So obviously the title says it all- but who pays for the attire of the ring bearer and flower girl? I'm assuming if I am specific on what I want them to wear then we buy? But what if I want them to pick something that their children are comfortable in?

Opinions, please :)

    Normally the parents would pay, which is why you should always ask parents before mentioning anything to the kids if they want to do it. If you can afford to pay for their full outfit, I'm sure the parents wouldn't object. But just like with GM & BM, ask the parents what is in their budget for an outfit for the child is. Personally I would suggest trying to keep things simple like for a ring bearer, let them wear some nice black pants, a white button down shirt & bow tie & regular black shoes. Skip the tux for little boys. For girls, depending on when your wedding is & what your colors are look at clearance dresses after the holidays or like easter/communion season.

    If my son was in a wedding I would expect to pay for his outfit, just like I would expect to pay for mine if I was in a wedding.  But I would expect you to be mindful of my budget and take into consideration if more that one member of my household was going to be in the wedding.

    If you'll be selecting the outfits, you should ask the parents for a budget. It's fine to tell the parents to pick out the outfits, if that's what you want. Either way, the parents pay.

    The parents should pay, but you should get budgets from them first if you're selecting the outfits.

    I was wondering the same thing a few weeks ago, but I offered to pay for flower girl dresses and was told no! I just didn't want my BM to have to pay for her dress and her daughters dress but she insist on paying for it.

    We thought about that too because my FI's brother and daughter are in the wedding, but they were comfortable with paying for his tux and her dress. I did however, buy her accessories.
