I've been hearing that traditionally, the couple getting married pays for accomodations for the wedding party. My fiance and I are getting married out of town but where he grew up, so his groomsmen have accomodations with family or in their own homes for free, but my bridesmaids are all staying in a house. I'll be in that house too the night before the wedding and elsewhere with fiance night of.
The weddings out of town we have been in in the past we covered our own hotels, so we assumed the same for our party, but now I'm questioning. Even if we were in my hometown or where we live, most of the bridal party is from out of town one way or the other.
The only "required costs" i have for my bridesmaids to cover themselves are getting are their dresses (about 100 each), I'm letting them choose if they want hair and makeup done professionally or not (so this would be their cost to cover), and I'm covering bouquets, transportation, giving nice gifts, etc.Im feeling guilty not covering one of their nights in the hotel, but my budget is very tight now and it was not a cost I expected. Is this rude/improper etiquette to have them cover their hotel?
