susieq21:  That’s cool. I agree with PP that you should talk to the bride and Maid/Matron of Honor about what you can afford and go from there!

Monikax3x3: personally, i think that $450.00 for a bridal shower is more than enough.

edited to clarify, if necessary: $450 total. per bridesmaid is crazy talk.

And you’re friends with this extremely entitled Wanna-Be-A-Kardashian bride why? She sounds utterly selfish and all about her, even to the detriment of those around her.

gingerkitten:  Gotcha.  Every shower I’ve been to has been a luncheon sort of thing, so I never thought of anything different.

OMG, $450 is absurd! No, you are not crazy for not wanting to pay that. The bride needs a reality check. What really gets me with all these shower posts are brides who “demand” things.  A shower is given to the bride to honor her. Idk, at my wedding, I didn’t even assume that I was going to have a shower, and didn’t ask for one, but my bridesmaids offered to throw it. They picked the venue and the menu. They asked for my input on the guest list and if I wanted games, but the rest was all them.

RobbieAndJuliahaha:  She is family. And yes, she is extremely selfish. Especially when it comes to someone else paying for it. I know if the tables were turned and she was being demanded to pay for this and that she would not be happy at all. But she will never see it that way.

susieq21:  I have been to a BM/MOH 5 times and not once did I have to spend that much for each wedding for activities and other expenses together! What happened to the days when bridal shower was a low key lunch at someone’s house with finger foods, games, and opening some gifts? 

This is the price some of us pay for living in a time with Pinterest obsession, outdoing each other via social media, and emulating celebrity lives.

socalgirl1689:  I hear you. I feel like they are trying to make this shower as extravagant as the wedding. And the fact that she feels entitled to a big lavish shower that what she says goes and nothing else matters, but not appreciative that we are giving her a shower just irks me. I totally understand every bride wants a nice shower, but to me a shower should be simple and it is always just as nice, if not nicer then a huge to-do shower.

susieq21:  No, you are not crazy and by no means you are obligated to spend $450 for her shower. I am actually quite pissed for you.
