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

@cynthiaoconnor7185 29 күн бұрын

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?

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.

I think this is a reasonable request. You could also call the person organizing the shower what is needed to bring. If you're short on money there are plenty of low cost items you can contribute. A can of coffee, cutlery, paper plates, make cookies. You aren't expected to cater the whole event. Keep it simple. You could also volunteer to help set up or clean up afterwards.

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.

It doesn’t have to be expensive.

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.

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.
