One of my bridesmaids can't afford everything for the wedding. Is it so wrong for me to help her out a little. I really want her in the wedding. I'm just not sure what to do.

Dear Punkchic:
You're very sweet to consider your bridesmaid's budget.
It's not wrong for you to want to help her, just be careful about how you approach the subject. These issues can be tricky and touchy. If she brings the subject up I would offer to help pick up the tab for whatever items she says she cannot afford. Feel her out and see how receptive she is since it is obvious that you wouldn't want to offend her.
If she seems a little sheepish about accepting the offer then maybe just offer to "lend" her the money. Then, if she wants to pay you back, great. If she never does, that's fine too. Don't let money come between friends. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
