Why do Brides feel they are so entitled, I understand it is their day, but that is just it, it is their day not mine, why do I have to fork over $1400 to be in your wedding. No thanks. Get a clue. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I can't believe it myself. My friends insisted on throwing me a bachelorette party, so I didn't invite them to the shower my mother's family just HAD to do. I would have been happy without either. And we even skipped the rehearsal dinner - seemed like such a waste. [ Reply | More

Agreed! It would be great if they would at least be price conscious when choosing the bridesmaid uniform--I was lucky BF let us choose our own black dress and sister & SIL chose a nice/cheap dresses. I still wear the black dress! [ Reply | More

OR above: I did the black dress thing too. Couldn't imagine them spending so much money on some crazy color I chose to match the tables! [ Reply | More

Another OR - I did the black dress thing, too. Actually, I originally said, where whatever Black dress you feel good in. They all asked me to pick an exact dress from David's Bridal (not where I got my wedding dress) because they wanted "guidance." So I did. Almost everyone ended up buying that dress but at least they could easily get it no matter what state they lived in. [ Reply | More

What do you all suggest: I'm the maid (ok Matron) of honor at my sister's wedding. What are your thoughts for the shower? Who must be invited? How can we do this cheaply? [ Reply | More

Talk to the bride about the guest list - traditionally all women invited to the wedding were invited to the shower, but it's not necessary anymore - you can limit it to family and close friends of the bride. The cheapest way to do it would be at someone's home - we had my sister's shower at her best friend's house and it was lovely. [ Reply | More

you can cut the cost by doing a nice buffet at your/someone's home...cook your own stuff [ Reply | More

You know, I never have the problem with the shower. I actually like throwing the shower it brings everyone together. It is more of the dress cost, hair, makeup, shoes, bachelortte party, etc. One way to save is have everyone bring a dish and have them bring the recipe for the bride, I did this for my cousins wedding and it was fun, and she got a mini cookbook from friends and family.

I bought my girls dresses, instead of buying them gifts. If they wante dto get their hair done they could but I didn't make it mandatory. I thought this was a great way to say hey i want you to be part of my day without you having to break the bank. BTW: I am OP and the bride (friend) was in my wedding. [ Reply | More

Yes, I am one of those with the black dresses & I'm in sticker shock myself. It's such a crazy machine that people fall prey to. I wish I eloped! Because I really could have stood to spend on the money on other things and reduce the stress. And my wedding was pretty low frills. [ Reply | More
