Hair

My FMIL used to be a cosmotologist (sp?) and cuts my hair on a regular basis. In order to save money, I asked if she would do my hair; to which she was thrilled and agreed. However, do you think it is too much to ask for her to do my BM's hair as well? Or should I arrange to have someone do it for them? Or let them take care of it themselves?

    As to your BMs... if you are requiring they have their hair done professionally, then yes you should arrange and pay for it. However, it's totally ok to tell them to do whatever they want (which is what I'm doing). Some of them may still choose to get theirs done professionally, but a lot of girls are really good at doing their own hair and will appreciate being able to make their own choices for their own budgets.

    As to asking your FMIL to do their hair, absolutely not. It's one thing to do your FDIL's hair - that's sweet and intimate - it's another to do an entire wedding party's hair like a hired hand and not the Mother of the Groom. Besides which, she's probably going to be very busy that day getting ready, helping oversee things being set up (even if they're not needed, moms like to do that) and spending some time with her son and family. It's very sweet of her to do your hair, but I think it would come off totally wrong if you asked her to do everyone's.

    You can leave it up to your BMs. Tell them they are welcome to do their own hair (free) or have it professionally styled (cost is on them). This would be the easiest way to go. 

    If you insist they have it done, you should pick up the cost. If you ask your FMIL to do their hair, I would definitely pay her for it. That said, depending on your time frame and how many BMs you have, as well as how intricate of a style they want and how fast your FMIL is with doing it, she may decline. She has to get ready that day too, you know! =D

    What I am doing is this: paying a stylist to come to the church for at least me. Closer to the time, we will figure out who, if anyone, also wishes to use her services and then will plan accordingly as far as what time she/we need to arrive. I will cover her tip totals and any charge she has for coming on site, but the BMs will be on their own for paying her.
