[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would’ve flipped my lid if I had to pay for some or all of my friends’ bridal showers when I was in their wedding parties. I was broke in my 20s and could barely afford the dress, bachelorette trip, gifts, etc. Where I’m from it is assumed that the mother of the bride will pay for it. [/quote] It was not a young/contemporary aged friend. Historically it was an aunt, an older cousin, your mother's close friend, etc. Someone a half to a whole generation older than you with disposable income and a home in which to host. Food was upscale tea party style food, prepared by the host and maybe another woman, not a full meal and not hosted at some expensive restaurant or party venue. Maybe young women today who need their mother to host have impossible standards that no one else could or would be willing to meet. [/quote]
