The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
Last week I posted that my BM's weren't willing to contribute what my MOH was asking of them ($200). The drama continues. My MOH is trying to compromise with them and see what they feel comfortable with. They say $100/each.I shouldn't be angry because I know things are rough for everyone but I know that 1 BM in particular is VERY well off and shes the one giving my MOH the biggest issue.
I just want to cry and say screw the shower if no one wants to contribute towards it
their dress is cheap. i bought their shoes and doj and they dont have to pay for hair or m/u.

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
Yikes! I think that's horrible, especially since you're doing so much for them. I would say give your MOH another list of close friends that may be willing to pitch in (If I wasn't in a close friend's wedding, I'd still help out) and consider this a lesson learned with those 'friends' of yours.

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
I definitely do NOT think you're being a bridezilla. If I remember correctly, you mentioned that they're established except for one bc she is a little younger. They can very well save up for it, I mean they've known about this since you asked them to be BM. I'm so sorry that they're being unreasonable!!

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
i dont think ur being a bridezilla at all!! they agreed to be in ur BP, they're ur friends.....IMHO they should be happy that ur being so nice and paying for all their hair and makeup...and shoes. i would be!!! i dont know what i'll be able to pay for when it comes to my BMs...

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
aww i'm sorry....i think its really nice of your MOH to compromise with them. the only thing i will say about the bm who is well off that is giving her a hard time, people who talk about money don't necessarily have it, so maybe she is having financial issues right now.just a suggestion, maybe you can email the girls asking them to contribute whatever they can or maybe they help with decorations, invitations, favors, etc.

I'm sorry that your going through this
none of my bp paid for my shower or my mom for that matter and I had to jump start all of the planning, so I kind of feel your pain

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
Do BM's usually contribute to the shower?? Mine aren't and I didn't ask when my sister got married. Should my sister be asking them to?

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
im sorry, sound slike theyre a tad bit unappreciative, you did help with them by picking less expensive dress buying their shoes and doj and they know the responsibilites of being in a bp and if your asked to even be a bm its usually because youre close to that person so youd think theyd want to contribute and make your shower awesome, sorry im like angry for you, thats just plain out ridiculous, honeslty if it was me i would tell them straigh tout that you understand everyones financial situations are different but being that youre not made of money either it would be nice for them to contribute as you have to them
