I didn't have bridesmaids to avoid all the worry over cost and who was paying, and drama that comes with it.

I picked the dresses and shoes before I asked anyone. They knew how much it was going to cost before agreeing. I paid for jewellery, they paid for everything else.

But why did you think it was ok for them to pay for your day?

Because it would have meant another year of saving up. I wasn't that fussed to have bridesmaids so if they wanted to be one they needed to pay for it.

Them being bridesmaids is a favour to you, not yours to them. Lol what silly silly ideals you had.

They could say no. It wasn't worth the carry on for not having bridesmaids. I wasn't paying for all the crap that goes with it.

It's like an employer making you pay do a job for them. Nice scam.

My bridesmaids paid for nothing! I think it’s so rude to ask someone to be in your wedding and pay to do so. You want a wedding you pay for it entirely

My bridesmaids paid for their own stuff, but I paid for my dress at their weddings so it worked out ok.

Same here. My ladies had $60 dresses and wore shoes they already had. They paid for hair and make-up but I paid for jewellery.

I didn't have a wedding party. Had a intimate backyard wedding and paid for everything on my really tight budget. I requested that due to the location of my wedding and ceremony, no children. And only those names on the invitation. I had one aunt who lost her shit because I didn't invite my cousins. Which I have over 20. She said she wouldn't come unless they got an invite and I politely replied with I'll miss your presence but I honestly cannot afford nor do I have the capacity for more individuals. Then another letter came and it was quite rude. In the end I just wanted to marry the man I love and couldn't be bothered with this mess. I caved and had extra people come with my extended family. Someone will always try to ruin your day. No pleasing everyone. I'm still happily married 13 years on. That's all that matters.

Your aunty is a rude bitch. Why would anyone want to go to a wedding where they weren't wanted in the first place? I didn't invite all my cousins. Cost was issue & also the fact that most of us just aren't in contact anymore. We had some people drop out so I did a last minute invited to a few.

I paid for 6 bridesmaids, as did my hubby for 6 groomsmen; their airfares, accomodation, head to toe for the day. I could not fathom asking anyone to pay even for coffee for MY weddibgZ furthermore my mother would have had a seizure if I had asked 😳

I hope not. Even made sure bridesmaids had final say on dress, which was cheap & paid my own way at hens night etc.

Didn't stop my SIL bridesmaid from going full bitch without warning and destroying my wedding & the other bridesmaids saying later they hated the dress THEY picked.

Tried to be relaxed, no weird rules, kids invited & made it clear we wanted presence not presents. People still whinged about everything from the heat, to cutting the cake too late, to the fact they had to drive 5 minutes from the church to reception.

FF to my husband's birthday. Someone complained on repeat for an hour about the entree tray having something they were allergic to on it (I didn't realise). People complained some people brought gifts when expressly asked not to. OMG never again.

I don't have celebration parties anymore. We take a holiday instead.
