Who pays for the spa trip for the bridal party?

My sister is getting married and I am her Maid of Honor. I wanted to plan a spa day for the Bridal party on the day of her wedding. Just mani's and pedi's and some girl time. So who pays for that? Do I make everyone pay a little something or is it my responsibility to cover it?

If you are "treating" the bridal party then YOU are paying for all the services and the gratuity. And you should make that clear to everyone that this is "your treat."

And if you cannot afford to treat everyone then can you inform each member of the bridal party what the plans are (the time and date) and what the service fees are ($$$) and then let them decide if they want to join you. Ask for some type of Yes or No response from each person. I don't think asking members of the bridal party to contribute is a good idea.

I know of situations where bridal party members walked out of the hair salon because they assumed that the Mother of the Bride or the Bride were "treating" them to a manicure or pedicure or getting their hair done the morning of the wedding.
