Who buys wedding parties attire?

It’s still the norm for the wedding party to pay for their own attire. It’d be nice to pay for it if you guys can afford to, but it’s by no means customary or expected.

Generally, each person pays for their own things. It is nice if you can afford to pay for your guys things, but it isn't necessary. My husband got his tuxes from Men's Warehouse and if there were I believe 5 or more you got one free so he let his one nephew have the free one. He didn't want his brother to have to spend anymore money. His brother's four children were all in our wedding so they bought the flower girls' shoes (mil made their dresses), the ring bearer's tux and drove about 10 hours to our wedding.

Typically, everyone pays for their own unless you have the budget to buy everyone’s. Also, unless you know someone struggles financially but still want them in the wedding and offer to support them. I did buy my FG dress because her mom is my MOH.

If you are in the wedding party, you buy your own. Our guys are renting from generation tux and girls from azazie!

View Quoted Comment I agree with this!! We are paying for our attendants clothing, but we are having a very small wedding with two bridesmaids and two groomsmen.

It's still customary for the attendants to pay for their own clothing. If you do go that route, be sure to check in on budgets they are comfortable with.

FH and I wanted to buy the dresses and suits of our attendants but only a couple of them allowed us to do so.

The participants normally pay for their own attire. I asked the MoHs and Bridesmaids to select a 👗that was in my selected color family (closely related), affordable, re-wearable, comfortable, and covered up top.

They were able to find some good deals (2 were able to purchase $40👗es via David’s Bridal clearance (not closely related to the selected color and not totally covered up top) and Poshmark (MoH). The most expensive👗 (other MoH) was from KF Bridal. It was a nice convertible type that will be worn on a 🛳 next month. It really spoke to her.

We did purchase the 👔 and🧦 (Shirts, Socks, and Ties) for all the guys (DH, FiL, Best Man, 3 Groomsmen, and Ushers). That was what DH wanted to do for them. However, the way that we (read I) shop, it was affordable. They wore their own Gray Pants.

Our groomsmen are purchasing their own suits that we had picked out from MW. The set includes: Jacket, pants, vest, shirt and tie. They will have the option to wear their own selection of brown shoes and a brown belt, so some may or may not have to purchase that. I have heard of others purchasing the attire for the bridal party, so it really is whatever you are comfortable with!

At least where I live, it's still the norm for the wedding party to pay for their attire. Unless of course you're requiring something pretty pricey, or specific shoes, jewelry, etc. I am paying for my flower girls attire because both of their parents are in the wedding party as well and that's four outfits I'm asking from their family. Sometimes couples pay if they know a member isn't financially able to, but they still really want them in their wedding. It's different for everyone!

Everyone is still expected to pay for their own attire. HOWEVER, if you are planning on having them wear something significantly more expensive than normal and they say they need help with it, it is nice to give it.

Because of the particular tartan we are using, the guys' kilts cost over $300 each. We paid for his brother's (brother has no extra finances whatsoever and we live with him for now). We loaned the money for the former brother-in-law who is serving as best man because he wasnt going to have the money to get it in time. If you're having them get a normal suit under say, $200, they should expect to pay it. If you are going extra expensive, expect to pay at least a little.

As long as the wedding party is consulted prior about their budget, they can pay for their own attire. We covered men's ties, socks & pocket squares since we wanted specific ones.

It's common for the wedding parties to purchase their own attire, but if it's in the budget to buy for everyone that's always a nice gesture!

I paid for my BM's dresses because I think it's really crappy not to (essentially charging your friends for the honor of standing up in your wedding). Unfortunately, that's not the norm - I've paid for every BM dress for weddings I've been in. It's very typical. If you can afford it I would definitely suggest paying.

Traditionally, the bridesmaids and groomsmen buy their own attire. However, there are always exceptions, and special circumstances. For example, if you have a bridesmaid who is on a really tight budget, and can't really afford an expensive dress, you can buy it for her, or offer to pay for part of it, etc.

Remember that these are our nearest and dearest who we ask to stand with us on our most special day. It's nice if you have it in your budget to offer to help defray some of the costs of being in a wedding. For mine, I'm buying my girls' shoes, and also paying for one of the pro services (probably makeup) for the wedding.

All of my girls are bought their own dresses, the guys will buy their own outfits and the ring bearer/flowers girls parents will be buying theirs.

I've seen weddings where the couple pays and ones where the party pays for themselves. In my case for the groomsmen we bought their ties and suspenders but the other parts such as dress shirt and pants they got themselves. The bridesmaids I allowed them to choose their own so they paid.

I've always purchased my own. But my FH also thinks he needs to buy his grooms mens suits. I didn't want to fight about it so I said fine but that's coming out of your money since he hasn't contributed financially to this wedding yet.

My bridesmaids are paying for their own dresses because it's just not in my budget, especially because I can't count on FH to make any contributions.

Wedding party buys their own attire!

To offset our bridal parties attire (the dresses were a tad more expensive than we planned but 100% worth it) I'm giving them their shoes and jewelry as their bridesmaids gifts so they don't have to worry about any of that!

The norm is definitely for the bridal party to pay for their own attire! I've never personally seen or heard of it the other way around. Maybe only offer to pay if it's really an issue for someone and they truly can't afford it. Otherwise you expect to pay for your own outfit when you agree to be in a wedding.

He doesn't have to. if he would like to pay for it as a gift to them he could. But most people have the bridal party purchase their own attire and then give gifts separately at the rehearsal dinner.
