Is it okay to ask relatives to help pay if they are in the bridal party?
I am a first time MOH, and have no real clue on proper wedding etiquette. The bridal party consists of the bride's sister, the groom's sister, 2 of her other close friends, plus me. I have read in the other postings that the MOH is responsible in throwing the bridal shower, which I am willing to do. However, the bride's other 2 friends also want to chip in to help pay for the cost of the shower. To be fair, I also want to ask the couple's siblings to help pay for the shower. Is it okay for to ask them to help pay for the bridal shower, since they are part of the wedding party?

The bridal shower is an optional event and no one, not even the maid of honor, is obligated to host. If you want to throw a shower, no one else is obligated to help. However, you certainly can ask to have help. It is up to them to agree. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
