Let’s face it; being in a wedding party can be stressful. Between the money you dish out and keeping up with the wishes of the happy couple, it’s easy to feel like you’re in over your head. So what do you do about it?
There are about two weeks till Halloween which means engagement season is just around the corner. If you don't know what engagement season is, it is the time between November and February when most couples get engaged. Many think that engagement season is big partly due to social media and partly due to the fact that you will soon be around the majority of your family. Plus, Thanksgiving through Valentine's Day is typically a time of warm and happy occasions and it seems less likely that someone would say no. But, let's say you're not ready to pop the question. You've been dating your significant other for a while and you know many family and friends will be asking those annoying questions, "So when are you popping the question?" or "When do you plan on getting married?"

Dear Ask The Bridesmaid,
I have been asked to be a bridesmaid for one of my best friends. We met in college, and I'm so excited for her to tie the knot! The thing is, I'm from Europe and live here too, and she's from the U.S. and will be having the wedding there. That's not the issue cause I've already got a plan to save my money to be there for the bachelorette party, wedding, makeup, hair, etc. The issue is that the other bridesmaids have decided to plan another bridal shower aside from the bachelorette party, made plans without my input or another bridesmaid's who live pretty far away too, and expects us to pay for this.
I won't have the time or the money to make it for this bridal shower. I've already bought a wedding gift for my friend to send over, but I just don't think I should pay for this shower that I had no idea about, didn't help with the planning, or will even be there. What should I do because I don't know what to tell them? Am I being reasonable in thinking this way?
Please help,
Tia Continue reading "#AskTheBridesmaid – Do I Have to Pay for an Event I'm Not Even Going to Attend?" »

Dear Ask the Bridesmaid,
I am in a very tough spot for an upcoming wedding I will be in. My brother is getting married, and his future wife has asked me to be a bridesmaid. I'm honored she asked me, but the problem is that she expects us to pay for our hair and makeup. Which I wouldn't care about, except for the fact that it's gonna cost me $250!
That's stupid expensive, especially since I just got married, bought a house, and I know that it shouldn't cost that much. Like for my wedding, it was only $50 for my bridesmaids to get their hair done, and if they wanted their makeup done too, it would cost an extra $35. So to help out, I paid $15 each for the cost, and they all agreed to get their makeup done on top of that. I basically made it an option because I know what it's like.
What should I tell her because I need to save money, but I also don't want to make her angry or my brother angry?

Dear Ask the Bridesmaid,
I am in charge of planning my best friend's bridal shower. I have done some research and looked online to see if I should plan some games, but I don't know if I should plan a lot or if I should plan just a few. I've never had to host a bridal shower before and I'm completely lost. Can you help me out?
Thanks,
Abby

Facial hair is often a hotly debated topic. You either love it or hate it and there isn't much in between. There are industries dedicated to both shaving and beard care and each has taken on a life of its own. This got us to wondering…Where do grooms stand in the mix? Should they shave off the beautiful locks on their face to sport a more clean-cut look? Or should they let their beard run free? Continue reading "Should the Groom Shave Before the Wedding?" »
