What is the average price to be a bridesmaid?

My friend is getting married in 2 years and I am starting a savings account for her wedding (plane ticket, bridesmaid dress, hair, etc) and I need to know about on average how much it is to be a bridesmaid. I've already figured in $800 for plane ticket, hotel and food but I completely forgot about dress, hair, makeup, shoes and jewelry! Any help is appreciated Thank you!

ballpark...(numbers are round up for estimation)

800 plane ticket, hotel, food
200 dress
150 hair and makeup
100 shoes
100 jewelry
150 present
100 bachelorette party, stag fun

1600? Give or take...

Unique Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

There are many unique bridesmaid gift ideas on the market. The following three are excellent ideas for any bride to choose for her bridesmaids. However, as a bride, you must consider your budget and your bridesmaids' personalities before choosing the perfect gifts for your girlfriends. Fortunately, there are bridesmaids gifts that are appropriate for everyone and every budget.

Personalized Bath Robes
A personalized robe given to each bridesmaid is a unique bridesmaid gift. You may consider choosing your bridesmaids favorite colors and have their names or initials monogrammed on the back of the robe. Alternatively, you may consider having each bridesmaid's initials monogrammed on the front of the robe and embroider "bridesmaid" on the back. This is a great way to differentiate each robe and have it serve as a reminder of your wedding day for years to come. Your bridesmaids will certainly appreciate this unique bridesmaid gift.

Makeovers
The bride wants to be beautiful on her wedding day as well as should the bridesmaids. A unique bridesmaid gift idea is to provide makeovers for each bridesmaid. Having a professional do your bridesmaids makeup will enable each bridesmaid to look beautiful and it will save them time and money. A professional makeover will give your bridal party a more polished look for the wedding photos, which is an added bonus!

Day at the Spa
Weddings are stressful-not just for the bride and groom. Bridesmaids are responsible for taking on some of the stress that a normal bride has to deal with. As a gesture of appreciation for their hard work and dedication, consider a unique bridesmaid gift that will help them relax, along with you. A day at the spa is a unique bridesmaid gift that every girl will love. Consider a package that includes a massage, manicure, and pedicure. Alternatively, if you can afford more, add eyebrow waxing, a longer massage, or some other stress-relieving therapy.

Engraved Jewelry Gifts
Oval bangle bracelets or necklaces with heart or oval tags can be personalized with your friend's initials or monograms. Silver bracelets with engraved tags and lockets are also unique gifts to give your bridesmaids.

Girls Weekend
Another unique bridesmaid gift idea is to sponsor a girl's weekend. This should be a weekend dedication to fun and relaxation! You may consider renting a house on the beach or a suite in a nice hotel. Then, cut yourselves off from civilization and just enjoy hanging out, gossiping, and relaxing. Remember, refrain from any conversations that will cause more stress!

Wedding Weekend Supplies
Your bridesmaids will need a lot of supplies the weekend of your wedding. So, consider buying a personalized tote bag and perhaps including all kinds of goodies for your bridesmaids. This bag can house their shoes, jewelry, an extra pair of pantyhose, lotion, breath mints, and even a pretty lip-gloss. Your bridesmaids will love the extra supplies and it is a perfect way to say "thank you."

These are just a few unique bridesmaid gift ideas. Feel free to be creative and conjure up your own special bridesmaid gift idea. Your bridesmaids gift is sure to be appreciated by the women in your wedding.

Wedding Etiquette For Brides - 5 Beautiful Tips To Be A Well-mannered Bride

The most renowned Miss Manners, Emily Post has now been followed by a lot of other people who have become specialists in the field and have themselves become Miss Manners on Wedding Etiquette. Presented here, are a few tips which would help all you blushing brides out there to get a grip on the Miss Manners you need to follow as per Wedding Etiquette.

# 1. The wedding gown:-
According to Miss Manners, the modern day Wedding Etiquette is not all that stern. Brides of today do not have to stick to the traditional ultra white, crème and beige wedding gowns. They can rather experiment with their favorite pastels or even with any color which would go along with the theme especially in case of a Destination wedding. An aquamarine or turquoise colored gown to match the fresh sea water is a great option in case of a beach wedding.

It is more important that you select a dress which would compliment your skin tone and the one which would, at the same time, accentuate your curves in the best way possible.

#2. The shoes:-
Ankle strap and open toed wedding shoes are allowed by Wedding Etiquette say, Miss Manners and white is no more the indispensable color for the wedding shoe. Crème, beige, ivory or even a red colored shoe can be worn to go with a wedding gown in ultra white.

In this regard, comfort and style score high. Miss Manners say, less ornamented shoes are most preferred, though rhinestones do not confront Wedding Etiquette in any way.

#3. Announcement of the engagement:-
For the first time brides, the most economic and simple way to announce the engagement to close friends and family is during a dinner. However, in case you are ready to burn a hole in your pocket, an engagement ball can be hosted specially for this purpose or an announcement can be made for the same in newspapers, say Miss Manners.

Miss Manners suggest second time brides to speak to their kids before making an announcement in public. Secondly, it is necessary to discuss about the plans to their parents prior to their ex-spouse. Wedding Etiquette is, however, not breached if the bride, who may not have an offspring from her ex-spouse, has neglected to tell him about the engagement. Unless the bride has joint custody of children with her ex-spouse, she is completely free from any kind of obligation towards him.

#4. Who are to be invited?
In the opinion of Miss Manners, it is totally in the hands of the hosts of the wedding to actually decide who are to be invited and who can be avoided or neglected. However, the parents can have a say, in case they host the wedding jointly. In general, it is the bridegroom and the bride who decide who are to be invited, as it is the day of their lives.

The bride’s father cannot invite the ex-guy or ex-spouse of the bride, who may be his best employee, if the bride and/or groom are not fine with it, though he might be the one who has hosted the wedding.

#5. Cash gifts and wedding registry:-
Cash gifts are a complete no-no as stated by Miss Manners. It is one of the greatest errors of Wedding Etiquette. Miss Manners also say that asking for a cash gift would make the groom and the bride look materialistic. Miss Manners is not in favor of persistence of cash gifts even if it is for the purpose of charity.

Wedding registry cards are fine with Miss Manners though they should not be enclosed with the invitation. Online registry is an enhanced option to inform guests who would like to gift according to the couple’s wish lists.

By following this, Wedding Etiquette is conserved and it would also present a pretty picture of the bride and groom, rather than presenting them as pushy people.
