We know weddings are expensive but it's hard to justify this one.
When her friend attempted to charge each of her bridesmaids 10,000 AUD , 'Grace' had to put her foot down., to find out if she was making the right decision by backing out of bridesmaid duties due to financial concerns.According to one prospective bridesmaid, this cost only covered the pre-wedding events, and not the actual wedding, which left the hosts gobsmacked.
This included a $250 bridal shower with her mum and all her aunties, a $500 bachelorette party, a pre-wedding holiday 'to prepare' and a spa weekend.To top it all off, it is a destination wedding taking place in Bali, Indonesia.This led Grace to 'graciously step away' from the role in the bridal party as she could not afford to take part.
“I kid you not — I think I was in the wrong pay bracket to be friends with this person,” she jokingly told the radio host. Asking her to be a bridesmaid in the first place apparently came as a shock to Grace, as she claimed they weren't friends, but just liked 'each other’s posts on Instagram and that’s about it.'However, thankfully, the indulgent bride took the rejection well and understood Grace's reasoning.At least the story has a positive conclusion for Grace and she didn't end up bankrupt, but it is certainly worthy of a conversation.
It seems these days the once much-coveted role of bridesmaid is not one people are vying for due to the sheer cost of it.On the other side of the spectrum, there are brides who don't believe in charging bridesmaids to be involved in their big day."I don’t expect my bridesmaids to pay for a single thing, including the hen’s [bachelorette] party. “Your wedding is not your bridesmaids’ financial responsibility," she said.
