is this customary?
Question...
I'm the MOH in my friends wedding in September - and her bachelorette party is coming up soon - the bride chose to do a weekend in the Finger Lakes for a wine tour - and 2 of the BM cannot attend - one due to finances and one because of a family commitment
The one other BM who has been helping me plan a lot said that she thinks that the other BM that cannot attend should be expected to still split the bride's share of the cost for the weekend - should only work out to being $28 per bridesmaid - so not nearly what it would have cost for the whole weekend....
I'm a little apprehensive about this - I don't recall anyone who didn't participate in any of my or DH's b-party festivities contributing to the cost....
Is this common to request of non-participating BP members?
Re: is this customary?
If you knew this in advance then No. If it was a last minute bail out that would be different.
I put the room for my b-party on my CC because we used a place I get a discount from through work, well one of my BMs bailed the day of and refused to pay my sister her part of the room. So, who got stuck with it? ME!
Ditto this. If they offer, then awesome...but I wouldn't expect it of them since they let you know well ahead of time.
No, no one is expected to chip in.
We organized our own joint party and only half of the people there offered to even give anything. We didn't really expect anyone to give anything and we did not ask.
