You should be happy people take time out of their day to be there for you, planning a party and even getting you gifts!
*If you think you can expect something like this of people, you’re a bad friend.*
_Even if they were all rich, it would still be so out of pocket…_
Exactly
If they were all rich, it wouldn’t even get mentioned, just the outfits worn in billionaire weddings go over the 20.000. The problem is when your dear friend is a regular money person. It’s just plain rude to ask to spend that kind of money. Oh, and it’s also rude and delusional when the Bride is a regular money person and is asking people tio pay for her Hollywood wedding.
If someone suggests $20K is reasonable to ask of any friend for a wedding; to quote the evergreen meme: “I’m not falling for that hot take. That’s clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion.”
Definitely doesn’t seem real—I’d be showing up at their house/in person being like, “someone hacked your phone and is trying to scam your bridesmaids out of $20k APIECE” 😂
Lol 😆 😅
Not reasonable to expect AT ALL
but wouldn’t rule it out as fake either because people have lost their damn minds these days
My friend got married last year. I saved for a few months so I had a budget of $800 bucks I was going to spend with 500 being what I was going to gift her. I shopped second hand for my bridesmaids dress and shoes as well as the dress I wore for the day the bridesmaids took her around town. I was directly in the budget. A few of the other bridesmaids, though, got the great idea to spend a day in a spa. This was definitely going to push me out the budget so I told my friend, the bride, that if we did this, it was going to come out of the money o was going to give her. Thankfully my friend is a reasonable person who only wanted us to be there for her wedding and was going to say no to the spa thing regardless. Talk to the bride, y’all, it might be the bridesmaids trying to live through the bride.
I’m glad the bride wasn’t a diva at all. One of my cousins had a pretty nice wedding but she’s always been very conscious of money and considerate of others. She made sure to tell people that they could dress however they wanted because she didn’t want anyone to feel pressured to spend or like they couldn’t go if they didn’t have a formal outfit. She had a few bridesmaids and they also got to wear whatever they wanted. I thought that was cool and everyone had a good time, so that’s all that matters.
Not just the money but the time: it seems like some brides and their ‘teams’, all of the sudden have all the extra time to spend, planning, shopping, going to spas and “experiences’, geez… I get tired just going to a bachelorette party, yawn.
This CANNOT be real. If it is, the bride is a shitty person, and you should end that friendship and feel amazing and 100% guilt’free 😂
This is where people get it wrong: someone who is actually wealthy and not cosplaying on others generosity pays for everything: hotel and travel if it’s destination, bridesmaid dress and shoes, and even gives gift bags.
This text exchange is so psycho it could be real, I’ve been in situations I would never have believed in a movie. Sounds like they want to be financially controlling of the bridesmaids like a cult…
Right the text about are you all planning a special gift ? Line sounds like something this type of person would actually say.
My actual wedding and reception cost $7,000.
Same!! And that included attire, rings, cake, venue, photographer, and food for 120 people!
@@raquels.what state is this?
@@raquels. what year was this?
The audacity to ask this sounds crazy. It’s not a once in a lifetime opportunity. That would be something like swimming with dolphins or skiing the Swiss alps. It’s nice that she laid it out in a document but my goodness…. 20k. For someone ELSE’s wedding. Nope. 👎🏻
Block her. What the actual f.
The audacity of some people is crazy! Asking me to at least spend 20k at a wedding that’s not even my own…
Including your own wedding it’s not worth it 😂
Are they actually real messages? 😮are there actually ppl out there called “friends” that treat others like that? I mean do they know what “friendship” actually means?
Sometimes events like these reveal to you the people who shouldn’t be in your life.
Sure. And saying “No” to an invitation only hurts 5 mins. and everyone is ok after that.
Yah, has to be fake. When ever I’ve had to travel a considerable distance for a wedding I’ve even been told not to bring a gift.
For my best friend’s wedding I was the gift, 2000km each way.
This has to be fake…if your friend has student loan payments, we know they already do not have money. If you are the rich one, yet not rich enough to cover the extravagant expenses of YOUR wedding plans..you can not expect an attendee who is not to. And if you are not rich, why should one member of your bridal party have costs around 20K. After reading about how lavish the weddiing was in India the other day, where all who were invited were also wealthy and yet were treated to so many things, regular people need to reign it in and keep it affordable all around.
I know I got married a while ago, but we did our entire wedding for less than 20,000. To be fair, it was less than the average at the time, but still, to ask one person to contribute that much, when they are only in the bridal party, is a wild request.
Im not gonna spend 20k on my own wedding so im definitely not voughing up that amount for someone else’s. Whats the itinerary? Girls euro Bachelorette party? Like wtf is costing that much for a bridesmaid?
