I hope someone can help me w/ these questions…

A good girlfriend of mine just asked me to attend her wedding and be the bridesmaid which I am totally excited about, but one problem, $$$. (her wedding is in Hawaii)

  1. Do I have to pay for my own plane tix??
  2. Who is paying for the hotel, dresses…etc (all those expenses)
  3. Do I still need to get her a wedding gift??
  4. Would it be too much to ask my date to pay for his own fare and expenses?

and… lastly
5) Can I screw the Best Man without feeling guilty (just kidding)

Thanks so much!!

Depends on how much class your friend has. I think the easiest thing would be to just ask her. The date would pay his own way, I’d have thought.
As for screwing the best man, are you kidding about screwing him or kidding about whether you’d feel guilty afterwards? :wink:

Well… neither!! Didn’t want all you posters to think that I am a horn-ball…
but I just can’t help it!! Is it bad?? :blush:

Where I come from , the answers are as follows.

  1. Yes . Guests pay for thier own transport. Unless the Bride/groom/parents are really loaded.
  2. You pay for your own hotel room. If you have free choice of what to wear as bridesmaid then yo pay for the dress. If the bride chooses ie to match her dress then she pays. All other meal expnses associated with the wedding & reception are paid by the bride/groom
  3. Yes
  4. No. He pays his way
  5. If the groom does not show on the day then the best man screws the bride. In this situation it would be rude of you to screw the best man too. If the groom is present ,then you can screw the best man without guilt.

So my date have to pay for his own fare, hotel, food and stuff?? Does he have to pay for the wedding gifts as well??

I think in that case, it would be hard for me to find a date since the airfare cost more than $400 US, (more than $15000 NT), not including other expenses…

Come to think of it, I should just go there by myself and enjoy the fun!! Maybe I am lucky enough to find a boy toy there… :unamused:

  1. Do I have to pay for my own plane tix??
    Unless the couple has a private jet - yes.

  2. Who is paying for the hotel, dresses…etc (all those expenses)
    You, you, you, you and you. But the food is free.

  3. Do I still need to get her a wedding gift??
    No. You need to get THEM a wedding gift.

  4. Would it be too much to ask my date to pay for his own fare and expenses?
    Nope. Just don’t mention it until you reach the airport.

  5. can I screw the Best Man without feeling guilty (just kidding)
    Sure, but what will your date say … !? (Else invite him for a threesome)

:wink:

Have they sorted out a best man yet?
If the groom doesn’t have any friends I will do it.
Wait… we don’t know what MiakaW looks like do we… hmmm, in that case I withdraw my offer.

In my experience…

  1. Do I have to pay for my own plane tix??
    NO. You have been asked to be the bridesmaid in a country/city that is not where you live.

  2. Who is paying for the hotel, dresses…etc (all those expenses)
    Again, hotel should be covered by the wedding party.
    Dress, again, if she chooses it, she pays.

  3. Do I still need to get her a wedding gift??
    Of course you do. But as bridesmaid, she too should give you a gift of thanks, usually jewellry of some description.

  4. Would it be too much to ask my date to pay for his own fare and expenses?
    Airfare = his responsibility
    Hotel = shack up with you.

But as was said - ask the damn woman to clarify or you may be “goin’ nowhere”.
