    Hey ladies,
    im prepared to buy my BMs dresses, hair comb and clutch bags - ive 3 sets to get, but i cant really stretch to shoes, nails, tan, hair and makeup etc so i was wondering how to ask them if theyd pay for these themselves. i mean what do you say? help!!!

    I would just explain it to them straight. Sounds like you're paying for the most expensive bits and some of them might be just as happy sorting some stuff themselves :) If you're close enough to ask them to be BMs then I think you don't need to worry, they'll completely understand :)

    simple. im in the same boat. ive simply said find shoes you will feel comfortable in or have already that you want to wear, ive told them also that they could either put towards the dress or get their own shoes, they opted for the shoes as the dresses was 250 each!!!! they also agreed to get their hair done etc and pay for themselves as ive paid for their dresses and jewellery and headpieces.

    make it sound like a compromise it helps!!! xxxx

    ps ive 4 girls to get for!!!
