Plate Wedding Party
Why do brides expect their bridesmaids?
To pay for so much? The engagment party gift, shower & gift, dress ,shoes , hair makeup ,bachelorette party,wedding gift etc!! Its insane , I know I could have declined but I didnt realize how expensive it was going to be.
Heres what my latest freinds wedding has cost me
$100 engagment party gift
$385 bridal shower contribution
$215 dress
$45 alterations
$50 shoes
$40 hair
$75 makeup
$ ? bachelorette party (she wants an overnight in atlantic city)
$ 200 actual wedding gift,the plates at her wedding are $90 so i have to cover that at least for my guest and myself!
Is it like this everywhere? I live on long island & ive heard in other parts of the country weddings are more relaxed.
Yeah, thats typical for our area, though I do think the $400 for the bridal shower was a bit much, did that include your gift or just the restaurant payment, if no gift then I think you overpaid. Somebody chose a too fancy place for a shower.
I’m in Jersey, and that sounds about right for our neck of the woods, remember things are alot more expensive up here in the North East, so that means right off the bat that we’ll be paying quite a bit more than say a bridesmaid in Nebraska.
A tip for AC, try to find someone who has been to a hotel over night, most of the time you get free night offers once you have spent the night and gambled, so that may save you some cash there, also, try to steer clear of the Borgata, Ceasars and Bally’s they are the more expensive hotels. Try Harrahs, thats where we always go, its a great casino, almost completely redone recently, but its not on the boardwalk so its a little less expensive. If you want to stay on the Boardwalk try for Showboat or Tropicana (which was also recently redone, its not so orange in there anymore).
I will say this, its a grey area, but I dont like the fact that you have to pay for your hair and make-up to be done a certain way. Most women are capable of doing these two things on there own and I consider them extras that the bride wants so she should pay for them. Most grilrs couldnt make their own dresses and shoes so it would make sense that you would pay for those items, but that hair and make-up thing just kills me. Unfortunately you cant do anything about it though, but with that, I am on your side! You shouldnt HAVE to pay for something you can do by yourself.
I just got asked to be in my cousins wedding next May, so I am about to enter into what you are going through yet again. If I could try to spin this in a positive light, think about it this way, this is probably one of your really close friends, so spending the money on helping her have an awesome wedding experience will be worth it when its all said and done. And just remember, your turn will come, you’ll have all this stuff one day for yourself as well!
Good luck!
