Q i am the maid of honor and would like to throw a bridal shower for the bride but can’t afford to pay for everything. is it appropriate to ask the bridesmaids to help pay for the expenses?
A If you don’t include them in the planning, don’t include them in the paying. Instead of asking them to contribute a certain dollar amount, ask the bridesmaids if they would be interested in helping you put together a shower for the bride. See who would be interested in taking charge of different responsibilities, such as decorations, the cake, invitations, etc. It is very common for the bridesmaids or other friends and relatives to help out with the shower. By letting each one handle a particular detail it helps spread out the financial burden and the satisfaction of putting together something special for the bride. If someone is too busy to help but would like to contribute money than by all means take them up on it, just be sure the bride knows they were a part of making the celebration possible.
