Wedding or Fundraiser? Bride’s $75 Dinner Charge Sparks Heated Debate
What if Bridesmaids Didn’t Have to Pay For Their Dresses?
One user’s shock at bridesmaids footing their dress bill highlights how wedding customs vary wildly. In some cultures, it’s common for the couple to graciously cover the cost of bridesmaids’ attire. But it’s a different story in the United States.
Here, bridesmaids often pay for their own dresses. It’s a tradition as American as apple pie, though only sometimes as sweet for the wallets involved.

Some argue that this practice is a personal investment, while others see it as a financial burden.
