No need to have bridal shower if you don’t have the money.

@cynthiaoconnor7185 7 дней назад

Bridal showers are usually held at home or at a church so to choose an expensive venue for what is basically a way to get gifts, is madness. And, why are people (and news people and talk show hosts) saying "have a less expensive wedding", when the segment was about an OPTIONAL activity?

@Paul-tp9yh 7 дней назад

Exactly! Our humble mixed race wedding. I paid for my own catering- Vietnamese food that I, myself & my relatives picked up at various restaurants in Orange County. Add those to the simple Greek buffet at a Greek restaurant in San Bernardino, CA (they graciously allowed us to combine our food) and we had ourselves a feast. lol. 1 bridesmaid. We paid for our own way. His grandmother offered to pay for the Greek buffet. Simple and inexpensive and we will be celebrating our 34 years this July. My two other best friends also had even simpler & cheaper weddings, 35 and 34yrs. Why incur debts and risk offended people. And will it last? Celebration doesn’t have to be expensive. And I rented my dress. No need for expensive care & for dragging it around the country/world.

Since when does the bride pay for the bridal shower? I've been a bride & bridesmaid multiple times. I have never heard of the bride paying for her shower, let alone charge a fee to attend the bridal shower. The close friends, family, etc should cover the bridal shower costs. All the bride has to do is show up & enjoy food & beverages with the guets & then receive the gifts. If money is tight for everyone, then have a more casual event at someone's house & make it a potluck event. It doesn't have to be so complicated or extrvagent for everyone.

Any woman expecting guests and bridesmaids to pay just to attend a shower is not mature enough to handle marriage. It might be "your day", however it's not ALL about you. Your motive is purely selfish and narcissistic. Your joy should be in these women coming to support you; however they are able. It is not about how much you can financially gleam from them.

@jujubees711 9 дней назад

Mind you, it's $300 for the shower, it's not even the wedding. The bride or the bride's family can't afford the shower, but expect guests to pay $300? Why did no one stop this woman from having such an elaborate shower. It may be her dream, but many of us had to eliminate something from our wedding to stay on budget. Have the shower at family members house and everyone brings food, if you can't afford it. I would decline too.

@jenniferlisow2901 9 дней назад

Thank you! My dream wedding reception cost $5000 just to have it there. Didn't include anything, just to to have it there. And this was about 20 years ago. Needless to say, I didn't have it there because it was way over our budget.

Same here, years ago, to a community center. But I was gladly to bring anything to help because neither bride nor groom had much. They just wanted to share their happy day with you but couldn’t afford more than drinks and snacks. My girls (4 & 2) loved it because the bride was their babysitter at the YMCA and they adored her (mutual). We were honored to be invited.

Go the courthouse and put the money that you would have spent towards a shower,parties, wedding and honeymoon towards your student loans, ccredit card, or a down payment on a small house or even pre marriage counseling so that you know if you are marrying the right person for the right reasons before you spend years in a relationship that isn’t going to survive the distance and rigors of marriage for 50+ years.

@h.b16 9 дней назад

I’m from Vancouver Island, Canada, and It’s always been customary for the maid of honour to plan the bridal shower and everyone agree on what to do with the bride so that it’s not out of everyone’s budget. All the brides maids also split the brides portion so she doesn’t have to pay anything. And we’ve never done anything extravagant. Sometimes it’s just a night out downtown. It doesn’t have to be expensive.

@wannabe41 8 дней назад

That’s the way it was typically done in the US many years ago, or the bride’s family would host and pay for the shower. Now weddings have become so overblown, with expensive destination weddings and separate trips for the bridal party, both brides and groomsmen. It’s ridiculous. No way would I pay that kind of money. It’s in poor taste to ask guests to pay anything at all.

@texas2step266 2 дня назад

I do not understand why brides now believe their wedding should be an expensive performance. Guests are invited because you want to share your happiness, and the fact that they send gifts is just gravy. To ask bridesmaids, who are already laying out money, to pay to attend the shower is beyond rude. Such selfishness! My husband and I got married on the cheap, we had a lovely ceremony and small celebration, and after 49 years, we've never regretted it. Stay within your budget, and use money for something more lasting and necessary. Sheesh!

The cost of being involved in a wedding is insane, even if you are not in a bridal party. The thing that I cannot get on board with is charging your guests anything to come to any event related to the wedding beyond their travel costs or a gift or childcare if necessary. And travel costs meaning your gas to get to the event. I am seeing more and more bachelor and bachelorette parties becoming weeklong trips to resorts or an international location. To attend the bachelor/bachelorette party is around $1000 and then you have to go to a wedding and purchase another gift at top of it? Insanity.

While we're here, I also want to say destination weddings are so selfish too. Expecting your guests to pay for travel, hotel, plus a gift. Let alone their time. I define a destination wedding as a location where neither the bride or groom live in the area and everyone has to rent a hotel. Just have a local wedding so most guests don't have to travel and it's one day. If you must have a destination wedding, then invite only family and a few close friends. And don't be insulted if they don't come.

In other countries, they have that way to do the bride shower and / or kitchen bar. Instead of a gift, you give money. But the amount of money is decided by the friends. Now, it is not that high . Could go from 50 to 100 dollars. It depends . This bride had bad advisers.
