My maid of honor and I have known each other since the 1st grade and are best friends. We have always been super close and talked about our weddings our entire lives. Fast forward to me getting engaged, she was of course super happy but hasn't helped with anything wedding related! Shes listened in times I've felt overwhelmed and came dress shopping with me but that's about it. It has come time to start discussing my bridal shower and I had to be the one to bring it up and asked her if she was willing to help plan it. She said she can if my mom helps her. She's a student and works so I understand being busy as I'm in the same boat, but at this point, I'm just planning my shower myself(which I don't mind but I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to). I don't want to cut her and really doubt I will, but I also don't know if I'm expecting too much from her?

Also, side question kind of related, what can you ask MOH/bridesmaids to pay for? Our budget is pretty tight but we offered to pay for the bridesmaids' dresses at the beginning, so is it fair to ask them to pay for hair/makeup?

    Bridesmaids and MOH pay for their dresses (having been consulted privately first about their budgets). Anything else that is required by the bride--hair, makeup, shoes, jewelry--the bride pays for.

    The job of the bridesmaid/MOH is to show up sober in the dress and smile for the pictures.

    If no one offers you a shower, no shower. If no one offers you a bach. party, no party. You give your own wedding, but not your own parties.
