LadyMonk in Etiquette and Advice, on August 1, 2014 at 12:56 PM

I'm not requiring my bridal party to go to a salon for their hair and make-up: I'm doing my own hair and make-up is being done by a Mary Kay friend. I've given my BM's an option of using the Mary Kay...

My bridesmaids are kindly planning a shower for me, but I have a small dilemma: I feel that I have been blessed and have more than most of my friends. It's not that I don't need or want gifts...
