Hair & Makeup Question

[nyyhoneybee]

Our entire wedding is being paid for by my fiance and all of my bridal party knows that. Is it awful to ask anyone who wants hair and makeup done professionally to help us out a little bit with the costs? Makeup is going to be $85 a person ($200 for me) and hair I have no idea how much yet. Is it wrong if we ask everyone to give us $100 towards it

If you're giving them the option of having their hair and makeup done, it's fine to ask them to pay for it. Those who don't want to pay for it can do their own hair and makeup.

If you're requiring them to get their hair/makeup done because you want them to all look a certain way, it is wrong to ask them to pay for it in my opinion.

Exactly this.

My thoughts too.

If it were just my BM and one of the flower girls I wouldn't mind paying for it but we have family that wants it all done professionally as well. I honestly don't want them looking all the same at all

This. I gave my bridesmaids the option of having hair and makeup done with me, but it's not required, so they're paying for it if they opt in. However, we're all doing mani-pedis the day before and I'm paying for that since it's a group thing.
