Hello! So, my bridesmaids are spending about $500 each to be apart of my wedding. Which is a lot. But the dress I had them get was only $80, I told them to wear shoes/jewelry of their choice, and hair and makeup can be done by them. The bachelorette party I offered to do for about $50 each, and I asked for no bridal shower. Instead, my bridesmaids made the bachelorette party about $300 each and each spent $60 on my bridal shower plus they bought me gifts. Which I’m really thankful for, but now I have bridesmaids who spent $500 on my bridal shower and I’m on a budget!!!
So here’s what I came up with, and I need to know if it’s okay or not:
I got them each a designer necklace, not to wear at the wedding, but it’s kendra Scott so super popular here in Texas, a pink travel mug with a lid and gold lettering that says “lipstick and lattes” (just something cute I thought they’d like), I can’t afford robes so I just got comfy tank tops and I’m ironing on “bride tribe” on all of them to wear the day of the wedding while we’re getting ready, a bottle of champagne and a Starbucks glass bottle of coffee, and then I’m hand making them tote bags with their initial on it to put everything in. Im
going to try to make it look really cute... But I’m not sure if this is more like a “bridesmaid proposal” type gift or does this count for their gift for being in the wedding??
