MOH hair only?

Summer2011Bride · December 2010

My mother would like to pay for my MOH to get her hair done on our wedding day but not the other BM's. I was not going to require any of them to get them done professionally, so I wouldn't pay for any. However, my mom knows my MOH and knows she is struggling financially. She thought it would be nice to "treat her" since she may not be able to afford getting her hair done even if she wanted to. We of course would NOT mention this to other BM's. I would just tell them it isn't required to get their hair done and if they would like to, it is up to them.

However, our photographer will probably be at the salon with us and the other girls will see that my MOH got her hair done there. Of course, that still doesn't mean they'll know my mom paid. I just wanted to run this by you girls first before I said anything to MOH. Do you think this is OK or rude to the other BM's?

It's probably not a big deal. Sounds nice!

I think it will be fine as long as you don't mention it to the other BM's. My Grandma paid for my sister/MOH and I to get our hair done, and no one said anything, not that they even knew.

I didn't require the rest of my BM's to get their hair done professionally either, and only one BM chose to use the same salon as my sister and I. The rest did their own hair and I was totally fine with that.

You could invite the BM's along and if they wish to get their hair done than they can. And they will also be in the photos. They don't have to know the MOH is getting her hair paid for by your mom. Your mom could pay while you girls are getting your hair done, that way it is discreat.

If your MOH wants to get her hair done, I think it is a very nice gesture.

I don't see any problem with it, I just wouldn't advertise the fact. I would just let the bridesmaids know that you will be getting your hair done at x salon, and if they'd like to join you, you'd be happy to make them an appointment. I will likely cover my sister (moh's) hair and make-up, but I'm not planning on doing it for my other three bridesmaids, but that's between the two of us.

Why don't you get her a gift certificate for getting her hair done? You can still invite the others to join you. Then when your MOH uses the certificate, it doesn't look like you are picking up the tab for her only.

Invite all the BM's to get their hair done. Those who want to come will. Have your mom pay either ahead of time, before you go, or while you guys get your hair done. No one will honestly be standing over her at the register making sure she whips our her card!

<div>I think this a fabulous idea! That way it doesn't single her out.</div>

I don't think any of them would care. Atleast I wouldn't. Your mother is paying, not you.
