My bridesmaid is doing my make-up on my wedding day (she is really good) which will also entail a couple of trial runs to determine which "look" I like best, and a family friend is putting together a video collage of FI and I for our rehearsal dinner. Should I pay either of them for their time, or a nice gift other than monetary is fine? I do plan already to give the traditional bridesmaid gift to my bridal party, so does this gift "cover" the gift to the bridesmaid doing my make-up?
Thank you.
Re: Gift for family helpers?
I had family help decorate and set up the hall and sent them a really nice box of chocolates and they loved that, if it's any help!
H Aunt videotaped our wedding and reception, which was a surprise be we didn't hire a videographer. It turned out to be a nice surprise. We just sent them a really thoughtful TY note, but looking back, a small GC or box of chocolates probably would have been in order as well, but our wedding is over with now.

This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
