The long and the short of it is that it varies. But no matter the wedding, when you say \u201cyes!\u201d you sign up for a financial and time commitment of some sort. Here\u2019s an idea of the extra costs associated with being a bridesmaid. Here\u2019s a breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dress + Alterations:<\/strong> Does&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride want everyone to wear&nbsp;the&nbsp;exact same dress,&nbsp;the&nbsp;exact same color, or different dresses&nbsp;and colors? Depending on her vision, your bridesmaid dress&nbsp;cost&nbsp;may range from $30 (there&nbsp;are so many cute&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidsbridal.com\/bridesmaid-dresses-under-100?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organicsocial&amp;utm_campaign=bridesmaids-bridesmaiddresses-general&amp;utm_content=organicpost-blog-bridesmaidcost-bridesmaidsunder100-081519\">bridesmaid dresses under $100<\/a>!) to more than $200.&nbsp;Alterations can&nbsp;add $60-$80 to&nbsp;the&nbsp;cost&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;dress.&nbsp;Ask&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride early on what she\u2019s thinking so you have plenty&nbsp;of&nbsp;time to save up\u2014and get&nbsp;an&nbsp;amazing deal. Most bridesmaid dresses&nbsp;are not custom-made. Nearly&nbsp;all bridesmaid dresses will need to be&nbsp;altered in some way \u2013 shortened, taken in, straps&nbsp;added, etc. Consider&nbsp;these&nbsp;additional&nbsp;costs when purchasing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Parties:<\/strong> Bridesmaids, maid&nbsp;of&nbsp;honor,&nbsp;and family members&nbsp;are expected to throw&nbsp;and&nbsp;attend several parties leading up to&nbsp;the&nbsp;big day.&nbsp;<ul><li>Engagement Party\u2013 this can include making food, decorating,&nbsp;and even possibly hosting if&nbsp;the&nbsp;event has&nbsp;a&nbsp;smaller number&nbsp;of&nbsp;guests.<\/li><li>Bridal Shower\u2013&nbsp;along with&nbsp;assistance in planning, providing party favors, decoration or sharing&nbsp;the&nbsp;cost&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;venue.<\/li><li>Bachelorette Party \u2013 this can include travel if&nbsp;there is&nbsp;a&nbsp;destination bachelorette party,&nbsp;airfare, gas, rental car, hotel, food&nbsp;and entertainment.&nbsp;A&nbsp;weekend&nbsp;away will be much more expensive than one night out.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Travel:<\/strong> Most&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;time&nbsp;the&nbsp;wedding is close to where you live. For some, however,&nbsp;attending&nbsp;a&nbsp;wedding means traveling. This can range from&nbsp;a&nbsp;$30 tank&nbsp;of&nbsp;gas to&nbsp;a&nbsp;$650+ cross-country flight. Travel costs can be for&nbsp;the&nbsp;actual wedding, the shower, and the parties associated with the pre-wedding events.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Accommodations:<\/strong> Accompanying travel, most&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;time you\u2019ll have to spend 1-2 nights in&nbsp;a&nbsp;hotel even if you live close. Sometimes more depending on if it\u2019s&nbsp;a&nbsp;destination wedding&nbsp;across&nbsp;the&nbsp;country. On&nbsp;average, bridesmaids spend&nbsp;about $200 on&nbsp;accommodation&nbsp;cost. Even if it is&nbsp;a&nbsp;local wedding, sometimes&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride wants to have her bridesmaids with her&nbsp;the&nbsp;night before&nbsp;the&nbsp;wedding. One last single girl\u2019s night before&nbsp;the&nbsp;big day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Gifts:<\/strong> The&nbsp;number&nbsp;of&nbsp;gifts you give can&nbsp;add up. From&nbsp;a&nbsp;wedding shower gift, lingerie for&nbsp;the&nbsp;bachelorette party,&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;wedding gift. Even though you\u2019re&nbsp;already paying&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot to be part&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;wedding, it\u2019s still expected to give&nbsp;a&nbsp;gift during&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;pre-wedding events. This is where most&nbsp;of&nbsp;your&nbsp;costs can&nbsp;add up quickly. One way to potentially&nbsp;alleviate&nbsp;the&nbsp;gift pressure is to go in on&nbsp;a&nbsp;gift with&nbsp;a&nbsp;fellow bridesmaid. That way you\u2019re still getting&nbsp;the couple something&nbsp;they want\/need but&nbsp;at&nbsp;a&nbsp;smaller financial contribution. On&nbsp;average, bridesmaids spend between $100&nbsp;and $150 on wedding gifts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Hair, Makeup, and Accessories:<\/strong> Many brides will want\u00a0the\u00a0bridal party to get\u00a0their hair, makeup,\u00a0and nails done together for\u00a0the\u00a0wedding. This goes\u00a0along with matching\u00a0accessories\u00a0and shoes for\u00a0the\u00a0big day\u00a0as well. Some brides may pay for hair\u00a0and make-up if she requires everyone get done professionally. Hair\u00a0and make-up can\u00a0cost\u00a0around $100\u00a0and\u00a0accessories can easily\u00a0add\u00a0another $100\u00a0as well. Factor\u00a0these\u00a0added expenses when planning to be\u00a0a\u00a0bridesmaid.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost Saving Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind if you plan\u00a0ahead you can find savings in most\u00a0of\u00a0these\u00a0cost\u00a0areas. Depending on\u00a0the\u00a0bride\u2019s vision, if she is flexible in some\u00a0of\u00a0these\u00a0areas, you can find great deals if you spend some time researching, shopping\u00a0around, comparing prices. Planning\u00a0ahead is key\u00a0as if you have more time, you obviously have more options to search for savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reservations:<\/strong>\u00a0there can be discounts on travel reservations when making\u00a0them\u00a0ahead\u00a0of\u00a0time.