Or, if it’s only one or two of your guests that are struggling to afford the celebration that you want, you can quietly offer to pay for them so that they are still included in all the fun.
Something that the bride and groom are expected to pay for is the food for the entirety of their bridal party. This includes not only the reception dinner but also the rehearsal dinner, as well as any food for the party to snack on while they are getting ready for the big day. Fruit and charcuterie boards are popular to have in bridal suites for everyone to enjoy.
Lastly, don’t forget that the bride and groom should always buy a nice gift for each member of their bridal party. For bridesmaids, this could be a pair of earrings or a cute pajama set, while the groomsmen could receive cufflinks or mini bottles of their favorite alcohol.
There are tons of options out there, and it is just really important to celebrate the people who mean the most to you being by your side on such a big day!
It’s also important to give the bridal party the space to step back from being in the party and just be a guest if they wish to. Being a part of the group is often a big financial and time commitment that not everyone can always undertake.
Do not take it personally if they request to step down, and still let them know how important they are to you, regardless of if they are in the bridal party or not!
While conversations about money can sometimes be difficult or awkward, they are important conversations to have between yourself and your bridal party. They need to know how much you want them to contribute, and they need to let you know if they can or not.
As long as it’s reasonable, most close friends and family will be happy to contribute to your wedding day!
