OK, a shout out to the experienced bridesmaids here.


So I went out of town for the weekend for a bridal shower. It was a really nice party, the gal who organized it did a nice job. However…isn’t there always a however?... she asked for $100 a piece from each bridesmaid to cover expense. That would be a total of $600. I kind of expected a luncheon.

I am by no means an experienced bridesmaid, but the MOH for my sister getting married in Sept 2008, so shower planning is at the top of my mind.

The only way it could possibly be redeemed is if she uses the remainder for a kickbutt bachelorette right before the wedding or a great gift from all the bridesmaids but if not, you all got jipped.

Well, there won't be a bachelorette party - the wedding is this Saturday. She may be getting a gift from all the bridesmaids, but nothing's been said.

No, there were no fresh flowers or decorations. She did have some paper plates and napkins on the table. No table rentals or anything like that - it was in her home, and we just sat on her furniture.

Sigh. That's what I think too.


These people have more money than God. Why would she do that?

I'd be surprised if one of the other bridesmaids doesn't mention this . . . it's down right tacky.
