Absolutely. Even though she offered to help and may not be expecting anything I think it's a great contribution. How much were you originally anticipating spending on your centerpieces? I'd give her something like half of that as a thank you and maybe a gift certificate for a massage.
Im on a very tight budget thats why i wanted to do the goldfish centerpieces since goldfish costs a few bucks and was going to put crystal marbles around the vase, maybe $15 a table, very cheap, once again because we are on a small budget, sooooo since she offered to make the very fancy tall flower ones i accepted it but really cant afford it, i will definately get her a gift massage, great idea! Thanks, just wanted to know if in the rule book you had to pay for extras that MOH or BMs offer
If she's going to do the flowers and you're going to get her a massage certificate to thank her, and you're on a tight budget, do you really need the goldfish as well? If it's really important to you to have the goldfish, okay, but if not then you could use the money for something else maybe...just a thought.
I would skip the goldfish. It will help you save money and it's kind of cruel to the goldfish.
It sounds like this is her gift to you for your wedding, so I wouldn't give her flat out money, but DEF a thoughtful gift & a card. Also, what I did to thank the people that went above and beyond was to thank them in our programs, they really appreciated that as well.
I would just ask her. I had a friend do my hair and I gently asked what she would charge and she said o no charge, it's my gift to you. So you could just say, I love the fact that your willing to do them. This is my budget per table. Than maybe she'll say o no i'm covering them. Than you can thank her and relax. That's your gift!
I would definitely ask her too. If she adamantly refuses, you have an awesome MOH but don't forget to check in with her throughout the process in case she changes her mind (during DIY projects, things may have gotten underestimated). Otherwise, she'll give you a ballpark figure, then u can pay her base on that.
As for any1 who's considering goldfish, check this thread. There was quite an extensive discussion on it. Remember that you'll be dealing with quite a number of cons.
I think a gift and really nice card is perfect. Money seems like a business transaction.
Just ask her. She's your MOH- presumably you have a close enough relationship that you can be honest with her.
She may be volunteering her labor, expecting you to pay for the flowers. You don't want her to move forward if you can't afford it.
