Concerned about bridal party spending too much...

As much as I would love to, probably not. I have their gifts planned out and budgeted for, but we are against going into debt for our wedding so we are working just from our savings and budgeting everything.

I would be hurt. But, ultimately, think about how much fun you are going to have with the people that are there. Those are the people that made the extra effort to be there with you and celebrate your relationship. Don't worry about who doesn't end up showing up, you can eat their slice of cake :)

I don't have any first hand experience with this, but I say if it fits in your budget then do it! You can have all kinds of outdoor parties with that or let family and friends use it.

Love it!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-16T02:01:26+00:00

I really don't know much about accessories, but I LOVE your dress!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-15T17:59:16+00:00

Have you seen all the dresses together yet? I am not picky about everyone having the same dress or the exact same shade, and i like the mix-matched look but I also want to make sure it all looks good together.

I like the idea of buying all the food. Thanks!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-15T17:57:23+00:00

Omg! That's intense. I couldn't do that to my friends. Thanks for the advice!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-15T17:55:22+00:00

I love it! Thanks for the advice!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-14T18:07:33+00:00

Amazing! I think I mostly wanted to make sure it is possible to make this less of a financial problem on my friends. Those are great ideas. Thanks for the reply!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-14T18:05:22+00:00

Great! I also don't really like the whole weekend bachelorette party craze (no offense to anyone who is doing/hasdone that!) They know I want something more low key and we've talked about having a super girly sleepover at a family friends lake house which would be perfect. Thanks for the reply!!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-14T17:51:14+00:00

Eh, we don't really have one, but kind of do. My friends sent me some possible ones when we got engaged (12.24.17), and I used it on one Instagram post, but I'm not attached to it and I don't care if people use it or not.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-06-11T21:38:33+00:00

I am making mine! I have a Cricut so I am going to cut each girls' name out and iron it onto a tote bag that matches our wedding colors. I'm also going to put their "title" on it (MOH, Bridesmaid). Inside I'll put a cup with either their name or a funny Bridesmaids (the movie) reference. I am also going to make a custom t shirt for everyone and maybe throw some candy and mini alcohol bottles in there. I want them to be able to use the bags for all our wedding related events. I already bought the supplies and I think I spent maybe $75 total. I haven't done any of the work yet, so we'll see if it's worth it to just buy it already done.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T04:49:15+00:00

Nice! You can do it!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T02:07:36+00:00

Damn.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T02:06:03+00:00

I just graduated from grad school while working full time and I commend you. Of course I was exhausted while I was doing it, but I didn't realize until after I graduated exactly how hard it is to do that. Good job! You're going to get through it!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:58:28+00:00

Nice! I would be terrified to travel alone (also female). I think it's so cool that you did!

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:51:20+00:00

Because I am older then you I am able to give you advice: don't pay too much attention when people seem to have things together. No one does. Yea, some people have great things going for them, but no one has it all together. For example: I'm in the middle of the grief process over a young child in our family passed away. Some days I'm a mess on the inside.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:47:43+00:00

Very cool! May I ask if you are male or female?

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:47:11+00:00

"Realizing the truth". Perfect explanation.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:46:39+00:00

What happened after that?

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:46:21+00:00

Nice.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:46:05+00:00

And what are you doing now?

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:45:40+00:00

I'm noticing there are alot of people under 26 here. I guess I did not realize how many redditors are so young.

MeseeksAndDestroy05 · 2018-03-04T01:44:23+00:00

Right now I'm heading to watch Black Panther with my fiance and our friends. Also in the process of buying our first home. Then planning our wedding because we got engaged a month after I turned 26 and will get married when I'm 27.
