IF FARAWAY BRIDESMAIDS ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE BRIDAL SHOWER, ARE THEY STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE COST OF THE EVENT?
Great question. Here’s another: Are those ’maids going to be named on the invite? If so, they are. Technically, anyone listed as a cohost, whether she’s an attendant or a sister, friend, or relative, is expected to pitch in. The organizer (usually the maid of honor) should contact the entire bridal party well in advance of the shower, clearly outlining what the costs will be and asking who wants to help host. If someone opts out of throwing the party, that’s fine, but let them decide if they want to contribute; just because they may not be there to enjoy the event doesn’t mean that they won’t want to participate from afar.
MY MAID OF HONOR WANTS TO THROW ME A SHOWER, BUT MY FIANCÉ AND I DON’T NEED ANY HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. SHE SUGGESTED ASKING FOR GIFT CARDS OR CASH, BUT ISN’T THAT SORT OF TACKY?
In a word, yes. For your friends and family, part of the fun of attending your shower is watching you ooh and aah over the gifts they spent time picking out for you (read: something that requires a box, not $50 bills). A better alternative is to throw a theme shower where guests are asked in the invitation to bring a favorite family recipe, piece of lingerie, bottle of wine, DVD for your entertainment collection, or anything else you dream up.
