
Like I told my mom I want something at home in the back yard that is easy.
tradition says MOH hosts and bp helps but these days anything goes. Tell mom and sis to speak with your bridal party about everyone chipping it..this is the norm today!

Re: Who pays for the shower?
My Mom & Step mom each kicked in $500- each. My MIL is paying the balance. My sister (MOH) along with another bm seem to be doing the other things favors, cake, invites.. Since I know when it is I have even been doing a few things.....only few people know. LOL I know, I know..I shouldn't since my shower. LOL

Re: Who pays for the shower?
Usually its BMs and Mom. My MIL paid for mine since my BMs idea of a shower was NOT something I would have liked

Re: Who pays for the shower?
My parents paid for 50% my sister paid 25% and then asked the remaining bridesmaids to pitch in the rest plus a combined gift. So in the end everyone worked together.
My SIL, sister, jackie and Vicky all pitched in to by my butterfly lenox collection. I loved my shower.

Usually it's the BP and the bride's mom. In my case my sisters (MOHs) paid for mine (my mother was not really involved in my wedding much).
There are definitely ways to have one that don't cost a lot and turn out great

Re: Who pays for the shower?
a shower can be a family members home, it doesn't have to be a catered affair at a hall
