Bridesmaid's Luncheon
Date: 01/18/2005 at 4:32 PM
When one of my friends got married last year, she had a lunch for all of the bridesmaids and females in the wedding and all of the female family members in town for the wedding. It was really neat, but it seems like an extra expense when I'm already spending so much money on my wedding.
Does anyone know if a bridesmaid's lunch is a standard thing to have for a wedding or if this is something I can cut out of my wedding budget? Also, what are you typically supposed to do at one of these lunches?
REPLIES:
I totally understand what you mean about it being an extra expense. I think you should only have a bridesmaid's lunch if you really want to and if you have the money in the budget. Otherwise, I don't think it is a mandatory event before a wedding.
I have been to a couple of bridesmaid's lunches and we typically just ate lunch and then friends and family members took pictures with the bride. At one lunch, they had a cake for dessert. I hope this helps.
I am not planning on having a bridesmaids luncheon because most of my bridesmaids live out of town, and will not be arriving until the day before, for the rehearsal dinner. Technically, we could have the luncheon on this day, but I think that we might have enough to do... I considered having a luncheon, but my fiance and I agreed that it just was not in our budget. I agree with togetherforever132 -- its not necessary unless you have extra money and extra time.
Bridesmaids luncheons can come in all different varieties. It is one of those things that can truly be done on any budget and coordinated however you see fit. It can be as simple as just you and your bridesmaids meeting at a local coffee shop for some pre-wedding catching up, or a large event with all the bells and whistles with numerous close female family members in attendence. The Bridesmaids "luncheon" doesn't even have to deal with food. It could be a trip to the spa for massages, manicures, pedicures, etc. It is simply a good chance for you and your bridesmaids to get together and for you to show how much you have appreciated their support throughout the wedding planning process. So don't feel pressured to have some fancy get together, just do whatever fits well with your time and budget.
