Financial Responsibilities
Part of the financial responsibility of being a bridesmaid, in addition to the
dress and accessories, is paying for incidentals such as hair styling, makeup,
pedicures and manicures. You can offer to help, but your bridesmaids should know
up front that they would share some of these expenses. Also in this category are
accommodations and transportation. To avoid any misunderstandings, many brides
outline the costs early in the planning process and try to help wherever
possible to alleviate financial strain.
Dancing Up A Storm
Many wedding customs date back to times of greater pageantry and pomp, like a
formal opening dance number for bridesmaids and groomsmen. Even if there is no
such thing planned, bridesmaids should serve as "starters" at the reception to
get everyone on their feet and having fun when the band gets swinging. It may be
the electric slide rather than a lovely waltz, but the bridesmaids should try to
inspire guests to shake it up.
