[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to derail this thread, but I find this whole "bridesmaids paying for every thing" for American weddings very cheap and low class.

We are immigrants. When my DD got married, her BFF hosted the bridal shower at our house, but we paid for everything because we felt that the BFF did not have to spend money on top of planning everything.  We also paid for the travel costs, room and meals for their bachelorette party.  DD was adamant that there would be no gifts.  The fact that these girls coordinated their schedules, took time off from work and came together to celebrate my DD for a weekend was already too much of an ask.

For the wedding, I paid for the dresses for the bridal party, hair,  makeup, meals, room, transportation. It is ridiculous to have a bridal party and expect everyone to spring for a dress that they would normally would not buy.  I think that the tradition of having a bridal party should be simplified. Let everyone wear what they want to wear or pay for their matching outfits.[/quote]

I remember when I was first a bridesmaid. I was a broke college student without parental support, and only found out I was paying for my dress when we went to the checkout counter. That went on a credit card that I ended up delinquent on. Such a weird tradition.[/quote]
