THE BRIDAL PARTY. If they "need" to stay in a hotel, then they need to pay for it. Plus, they shouldnt expect the bride and groom to pay for it, thats ludacris. Good luck

Michele, your budget straining to the max yet? The bridal party should pick up their own tab, but if you could afford to, it would be nice of you to do so. For my daughter's wedding, I picked up the tab for everything. Most of the bridesmaid were in college, and just working part-time, so I tried to pay for everything.
Here's a helpful hint, call around the hotels, and get a party price. When booking hotels rooms in a large number(5 or more)
they will give you a discount. This way no one has to pay full price, if it's your bridal party or you. I saved quite a bit doing this. One of the nicer hotel when I told them that the hotel down the street was giving them the rooms at $50 a night, they came down to that. They served a nice hot breakfast too, and the pool was larger. It worked! Bargain shop, and everyone is a winner.
Another thing, the hotels with the billboards, you can ask them to put up a sign for you! They put up congratulations to our happy couple. So, check with them about that to. Have the happiest and most wonderful wedding!
God bless us all.............

Why do they need to stay in a hotel ? Are they also taking a day off of work. If they are giving up a day or more pay the wedding couple should pick up the tab. But usually the attendants pay their own.

The brides family usually but if you are grown and paying for the wedding on your own then it falls on you to pay the tab. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

The bridal party picks up the tab. They don't expect you to pay for their gowns and tuxes for the wedding, they shouldn't expect you to pay for somewhere for them to sleep.