\u00a0Airfare\u00a0and hotels\u00a0often\u00a0offer various promotions that can be beneficial to your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dress\u00a0and shoes:<\/strong> shop\u00a0around\u00a0and compare prices. If\u00a0the\u00a0bride is somewhat flexible,\u00a0offer to shop\u00a0around for her\u00a0and provide some options. You might be surprised\u00a0of\u00a0the price differences for dresses\u00a0and shoes, just in\u00a0the\u00a0color you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accessories:<\/strong> this is\u00a0an\u00a0area\u00a0that can widely range in price. Spend time researching your options before you purchase. Look for sales, coupons\u00a0and other discounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hair\u00a0and Make-up:<\/strong> look for group discounts\u00a0and less expensive options with stylists looking for grow\u00a0their clientele or business.\u00a0Of\u00a0course,\u00a0always get recommendations\u00a0and ratings from past customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gifts:<\/strong>\u00a0there\u00a0are so many gift options with\u00a0a\u00a0wide range\u00a0of\u00a0costs. Coupons, discounts\u00a0and sales\u00a0are\u00a0around for even\u00a0the\u00a0most expensive\u00a0of\u00a0items.\u00a0Again, planning\u00a0ahead makes this easier\u00a0as you have time to shop\u00a0around\u00a0and wait for\u00a0the\u00a0discounts.\u00a0A group gift can\u00a0also cut down individual expenses\u00a0and sometimes\u00a0allow for\u00a0a\u00a0more expensive gift that is treasured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parties:<\/strong>\u00a0at home parties can cut down on\u00a0costs. If one\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0bridesmaids has\u00a0a\u00a0place to have\u00a0a\u00a0party\u00a0and doesn\u2019t mind this can be\u00a0a\u00a0great idea. Possibly\u00a0the\u00a0parents\u00a0of\u00a0the bride will\u00a0offer\u00a0their home or yard to host one\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0party events. This can make for\u00a0a\u00a0special\u00a0and endearing event. Plan for\u00a0a\u00a0tent if outdoors\u00a0as you can never count on\u00a0a sunny day. Making decoration\u00a0and food can\u00a0also cut down on\u00a0the\u00a0costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brides: Discuss your expectations for Bridesmaid Duties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When&nbsp;asked to be in&nbsp;a&nbsp;wedding, talk&nbsp;about your expectations for your bridesmaid duties. Do you want&nbsp;a&nbsp;destination bachelorette party?&nbsp;Are you expecting everyone to have&nbsp;a$300 dress? What will you be covering for&nbsp;cost&nbsp;vs.&nbsp;the&nbsp;bridesmaid? It seems like&nbsp;a&nbsp;simple conversation but having this early on will help&nbsp;avoid&nbsp;any&nbsp;awkward or unpleasant surprises later. Besides, your good friends should understand your financial situation&nbsp;and it will help&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride understand what&nbsp;a&nbsp;priority is vs. what can be downgraded&nbsp;a&nbsp;bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Time Aspect of Being a Bridesmaid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we established, it can be expensive to be&nbsp;a&nbsp;bridesmaid, but you&nbsp;are on board&nbsp;and&nbsp;are excited to be part&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;couple\u2019s big day. Great! It\u2019s&nbsp;also important to understand&nbsp;the&nbsp;time commitment you&nbsp;are fulfilling&nbsp;as well. Not only will you be expected&nbsp;at several pre-wedding events, but you will&nbsp;also be expected to be emotionally invested in helping&nbsp;the bride&nbsp;achieve her vision for&nbsp;the&nbsp;big day.&nbsp;As&nbsp;a&nbsp;bridesmaid, you should help&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride stay calm&nbsp;and make it&nbsp;as easy&nbsp;as possible for&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride to make decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What If You Can\u2019t Afford The Cost of Being a Bridesmaid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, no matter how much you want to make it work, financially it just isn\u2019t feasible. Nobody wants to let&nbsp;their friend down, but you can\u2019t&nbsp;argue with your budget&nbsp;and current financial situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know you can\u2019t&nbsp;afford to be&nbsp;a&nbsp;bridesmaid but still want to support&nbsp;the&nbsp;bride&nbsp;and couple on&nbsp;their big day,&nbsp;ask to take on&nbsp;a&nbsp;different role.&nbsp;There&nbsp;are plenty&nbsp;of&nbsp;roles beyond&nbsp;the&nbsp;wedding party with&nbsp;a&nbsp;much lower financial commitment.&nbsp;Offer to be&nbsp;a&nbsp;passage reader,&nbsp;a&nbsp;program&nbsp;attendant, or even&nbsp;a&nbsp;personal&nbsp;attendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being&nbsp;asked to be&nbsp;a&nbsp;bridesmaid on someone\u2019s special day is priceless,&nbsp;and you\u2019ll make memories that last&nbsp;a&nbsp;lifetime. Just be sure to keep&nbsp;the&nbsp;financial responsibility in mind to make sure&nbsp;the&nbsp;cost&nbsp;of&nbsp;being&nbsp;a&nbsp;bridesmaid doesn\u2019t set you too far back.&nbsp;The&nbsp;bride will be so happy to have you play&nbsp;a&nbsp;big role in her wedding day\u2014and she\u2019ll be thrilled to return&nbsp;the&nbsp;favor when it\u2019s your turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured photo by <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/daniellelozeau\/\">@daniellelozeau<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s More Than Just A Dress What is the average cost of being a bridesmaid?
