Congratulations
sweetie! Of all the girls that the bride has met in her lifetime
to date, you stand out above the rest. She has had many sleepless
nights making this big decision. She knows that who she picks will
make some happy and others upset.
The title of bridesmaid comes with responsibility
and cost. If you don’t have the time or money to be a part
of a wedding party, there’s nothing wrong with turning the
bride down and just coming as a guest. Many friendships have suffered
because a friend was too scared to say, “Sorry, I love you
but I can’t.”
The
bill for being a BMs is between $200.00 to $500.00+. The totals
will all depend on formality of the wedding, cultural background,
size of wedding, your dress and your budget. The
bride and her Maid of Honour will look to you for help many times
during the planning stages and on the wedding day. So, what do
you have to do?
