Now, traditionally speaking, whichever person decides to throw the bride the bridal shower ends up being the one paying for it.
So, since she planned and threw the whole thing for herself…she should technically be the one paying for it instead of hitting up her bridesmaids for money.
Anyway, when she asked her bridesmaids to help her pay for her party, they were less than thrilled with her request.
“They quickly refused and asked why it was their responsibility to fund a party I was planning and asked if it was expected for them to pitch in for every event including the wedding,” she continued.
“I understand that their financial situation is none of my business, but all three of them are very much the type of people to brag about their income.”
“I feel as though I am not good enough for help and fed up with begging for the help they already agreed to give. I decided that if they were able to go back on their word, then so was I.”
“We will no longer be paying for the things we said we would, such as hair and makeup, and will no longer be giving gifts.”
Well, her entire family believes she’s being petty and awful for deciding to take back the things she already promised to pay for in retaliation for her bridesmaids not wanting to pay for her bridal shower.
Her family also insisted that it’s not reasonable for her to bank on her bridesmaids helping her out financially with the bridal shower.
“They said if I can’t afford it then I shouldn’t do it,” she revealed. “However, my mom and MOH are in my corner saying this is a job for a bridesmaid, and if they didn’t want to help, they should have said no.”
