Wedding Question: Who Pays for What?
I recently received another wedding question: “One of my friends is getting married and I’m a bridesmaid. She hasn’t mentioned who is paying for the dress, but she already said she wants me there early on the day of because she’s having our makeup and hair done. Is she supposed to pay for the dress? Am I supposed to pay for the hair & makeup? Who pays for what?”
Good question! This basically depends on the couple. I’ve known brides to pay for the dress, but not makeup or hair and I’ve known brides who paid for makeup, but not dress and hair. I’ve also known brides who have said, “you pay for everything, but please dont get us a gift.” So see? It can kind of go any way.
My advice is to ASK. I know it’s weird and uncomfortable, but it’s better to be on the same page as your good friend who’s getting hitched, than for either of you to feel stuck or resentful afterwards!
Hope that helps!

Where do you look for the list of the songs needed for the reception? I am getting married in September 12, 2009 and I need to have the list of songs that need to be used.
Julia: This may be kind of a generic list, but could be a starting point:
