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 asking them to pay MORE than what it actually costs to help cover your own, that's wrong IMO. Asking them to pay just what theirs costs? Totally cool, as long as you're fine if some choose to do their own.

I agree. Not sure why you'd have them pay more for their make-up than it actually costs; doing that will likely ruffle some feathers

I couldn't tell if the extra $15 was to cover the hair too, it was worded ambiguously.

[nyyhoneybee]

Ah ok....yes, we would ask for about $100 total and cover the rest. I'm assuming both together will be about $150

[nyyhoneybee]

I would never do that

You said their hair/makeup was $85 but you'd ask them to pay $100. That's where the confusion lies.

I noticed when I re-read it and the rest of your comments, it would be for both hair and makeup we would cover the rest

Ah ok, I misunderstood

Yeah I thought that at first but at a second glance, the OP said make-up costs $85 and she doesn't know how much hair costs so she'd ask for $100 for both. Hair might even cost more than $15 in which case she's giving them a deal.
