THE STRIPPERS AND OUR INVITATION
For the younger children, you should be nice and buy them their clothes, for the bridesmaids, you should find nice dresses within reasonable prices that you know your bridesmaids can buy. Hair is to be done on their own and their own money.
No you are not responsible for paying for those items. You should however if you can afford it, buy each of the wedding part a little thank you gift and give that to them at the researsal dinner. That includes groomsmen and ushers. Other then that when you ask someone to be in your wedding they are responisble for the cost.
Good luck and congrats on the upcoming wedding.
Traditionally, at least in every wedding I have been in, the bridemaids paid for their own dresses and hair. The parents paid for the flower girl/ring-bearer outfits as well. I threw a brunch the morning of my wedding at the salon, so that was my gift to my girls. A morning of relaxation and beauty.
No you are not responsible for their clothing and hair costs. This comes with accepting. I do however feel you should buy a token of your appreciation for them.
You pay for their flowers (whatever they carry) and any accesories you are require they wear like a certain shoe, earrings, a shawl, etc. If you bring in a hair stylist or makeup artist and want them to use her you usually pay for that. It is very common to give them a gift and a special thank you note at the rehersal dinner for being in the wedding.
They pay for their dresses and any alterations but you should consult with them what price is comfortable for them before you choose a dress.
I have been in weddings where I’ve paid for everything myself, and I received my jewelry as a gift from the bride. I am getting married in September and I decided as gifts to my bridesmaids that I would pay for their hair being fixed, a brunch the day of the wedding and for their jewelry. It basically depends on what you can afford and what they can afford. I know when my brother got married he paid for his best man’s plane ticket to come to the wedding because the best man couldn’t afford it. You aren’t responsible to pay for anything, but whatever you CAN help out with your wedding party will be very grateful for.
Each area of the country is different. It would help you to talk to young married women in your area to see what they did.
Around here, if you are requiring a certain hairstyle so all the bridesmaids match, then the bride pays for them. Otherwise they can do their own hair or have it styled the way they prefer and pay for it themselves.
The financial situation of those you ask to be in the wedding will lead you to the best answer about what you should cover. If you really want a bridesmaid but know she can’t afford all that would be necessary, then you should help pay some of the expenses……..but do it for all the bridesmaids.
Um, well, for some people’s weddings (like in my famiy), the parents buy most of the stuff and all the bridge and groom does is decide wat they want their colors to be, wat kind of dresses the gurlz should wear, a band or dj, wat theme they should hav, outdoor or church, and all the decisions nothing really lyk who pays…
Technically you are not expected to pay for any of that.
However, if you know that your bridesmaids are financially strapped, you could pay a little on each dress as their gift. A lot of my brides are doing that.
Since most parents of small children are not loaded, it might be nice to either pay for these clothes or pay some of them. Maybe your side could pay for the flowergirl’s dress and his side for the ringbearer tux.
If you insist that the bridesmaids have their hair done, then you should definitely pay. If you don’t care one way or the other, then they should pay. If you are going to have someone there to do it if they want it, tell them that ahead of time and how much it will be so they can make that decision. If you insist on everyone having an updo or the same do, then it’s all on you!
the bridesmaids pay for their own dresses and getting their hair done, you should make an appointment though and pick out a dress that the girls can afford. The flower girls and the ring bearer you could pay for their outfits or the parents can it is really up to their situation. The grooms men buy their own but keep in mind their budget when picking out the tuxs. any jewelry or head pieces you want the girls to wear you can purchase as a gift and the basket or pillow the flowergirl and ring bearer use you should also purchase for them
If there are children in your wedding, someone other than their parents should pay for their outfits. This is because children grow fast and don’t dress up often, and so they will only be able to use these wedding clothes once.
Your bridesmaids pay for their own dresses and shoes and hair, but you should make sure that you choose dresses that they can afford. When I was a bridesmaid, the bride was sweet enough to have us get them at David’s Bridal during a special sale week where the bridesmaids dresses were $100 each and the $30 shoes were dyed to match for free. The bride also deliberately chose dresses that complimented us all and would stay in style for a while so that we could all wear them again, and we all REALLY appreciated that. I wore mine twice after that, including one time that another one of the bridesmaids also came to the event wearing the dress and nobody even noticed that we were wearing the same dress because we’d accessorized them completely differently. Gosh, that was a great dress. There was another sale going on at the same time where they’d take $100 off your wedding gown if you bought a certain number of bridesmaids gowns on the same day, and so the bride ended up saving a ton of money on her gown, too.
The bride and groom usually give small thank-you gifts to all the members of their bridal party, and all of us bridesmaids received matching necklaces that we wore in the wedding. It was another nice way that the bride and groom thought ahead to cut back on expenses for everyone.
ur little attendents (flower girls and ring barer)
ur bridesmaides hair make up and thank u gifts!
they buy there own dresses and shoes.
It’s different in the UK, here we pay for the bridesmaids dresses, shoes, hair, jewellery, make-up etc. After all, the bride has asked them to be in the wedding, not the other way around, we don’t expect our friends to pay out to be our bridesmaids, if we did that then no one would be a bridesmaid!! We’re asking them to do us a favour, so it’s not right for them to be out of pocket, well, that’s the view we have here anyway.
Attendants usually pay for their own clothes, but you have to make sure you and your bf are choosing items that are reasonably priced. It’s a nice gesture to pay for the salon visit, though.
Traditionally the bride’s family pay for the wedding, but hey it’s a new century, i chose to pay for the wedding and the groom footed the reception of course we both had help from hour parents. I did not pay for the bridesmaids dresses , but i did pay for there assceories and their nails and hair and shoes. I also chose a wedding dress that was a a reasonable price and some wedding stores will give you discounts on wedding party attire, and also on your wedding dress. But honestly it is up to you and your budget, but I took into consideration that my fiance and I also bought a house so we were very careful with expenses. Hope this information help, and Good luck on your upcoming wedding
That is entirely up to you and what your finances are. Traditionally the MOH, bridesmaids, flower girl, best man, groomsmen and ring bearer purchase their dresses and pay for tuxedo rentals. You are responsible for the flowers and boutonnieres. The women are responsilble for their own hair dos unless you want it a specific way, in that case you should pay for it. If you are having them pay for their dresses you should be considerate to their finances as well. Choose the color you want and choose some different styles of dresses in different price ranges. You can also let them look for style they like and then get together and decide on it. I think it would be a nice gesture to ask them what they can afford. You should buy each of them a gift, which is usually either jewelry, especially if you want them to wear a specific style. If you are not concerned about that then you can certainly offer to pay for their hairstyles and makeup as your gift to them, again only if you are financially able to. Congrats on your engagement.
I owuld buy all of your bridesmaids and flowergirl and ringbearer all gifts for being in you wedding. and let them ride in your limo if you get one,a nd maybe help pay for their hair and dresses and the tux? im not sure but i hope my advice works! good luck and congrats on your wedding♥
