Paying for bridal party accomodations

***my bridesmaids are staying in a house, meaning renting an airbnb. Also I'm paying for my night that I'm staying in that airbnb, they arent covering that!

I think if they all agreed to stay in the AirBNB, they can cover their costs. I’ve also always paid for my accommodations for weddings I’ve been in. If you presented it as the place for them to stay without allowing them an option of getting accommodations elsewhere, I’d say you’d need to cover it.

If I were traveling to a wedding as a guest or a bridesmaid, I'd assume I was paying for my own accommodations.

My bridal party rented an Airbnb, with their significant others, and paid themselves.

I have never heard of the bride and groom paying for theit bridal party's accommodations. We didn't pay for ours nor did they expect us to.

I don't think it's necessary to pay for their accommodations. I've been in weddings where I had to travel out of state for it and I paid for my own hotel. For our wedding, one of my FH's groomsmen is coming from New Jersey. We got him a discount on a hotel b/c I'm an IHG employee but he is still paying for his hotel.

We're not paying for our wedding party's accommodations nor do i think any of them have that expectation. We have a wedding block in which a room discount is included. I have offered to pay for my bridesmaids hair and makeup if they would like it done as my gift to them for being a part of our special day.

I am assuming they will be but if they will be staying in town the night of the wedding, they should cover their own accommodations but you can see if you can rent the house for an extra night and have them all split the cost. That might be cheaper than them all getting their own hotel rooms.

Great, thank you everyone!
It seems for the most part the bridal party covers their own accommodations. Does it change things if I found the airbnb for them? I didnt really give them other "options"per say, but I asked what people were comfortable spending and it was within the range. I wouldn't FORCE any of them to stay there if they said they didnt want to stay there, I guess I'd just have to absorb the cost. It's the same cost as hotel rooms in our hotel blocks would be, but it comes with a full kitchen and living area, breakfast and the full house, more personal amenities, everyone is together, etc. Does that change etiquette/if I should pay since I found/booked the place myself, or not really, because it's the same cost as what the other options would be? I was going to divide the total cost among the 5 of us, even if I am only there one of the 2 nights. And then people could split their cost with their significant other if they wanted to. The wedding we were in, we (wedding party) paid for our airbnb that the bride and groom found for everyone to stay in, so I thought that was protocol.

I've never heard of that. We didn't pay for our wedding party and as a bridesmaid/groomsmen we've never had it paid for for us. I think if you require people to stay in a specific airbnb or vrbo, or a specific hotel, you should pay for it. If it's optional and they can pick, they can pay.

I've always paid for my own accommodations!
