I have a question. When the bride invites her bridesmaids to a "bridesmaids brunch", who is supposed to pay? I have always been under the impression from things Ive read here & there, that sometimes the bride will invite her bridesmaids to a group meal on her tab. However, recently at a "bridesmaids brunch" this was not the case, the bride made no movements to pay & we all paid for our individual meals. I was alittle taken back by it. If it was more of a "lets get together & eat" rather than refering it to a "bridesmaid brunch", I think I wouldnt have been "mislead" in my thinking. The tab was about $50 for 7 of us, including the bride herself. It wasnt an exhorbatant amount of money, so its fine. But just wondering if Im nuts to have thought she may have been treating us, considering the wording she used.
If the bride is inviting you to a brunch then you can assume she's paying. However, not everyone is etiquette-wise so, be prepared to pay if necessary. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
