Bridesmaid expenses and expectations

What are you asking them to cover financially and what are your expectations of them that are made clear when you ask if they want to participate? Are they responsible to pay for just the dress, or the hair/makeup, accessories, etc in addition or are you able to cover those costs for them? Are they...

Are they responsible to pay for just the dress, or the hair/makeup, accessories, etc in addition or are you able to cover those costs for them? Are they responsible for hosting pre-wedding parties (local vs far away trips) or are you leaving that up in the air?

    Hey Michelle Rockstar my ladies have bought there own dresses and accessories but by using my name and number they have gotten discounts on everything. And they are also paying everything else as well like there nails, makeup I have a makeup artist that will do there makeup again discounted because of me and they are in the wedding. And I also gave them free reins on there nails because I know that my group is free spirited but I will not except no black,or Orange nail polish tho they have asked me can they have this color. Hairstyles for certain lady determines the style of there dresses. And they know how they want there makeup nothing to heavy

    I have bought them multiple gifts, am not wanting or expecting a Bachelorette party, they can get their own shoes (I did ask them to match closely to the dress, but if they can't, that is fine) and I will be buying them an accessory as well! I also will be gifting them their hoop bouquet as well. They can wear their hair and makeup as they want too. They will get their own dress. I chose one that if they watch sales at DB, it will be such a deal!

    Im am not asking them to cover anything. I just expect them to show up on time LOL, and to help with my train.
    My bridesmaid are my sister and two friends. They are making a super cute travel for me before the wedding, but i don't ask them to.
    My fiancé and i are paying for the dresses, my stylist is going to do all hair and makeup. I just ask them to bring their shoes (neutral color) and the three of them turn out to have appropiate ones.I know my mom and my sister are trhowing a Bachelorette party but not asking my friends to cover any cost.

    Also we are having our nails be done the day before. And my parents buy earrings, necklace and ring set to put in the save the date box, so they can used those is the wedding. I really hope they did not have to spend their money on anything.
