So, some of you already know that I am in the bridal party for my friend's wedding coming up in April. This girl is my oldest friend, and my maid of honor. I have been very excited to be a part of her wedding, but it has also been causing me a lot of stress. I don't know if I can live up to her expectations of me as ane of her bridesmaids. Today she sent out an email blast to all of her 6 or 7 bridesmaids. In it she said that two of the girls had started making plans for her shower and bachelorette weekend. She then outlined how much it was going to cost each of us. Each event is going to cost us, in her words, "a few bucks"....aka. 150 to 200 each per event. When I commited to being a bridesmaid, I knew I would be putting out a good bit of money. I did not, however, expect to be given an invoice for multiple parties that I have no input on whatsoever. Nobody even asked me for an opinion, or what I could contribute. At the end of the email, she emphasized that being her bridesmaid was going to be very expensive, and a HUGE commitment. her words, not mine.
