There is this couple that is friends with my fiance and I, they have been our friends for about 6 years now. The girlfriend kind of 'invited' herself to be my maid of honor as soon as she found out he purposed to me, I couldn't say no since she was so excited. So 8 months along the line, I haven't really talked about wedding plans, and I finally start now. I find a $180 bridesmaid dress that I love and would like my bridesmaid to wear. I show it to her and she starts complaining how expensive it is. I am annoyed because 1: She first of all, volunteered to be maid of honor. I never officially asked her. 2: She is ALWAYS broke, she never has any money! Whenever we go out, I am a always paying for food, shopping, etc. Okay, like 95% of the time. I would think she would be a little more generous since I've always helped her.
My question is: Should bridesmaids pay for their own dress? Make-up? Hair? Accessories? Or is it the bride's responsibility? I already have enough financial stress with the rest of the wedding expenses!
So, should I help her pay for a portion of the dress, or should I just make her pay for her own dress?
Should I just get a new maid of honor, although she will probably never be my friend again?
