So I have sometime yet before our big day but I was just wondering (brides) are you and your bridesmaids doing a spa day a few days before the wedding? Like Manni's and Pedi's? and if you are are you paying for them?I have a pretty tight budget and I'd like to be able to pay for a spa day and for their hair and make-up the day of but I just don't know that I could afford that. What do you think?

    We're going for Mani/Pedi's the day before the wedding.I'm covering the cost for hair and makeup for the ladies for the day of, but they've got to take care of their own spa stuff.  I let them know that it was totally optional (in fact FSIL and FMIL aren't coming, they're weird about their feet...) but that they'd have to pay!It went over very well.  Everyone was actually a little taken aback by the fact that I was covering hair and makeup....

    Well, my BMs treated me to a spa day for my bachelorette 3 weeks ahead of the wedding. Unfortunately our schedules are too busy to accommodate another one just before the wedding. I will be paying for hair for one BM though. The other will do her own and we're all doing our own makeup.

    i really like the idea of having some time with the gals before the big day. the day before our wedding, my gang and I are having a spa day, while the dudes play golf. when i suggested the idea of the spa day, i supplied them the link to the spa services, and emphasized that it was totally up to them if they wanted to participate. turns out, everyone was really into it! i am not paying for this for them (although id love to). i think the way to do it is to ensure they know its not required. same with hair & makeup. i am having a beauty team come to our "get ready suite". i have a few that are doing each others makeup, but some were really into the idea having these services done. provide them the option, and let them make the choice. :)
