Never before have I heard that the bride pays for the dresses, hair, shoes and accessories for the bridesmaids. Are you all suggesting she also pays for tuxes? Just looking for your experience here...not opinions. What did you do?
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
I wasn't planning on doing it but my boyfriend wants to pay for everything and just wants our friends to show up and be happy. We'll see how that works out.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
usually all the bridesmaids dresses are paid for by the bridesmaids them selves. If the bride can afford it she may pay for them
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
Traditionally the brides father pays for the bridesmaids outfits as well as the brides. The Groom is responsible for his and his Best man outfits. Times change and because of the expense, a lot of the attendants pay for their own. The Groom pays for the Honeymoon, the ring, and the Bridesmaids gifts.
Everything else is up to you although a lot of people have a cash bar at their receptions nowadays.

Traditionally, the bride/bride's father/family pays for the wedding. The bridesmaids buy their own dresses. The groom and groomsmen purchase/rent their own tuxes.
Nowadays it is more common for both families to help with wedding expenses.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
That is not common at all. The Bride can certainly offer to pay, but it is/should not be expected.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
NO! I've never heard of that either. The bride pays for her (usually very expensive gown) the bridesmaids pay for their own and the groom pays for his tux (his groomsmen pay for theirs). The only question is of jewelry and it isn't set in stone. But, many brides will offer their bridesmaids a gift for being in the wedding and she often gives them their bridesmaid jewelry but it can be anything else too. It's totally up to you!
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
I paid for my dress but the bridesmaids paid for their own stuff. Each groomsman and best man is paying for their own tux.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
Is this in response to something? I have never heard that. Tradition holds that the bride may buy her bridesmaids a piece of jewelry as a gift (given to them at the rehearsal dinner) that they can wear for the wedding.
If a bride is well off (substantially more than her attendants) certainly she may CHOOSE to buy other items for them. The dress, accessories, hair, shoes etc are always the bridesmaids' responsibilities.
In all the weddings I've been in I've always bought my own dresses, etc and paid for my own hair styling - it was kind of like part of the gift to the bride. I'm honored to be asked to be a special witness so I will go out of my way to look great.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
I have been a bridesmaid a few times, always paid for my own dress..
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
Well, we went to a place that said you can rent their dresses for $75. The attendants are measured and then the dresses are ordered. When they come in, they do some final alterations on them. You may need to look into something like that.
Oh, and yes, I always thought the bridesmaids paid for their own dresses.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
The brides parents pay for all of it.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
Every wedding I have ever been to and mine they all payed for their own stuff. Sometimes instead of a thank you gift the jewelry or some accessory was bought.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
The bridesmaids pay for their own dresses, shoes, and hair. Mine did. You buy them a gift according to what you want and your budget and give it to them on the day of the wedding.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
unless you are feeling extra generous, the bridal party pays for everythng. its their responsibility to pay for dresses, tux rentals, hari, shoes ect. most of the time the bride gives the bridesmaid jewelry to wear on the wedding day as thank you gifts, but she is not responsible for anything else.
the bride and groom have so many other things to pay for, so they should not be expected to pick up the tab for the bridal party.
my bridal party paid for their things. i gave them each a fresh water pearl necklace that was the invisable wire style, as thank you gifts along with small silver jewelry boxes. and the men we gave them flasks.
i think most people already know that when they are in a wedding they are responsible for paying for them selves.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
The only instances I've ever heard of brides paying for bridesmaids dresses is when there is maybe one particular bridesmaid who can't afford to participate, but the bride really wants her to. Usually, though, this isn't mentioned to the other bridesmaids so no ones feelings get hurt. My bridesmaids are paying for their own dresses and shoes and hair, etc. I'm making their jewelry as gifts. I knew that some of my maids might be on a budget so I chose a really affordable style for about $100. If any of them are really having a hard time, I might chip in a little, but they know I can't afford to buy their dresses for them. Good luck and congrats! BTW, who on earth told you that?
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
God no! I'm getting married in May this year. You don't pay for everything. Really you don't pay for any of these things. You can offer to help them (which I was going to do, but things didn't work out that way). They pay for all of their own things. Now if you really want something that's way to pricey for the girls(or guys) to afford, then I've heard you should help them pay for it or buy it, or you could just change to something cheaper. But if you can't then, yes you may need to pay.
Also make sure that the people you want in your wedding can afford everything, and remind them to save their money! I had this issue. Even though I told them to save, they didn't. So they all couldn't get the bridesmaid's dress I wanted them to wear. So I had to change, which worked out. (They are just buying a dress in the color I wanted which has turned out good. ;-) ) But I still wish they would have saved their money. One bridesmain had to drop out because she didn't have the money, which I understood. But was sad about.
Also if they can't afford things now for the wedding, they won't be able to afford down the road. (Learned that one too. :-P)
Just some things to think about. Good luck though.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
I have either been involved with or invited to about - 12 friends and 10 family weddings, the bride's parents pay for most all expenses, excluding the wedding party and the rehearsal dinner.
