Footing the Bill for One Bridesmaid but Not the Other?

images (4)Question: Dear Julie, I’m getting married in the Bahamas in a few months and my fiance and I have invited a small group of close friends and family members to come along with us to celebrate our beautiful wedding. I’ve asked my two closest girlfriends to be my bridesmaids. The problem is, one of my friends has a great job and can make this trip, no problem, but the other has been having a really tough time financially and can’t really afford to go. She lost her job last year and just had a terrible year. I want her there so badly and I want to offer to pay for her to come. But we can’t afford to pay for everyone, all of our other guests are footing their own bills. Julie, is it really rude for me to pay for my one girlfriend and not our other guests? Thanks, Amanda

 

Answer: Amanda, you’re very kind for wanting to pay for your friend to be with you on your special day. I know what it’s like to have best girlfriends and it’s a small price to pay to have them by your side at your wedding. I suppose this question is best answered by your other bridesmaid. I would ask her how she felt if you helped your cash strapped friend to come along. Hopefully the bridesmaid with a good job and money will not mind at all and will understand. Beyond her, I’m not sure it’s the business of all of your other guests. They don’t need to know that you gave some money to your friend so she could be at your wedding. It’s your special day, you should be able to help her get there if you want her there. Enjoy!
