[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of financial commitments involved in being a bridesmaid besides just flying out to attend the wedding. You'll need to buy your dress, chip on for bachelorette party and shower (even if you don't go), probably pay for hair and makeup the day of. Tell her with the new baby, you just don't have the time/energy/money to be a bridesmaid hut you'll try your hardest to attend as a regular guest.[/quote]

--Average cost of a bridesmaid's dress is $150.

--The SS may or may not have a bachelorette party.  Going to a club and having some drinks isn't that expensive.  Sitting around someone's living room eating quiche and opening gifts for a shower isn't either.  That's what most of these things are.  Chipping in $50-$100 for each is a lot less expensive then buying a plane ticket

--As far a makeup and hair the day of, sometimes it's just the make up, and if it's not in DC or NYC it will probably be a reasonable rate.  My guess is that it will be less then $100.[/quote]

Some people don't have $350 in their budget for the above expenses.  OP can very well be one of them.  [/quote]

OP here.. more like $800 for a flight ticket for one person.  [/quote]
