I think this is reasonable, but I want opinions... Is $65 from each bridesmaid too much to ask for to plan a bridal shower (since a few of them are in college)? In addition to the bridal shower, their dresses are $100 and I'm not requiring them to wear certain jewelry or shoes (so they have the option to wear something they already own). The only other expense they have is to get their hair done, which will be $30. So, overall, they'd be spending around $200 over the period of eleven months.
