It’s no secret that being a bridesmaid is an expensive role for your friends to take on. They will find themselves paying for pre-wedding events, transportation costs, and even for the dress you’d like them to wear on the big day. So if you’re looking for a way to pick up some of the expenses your bridesmaids may incur, here are 6 things you should pay for, if you can, for your bridal party.

1. A Wedding Survival Kit

Whether it’s a bowl filled with travel sized toiletries from the drug store or a personalized tote bag filled with emergency items for the day, be sure to equip your bridesmaids with any last-minute must-have items.

2. Their Transportation Home

Since the wedding day is a long night and the open bar can make it feel even longer, be sure to provide your wedding party with transpiration home or back to the hotel. You can do this through a taxi service or a scheduled van.

3. Hair and Makeup

If it’s in your budget, a great treat and gift for your bridal party is to pick up the tab on their glam squad, paying for them to get both their hair and makeup done on the wedding day.

4. Bridesmaid Accessories

Any and all items you’d like your bridesmaids to wear on the wedding day, to accentuate the dress, can be items that you buy for each bridesmaid as the ultimate thank you gift.

5. A Mani/Pedi

Because there’s no better way to relax and pamper your bridal party before the wedding than with a group outing to get a mani/pedi, especially when you’re paying for it!

6. Alterations

If your asking your bridesmaids to buy their dresses themselves, one thing you can do to help keep the cost down is offer to pay for any alterations that they might need.
