Bridal Shower Question

I know that I'm not supposed toplan my bridal shower, and I'm not but I have a quick question regarding cost. My mom has found the location, caterer, etc and has discussed all of the details with my MOH and Bridesmaids. The cost would come out to be $20 / person and my mom is willing to pay for it. My question is: Do the bridesmaids pay for the shower or is my mom solely responsible?

Thanks for the help! :)

    How mine is working is that the bridesmaids are pitching in a set amoount that my mother chose and then she is covering the rest. I think that it is usually the bridal parties responsibilty but if the mother decides to chip in/ throw the party it is their choice. For instance my grandmother threw my mothers because she did not want the girls to have to pay. So I would say if your mother wants to pay she shuod, but I also feel like she should include the bridal party to help with detail, decoration, and if they want to help let them.

    Thanks! My mom really can't afford to pick up the entire thing and the girls have offered to help so I think that my mom is planning to ask them for a set amount and she will cover the rest. (similar to yours) Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure if that was out of line. Any wedding I have been in, we (the bridesmaids) have paid for the shower so I didn't think it was incorrect.

    Thanks!!!

    For the one I helped with we girls paid and were adament the mom didn't pay anything. But, if you're doing a fancy shower it might be nice for the two groups to share the cost.

    Actually whoever is planning helps with the cost. If you're mom picked everything out then it's her responsibilty, but if the bridesmaids are helping with the decisions/planning then they should help.

    When we did ours the mom didn't pay, but she also didn't plan the event.
