Hotel and Travel Expenses
Many brides tell us they are confused about who should foot the bill for the wedding party's travel and hotel. The answer is simple: Each attendant is expected to pay her own way. The only exception to this rule is if the bride chooses to have her wedding party arrive at the wedding in a limo; that's one wedding-party travel expense that's fully and undeniably the bride and groom's responsibility.

The Wedding Gift
Of course, your bridesmaids will want to buy you a wedding gift. This is usually something chosen from the registry and can be given either jointly or as individuals.
