What are you asking your bridesmaids to pay for?

I'm paying for hair make up. They're paying dress and shoes.

I think they're also throwing me a shower.

They will pay for part of their dress & hair (if they want to do their own, that's fine too!).

I am having them pay for their dress/makeup/hair/shoes but if the hair and make up is optional. If they want to do it themselves, they are welcome too. If they want it done professionally, they are welcome to that too.

They are only required to get a dress in some shade of green, show up one time, and not be hung over from the rehearsal dinner. They are coming from Hawaii and Boston to Indiana. I don't care about shoes or makeup. I will gift them their hair-do for the day and give jewelry in their gifts.

One thing that is etiquette is: if you are asking your bridesmaids to have their hair and makeup a certain way, it is not good to make them pay for the style you require.

I am having them pay for dress/shoes(anything just neutral toned)/anything that they agree on as a group for the wedding. i.e party things/showers/whatever.

I am paying for bouquets (I have no idea who would make them pay for this on their own lol)/makeup/hair/getting ready robes [with no monograms so that they will use them later on]

I'm paying for everything but alterations.

They are paying for their dress, shoes, hair. We are doing our own makeup and I am getting them a gift. I purchased everything for all bouquets and since I am DIY'ing it with help from the BMs, I am feeding and boozing them at each DIY project.

@futremrs.jkr I saw someone said they were asking their girls to pay for the bouquets! So crazy!! I'm not asking for specific looks or makeup, I just know that I will want them to have it all up, and they can pick the style from there. Same goes with makeup, just a soft neutral look.

Dress and shoes. They can get my girl to do their hair and/or makeup if they want. Not requiring, so I am not paying.

My bachelorette-planning BM has asked each of the girls going for $150.

I am paying for their bouquet, jewelry, and presents.

They will pay for their dress, shoes (I'm letting them wear whatever shoes they want), and hair/makeup if they decide to get it professionally done.

@MrsDedo-that is ridonculous!!! Yeah, If there are not specific styles, it doesn't really matter. I would just hate to be a bridesmaid to a bride that had a lot of expensive requirements and have to pay for them myself! That would be a nightmare

I didn't realize some asked their BMs to pay for their bouquets, that's a bit much. Mine are paying for their dress and if they want hair and makeup done, they can but it's not required by me.

Hair and makeup should never be required of bridesmaids. If you require them to get hair and make-up professionally done, you pay for it. If they have the option to do it themselves, they can choose to get it done (and pay for it) or do their own.

Bouquets are not something that bridesmaids should EVER pay for - they are part of the wedding budget, which BMs of course are not responsible for.

And lastly, jewelry worn on the wedding day is not a gift. It's part of their wedding attire which is more for your vision and your photos than for them. I would never consider that a "gift".

They are paying for their dress and shoes. I am paying for their hair. (Since I want my hair and MUA to come to my hotel room the morning of the wedding and in order to make that happen she requires bride plus 3 for services so I am paying for my girls hair). I am not requiring their makeup to be done professionally so if they want it done they can pay for it. At this time I am not requiring my girls to wear jewelry with their dress. If I change my mind I will purchase it and it will not be a part of their gift. Their gifts have nothing to do with my wedding.

They paid for their dresses. They're picking their own shoes and jewelry so they'll pay for that as well. I'm covering hair and makeup.

The only things they have to pay for is shoes $30, alterations and make up if they want it done by MUA. I am not having a shower and if I do a bachelorette party it will be like a spa session. With dinner.

The jewelry is not the entire gift by any means, just a small piece of it. Also I think I may switch and pay for hair instead of mani/pedis and make the makeup optional.

They are paying for their dresses. I'm letting them pick their shoes. Hair and makeup can be self done, and if they want it done by a pro it's up to them to pay.

For June I am paying for everything

August they will buy there Attire, hair, and makeup. Well that's the plan I already have a feeling I will be covering everything then too. I don't think were doing a bridal shower or bachelorette party.

They paid for their dresses and I'm letting them pick whatever shoes they want to pick (they're paying). Hair and makeup will done on-site but it's optional..so if they want it, they'll pay for it.
