I have a total of 6 bridesmaids, 2 are jr bmaids. I am paying for their makeup day of as well as my mother and grandmother. I’m wondering if I should be paying for my FMIL as well? We are close, but she’s also older and doesn’t ever wear makeup. She’s older than my grandmother(mid to late 70s) and I’m not sure she’d be comfortable wearing makeup all day and if it is worth the expense? Please help!

    I think if you’re already splurging on all of your bridesmaids and grandmothers, it would be a nice gesture to ask her if she would enjoy it and not put the pressure on her to accept if she’s not one to normally wear make up.

    I think you should at least offer. If she doesn’t want to, that saves you money, but at least she won’t feel left out.

    I paid for my mother in law and step mother in law. I'd just ask her if she is interested and pay if she wants it done.

    Like everyone said I would just offer and see if she would like to and if she says yeah that's a really nice way to bond before the wedding and a nice way to say "hey you are important to me and I appreciate you".

    I would ask her if she would like to get her makeup done with everyone.

    You should ask her would it be worth ot for you to have her makeup done. I wouldnt guess this matter Ill ask my grandmother to see if its really needed.

    I would ask. I am also paying for my bridesmaids and mothers makeup. But I know my fmil doesn't wear any, but I reached out and asked if she was wanting it done and she politely declined. Which is all fine with me!
