If you've been asked to be bridemaid and have not yet answered, then ask the bride, or whoever is hosting the wedding, what is expected of you. Get it in writing and make sure it is very specific. For instance "Pay for your own dress" should include a price range for the dress.
But something tells me you have already agreed to be a bridesmaid and aren't real happy at the way your obligations and expenses seem to keep growing and growing. Be very honest with the bride and host about this -- tell them that you're sorry, you hadn't realized that so much involvement and cash outlay would be expected of you and perhaps you should step down. Either they will modify their 'demands' or they will be out a bridesmaid.
I know it can come to seem as if this has all been an evil plot to have an overly grand wedding at the expense of the bridesmaids, but try to NOT think that way. With florists, dressmakers, caterers, and all those 'bridal industry' magazines egging them on, it is the rare bride who doesn't come to feel entitled an orgy of selfishness and overspending.

a million. Bridesmaids are expected to pay for his or her wedding ceremony outfit, however the bride will pay for the vegetation. 2. The bridesmaids are expected to host a bath for the bride. this would not must be loopy and contain 500 people. 3. The bridesmaids chip in and purchase a competent present for the bride. 4. The bridesmaids throw a bachelorette party for the bride. returned, would not must be loopy or high priced--merely relaxing. 5. The bridesmaids are expected to help their buddy on her wedding ceremony day. make certain she has each and every little thing she desires, be superb and tell her she is remarkable. on the turn side, brides can't be terrible bitches and could admire the pocketbook of their bridesmaids.

The brides maids help with the Maid of Honor. They don't do near as much as the Maid of Honor, basically stand and look pretty.

To look pretty, but not too pretty that they take the looks away from the bride. I was a bride's maid and I don't really see the point in it.

If they are single they get drunk and then sleep with the grooms men. Makes for great post-wedding stories.
