Who paid for the wedding party outfits?

One of the earliest and biggest conundrums you'll encounter when you’re planning a wedding is figuring out who pays for what. There are lots of different ways to divvy things up, so share your own perspective!

Will the members of your wedding party buy or rent their own attire or will you be covering those costs?

    The wedding party is going to pay for their own outfits. It just isn't in our budget to cover any of the cost.

    My MOH got a great deal on her dress and refused to let me pay for it.

    Our best man is my FH’s cousin that lives with us, we offered to pay for his tux rental.

    We don't have a wedding party, so no need to pay for any of that stuff! YAY!

    The wedding party had to cover the cost of their own outfits.

    My parents are buying all the bridesmaids dresses as something their money is going towards, they get to keep their dresses as a gift (they’ll be less than 100 each), the groomsmen are responsible for their suits. They have the choice to rent or to buy.

    We're not at that part yet, but we're most-likely going to have our wedding party cover their own outfits.

    Agreed! We also covered the bridesmaids' dresses and groomsmens' rentals. I didn't realize until we started planning that this wasn't how it was normally done but felt strongly that we should cover it anyways.

    They've paid for their own. Although we have paid for the ties and pocket squares for the groomsmen.

    They will pay for their own. The girls need to buy dresses, and the boys will be renting tuxedos.

    They are paying for their own attire, but we might chip in for uniform accessories (i.e. hair clips for the ladies and ties or socks for the gents) not sure what the accessory is yet if we are even doing it.

    I gave my bridesmaids $150 each to buy a dress of their choice in blush. They went over and paid the difference themselves. My FH bought his groomsmen good knit ties to wear with suits they already owned.

    The wedding party outfits will be paid for by my FH and I out of our wedding budget. We both believe strongly that if we are the ones asking them to be a part of our day, and want them to look and dress a certain way, that it is our responsibility to purchase what they will need.

    The wedding party is buying their outfits. Girls are buying the dress but I let them pick it out. The guys are probably buying the suits they’lol wear but they’re all excited to go suit shopping so win for us! I’m not making the girls buy specific shoes. Told them just pick something dark and most importantly comfy (could be new or something already on their closet).

    They're each paying for their own outfits, in terms of the suits the guys have all agreed that having an extra (blue) suit is not bad as they can re-use it in future. as for the girls, we all found some really affordable choices so that it is not a big hit to their budgets.

    If I was having the girls wear all the same dress then I would feel like I should pay for some of it because I would be forcing them to get the dress but seeing as how I am only requesting that they be the same colour and maybe the same length - I will be assuming they will pay. I won't expect them to buy really expensive dresses? As for the men - we have a friend in the group who works at Moores so we are hoping she can hook us up with a good rental deal Smiley laugh

    We are hoping that each member of our party already has a black suit (we don’t care if they exactly match because we just don’t think that will matter to us I’m 6 months, let alone 20 years from now) and a white shirt, and we will gift them their ties!
