... for bridesmaid related responsibilities!!! My best friend is engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid! She is getting married next October about 5 hours away so I will have to plan for travel for showers, wedding planning and of course the wedding. And then there are gifts and the dress and shoes and all that stuff. I am guessing this could cost me anywhere from $500 - $700 in total.

Congratulations to you and your best friend!


When I first saw the title of your post I thought "another one is pregnant!"

Ugh - being a bridesmaid is an honor...........and a curse. LOL.


Bear in mind - other expenses - hotel (if you plan on staying overnight); bridal shower gifts; bachelorette gifts (some bachelorette parties ask the girls to pitch in a fee $$ amount to cover expenses of the bride to be...)


Also - wedding gift. Don't forget that.


Sorry - just wanted to give you more to budget for.!