The bride picks the dresses and shoes for her bridesmaids, but the bridesmaids pay for them. The bride gives the jewelry/accessories to the bridesmaids as gifts at the rehearsal dinner. Hair is usually done as a group thing, bride's parent's responsibility.
Groomsmen pay for the tuxedo purchase/rental. Groom gives cuff links or other accessories as gift to groomsmen at the rehearsal dinner.
I have only been to one wedding where the bride's parents paid for absolutely everything but the rehearsal dinner. The parents were loaded, but the wedding party was not. None of them had the money to pay for anything on their own.
The traditions have changed drastically throughout the years, but most of the weddings I have been to have stuck to the old school rules...
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
pay for everything...WHY NOT....who knows
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
We paid for the girls dresses, but other than that...my girls have paid for everything else. The only other thing that they really needed to do was...shoes...alterations (if needed) and any jewelery. One of my girls is a hairdresser...so she'll be doing hair...so no charge there. I think usually the bridesmaids pay for everything themselves...but it's up to the bride. :0)
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
NO. The bride does NOT pay for the bridesmaids' dresses, shoes, hair, etc. The bridesmaids pay for it all themselves. The only thing the bride does is later she gives them all a thank you gift before the wedding (like a nice necklace or earrings).
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
The bride does not pay for the dresses, shoes, hair or accessories for the wedding party. It has happend before but only because it was the brides gift to the wedding party and she had extra cash. Its a treat and a gift and its up to the bride if she wants to. But 89 percent of brides do not pay for the wedding party. If your the bride than you need to make it clear to them that they will have to pay for everything expect for their bouqets which you will pay for. Everything else they will have to get. Buying them a nice little gift later says thanks for being part of this party. Examply earings or a necklace. Same goes for the guys.
Congrats

The bridesmaids pay for their own attire-- usually just gown and shoes. Sometimes the bride will just tell the maids what gown to buy and let them wear shoes they already own (saves money and is tremendously more comfortable than wearing shoes someone ELSE chose for you).
If the bride is requiring specific accessories like jewelry, the bride should pay, and if bride is requiring a certian hairstyle, requiring nails or certain salon services, the bride must pay (because otherwise the bridesmaids should have had the option to do their own hair/nails/makeup and save the money).
The bride is also responsible for selecting things that are within a reasonable cost range, for her circle of friends-- there have to be reasonable expectations. If the maids are more of the $150 dress "crowd", it is rude of a bride to tell them to buy a $250 gown!
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
Nope, I have never had a bride pay for anything except hair and make-up for me(because thats an extra that she wants, women know how to do their own hair and make-up) and I paid for nothing they wore when I was a bride.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
I personally paid for my wedding party's dresses and shoes, but they were on their own for makeup and hair. My husband is in the military so his attendants all wore suits or military dress uniforms as necessary.
I did however take part in a wedding recently where I had to purchase the dress, shoes, shawl, pay for my hairdo %26amp; makeup. The only thing I didn't pay for was the flowers. The groom's attendants all paid their portion for their tuxes (they got a discount for renting 8).
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
For our wedding, bridesmaids paid for their own dresses and shoes, guys paid for their own tuxes. My mom paid for the girls' hair. I bought jewellery for the bridesmaids.
However, I have heard of the couple paying for everything for everyone. I all depends what people's traditions are.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
My girls paid for their own dresses. I did buy their jewelry as my gift to them. I paid for their flowers too, but they got the rest.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
I have honestly never heard of the bride paying for the wedding party's attire before. I think it's pretty much universally known that when you are asked to be in a wedding, your dress, hair/make-up, shoes etc are YOUR responsibility. Sometimes the bride springs for the jewelry to be worn, but that's about it. I think I would have dropped dead if any of the brides in the weddings I have been in had offered to purchase my dress/shoes. For those who had the bride buy anything ....lucky you! Honestly though..maybe it's regionally different? But where I live the wedding party pays their own way!
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
The bridesmaids are expected to purchase their own dresses. Keeping this in mind you need to be sensitive to the financial abilities of the people you've chosen to be in your bridal party (meaning no $1,000 Vera Wang bride's maid dresses for a group of 20-somethings starting their careers, etc.) The best resource for these sorts of questions is Emily Post's book on Wedding Etiquette--it outlines what is traditionally par for the course as well as an updated and contemporary understanding of what is acceptable today. The most important thing is to remember that etiquette means being considerate of the feelings of others while respecting yourself--if you have a friend who can't afford the dress, maybe discreetly offer to pay. Or if you want to be generous and splurge on your girls go for it (that's what I plan to do)!
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
My parents paid for the bridesmaids dresses (since my bridesmaids didn't have alot of money), but they had to pay for their own shoes, hair, makeup and alterations themselves. My husband paid for all the tuxes.
The bride pays for everything for the wedding party?
No way darlin!!! Once your attendants agree to be in your wedding party, they take on the responsibility of paying for everything they will need. Some brides do choose to pay for everything, as her gift to the ladies. I have not seen anyone ever pay for the groomsmens' tuxes. Some brides will buy her ladies matching jewelry that they can wear on the wedding day. It jsut depends on what you budget is and how much you can afford to spend without breaking the bank.
