I am throwing the bride a bachelorette party & wedding shower, and between the cost of invitations, party favors, food, shower cake, door prizes, etc….and not to mention the dress I bought to be in the wedding & other accessories, etc, ETC….I’ve spent a small fortune. Is it necessary to also buy a shower gift off the registry? Or do you think the bride would be offended. After all of this, I’m broke!!!
my sister is my MOH & she’s paying a majority of the bachelorrette party my mom is paying for my bridal shower
but my sister [[MOH]] her daughter is also the flower girl & my nieces dress & shoes & all that will add up!
& my sister offered to pay half of my wedding cake!
& her dress & shoes and the rest will add up!
there’s no way i would want her to buy me a gift
times are tough right now for some of us!
so i don’t think the bride will be offended if you don’t get her a gift
weddings are not about gifts!
they are about the love of two people that family & friends get to celebrate with them that one day
& if the bride gets offended she is very selfish & a gold digger
not all people can afford expensive gifts out of the registry especially you that you spend so much money already
who comes up with all these crazy stuff?
expected to buy a gift even if you can’t attend the wedding?
that’s crazy not everybody has free money left to buy gifts especially the ones from the registry that tend to be expensive!
& if it came to either buy my daughter diapers [[don't have kids]] or buy a gift i would go with buying the diapers
money doesn’t grow on trees
Dah!

I personally would not be offended nor expect a gift after you did all of that. Having said that, there are some crazy bridezillas out there that may throw a fit. I hope your friend isn’t one of them. I would get her a card to express your best wishes and call it good. It sounds like you have done a lot.

She’s you’re best friend, talk to her about it. Tell her that everything you’ve done for her wedding is your present to her!

Are you looking for a medal or pat on the back??
THAT WAS YOUR JOB, TO WHICH YOU SAID YES…
Make her a special scrapbook of all the wedding stuff that she can look back on and remember for a long time.
It won’t cost you more than developing pictures, some paper and a blank scrapbook.

I don’t expect my MOH to get a gift off the registry. But she has told me she is taking all the pictures from the bachelorette party,dress fittings,pamper day, the bridal shower,and the morning of the wedding and turning them into one big wedding album for me. I am grateful enough she said she to being in my wedding!!!

If you’re invited, going or not, you’re EXPECTED to buy a gift, being a MOH is just extra!

In my opinion, no. I was MOH for 2 friends. I used my talent and made ALL of the corsage, boutineers, and bouquets, bought and put together favors, and ran around TONS. I think that was enough. The labor I put in for them…I could have earned at least 500 dollars a piece from each of them. I was paid nothing. But I didnt expect anything other than for them to understand that THIS was my gift to them.
