How to let the Bridesmaids know that they are responsible for hair and makeup?

I've never been a bridesmaid but from the text I read, I never got the message you're telling them that they're on they're own to pay for it. Why don't you just be up front about it?? I didn't have a bridal party so I never had to deal with any of this so luckily

I would mention that you can't afford to pay for theirs to be done so it is clearly stated and no misinterpretations are there

I think your text is pretty clear that it's their responsibility. I agree with Sarah though, the line about "I don't require" feels kinda odd.

ETA: Maybe to make things extra clear, you can include pricing info in the text? Like "If you chose to use her services, it will be $XX for hair and $YY for makeup. "

I might be a little bit more straightforward. So, I would change it up to something like @Sarah suggested, just so there's not any confusion.

I don't think it's necessary to say you "can't afford to pay for theirs"

just say "if you guys want to use her, great, here's her info, she requires payment day of" or whatever her specific terms are.

Maybe add something like "if you want to use her services it's on you, but obviously there is no requirement to do so as I don't have any particular hair design in mind" I think some people may not read your draft as saying it's on them. You could also add with the let me know "and bring money to pay for it that day or you can pay her in advance"

I would start by asking if any of the ladies were interested in getting their hair and/or makeup done professionally. Say they are totally free to do their own or find their own stylists, but you have pricing info available for the hair and makeup artist you plan to use if anyone else is interested in booking her. And then just share the pricing with those who actually ask to see it.

You can add in a list of her prices so they know they are paying if they choose to use her!

Yes, i would say, hair and make up will be 120 combined or 60 for each, for example.

That's good

As long as you aren't requiring them to hire anyone, I think that's fine.

Bless you for even letting them know ahead of time that they need to secure their own services. My sister did not let us know. My step mom did my makeup last minute and I ran to the nearby beauty school to get my hair done. Not cool on my sister's part.

Sounds good, although I agree that the "I don't require" thing sounds weird.

I'm in the middle of getting answers about hair and makeup right now. I'm just messaging them all individually, "Hey, I'm trying to get a headcount for MuA. Hair and makeup is $50 a piece; just let me know if you're interested."

I said to my BM if you are interested in having my hair done at xyz and it cost about $65, make is at my mom's and is about $50. If you want me to make you an appointment I'd love you to join me. Otherwise lunch is around 1230 at my mom's, ready to put in dresses by 1.

As long as you attach the prices of services, I think they should get the message.

Attach the pricing! I paid for my party's hair and makeup but my best friend is getting married in July and she is not paying for her party's hair or makeup. All she did was send out a text asking to let her know if you wanted hair or makeup and that it would be 150-200 per person depending on what they wanted. It got the point across without saying "I ain't paying for you!"

ETA: Also, give a date that you would need the cash by ..."If you could get the amount to me by (insert date) it would be greatly appreciated", just to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.

I told my girls that I have someone coming to the venue for our hair and it was going to cost xx amount per head. But I wasn't able to pay for their hair to be done. And asked if it was okay and they all said yes. I was upfront with them about it.

When I was talking to my girls about hair and makeup when I booked my girls...I phrased it to reflect the fact that they have options. I told them how much the hair and makeup cost per person and told them it's completely up to them on whether or not they use the service. I only asked that they let me know for a head count. Just focus on their choices and keep it light. It makes the girls feel good about the decision and you too!

Please be upfront with them. My friend is getting married this coming Saturday (yay!!!) and I am a bridesmaid. She sent out a group fb message to the wedding party a week or so ago asking who wanted to get their hair and makeup done with her. She said she needed a headcount and would have sandwiches and mimosas. She never said anything about prices or anything. So I go to work and was asking a coworker/friend if I should assume it's being paid for or if I should plan on paying for it myself. My coworker suggested that I ask the bride what the prices are, because that way I would know by her answer if it's my responsibility or not. Turns out it will be my responsibility (which is fine, I don't mind paying to look nice for my friend) and the makeup is $40 and she doesn't know how much the hair will cost. I am an out of town guest and most of the other bridesmaids are from out of town and already spending $250 a night on the hotel room, Please be upfront when you ask, it might change their mind if they can't afford it.
