Wedding Advice

I`m a bridesmaid in a wedding and I am afraid that I bit off more than I can chew. Just to be in the bridal party is $200, the cost of the limo for the bachelorette party is $72 and plus hotel the night before the wedding; and to top it all off, I need to get a wedding gift, shower gift and bachelorette party gift?!! HELP!! I need some advice pronto! Are all these gifts necessary on top of the cost of being in the bridal party itself?

I didn`t buy a bacholorette gift. The party and buying drinks all night is more than enough. And no one says you have to spend $500 on a shower and wedding gift. $100-$150 bucks tops. Being in a wedding is not free, but it is an honor. Take it in stride and remember that when you get married your BM`s have to worry about the same things.
