So my question here will not be "is my party to large?" Quite frankly I don't care if people think it is or not cause they aren't putting a dime into this....WE ARE! Anyway here is my real deal. I am having 7 to 9 BM and I am happy with that as well as my FH. Now instead of trying to spend all the money on gifts would it be more reasonable to split the cost of the BM Dress and GM Tux? The dresses are very elegant but I know how to go cheap and have beautiful gowns including my wedding dress which is less than 500 but looks 5000. I am looking at budget practical and just think it would make more since to help with those expenses than give gifts that aren't guaranteed to be used later. At least with the dresses and tuxedos we know they will be used accessories too. What do you think?
