Who usually pays for the page boys suit???

I was asked over a year ago for both of my kids to be part of a wedding party. The dress for my daughter was purchased and I didn%26#039;t have to pay for it (well nothing was mentioned). They were going to hire a suit for my son to wear but decided to buy one instead. Now, they are asking me to pay for it. Who usually pays for the page boys/flower girls clothes???

Who usually pays for the page boys suit???
i don%26#039;t think that it%26#039;s fair when ppl are planning a wedding...that just because they ask you...you should be required to pay. Now there is a fine line...and many times it has crossed my mind...since I%26#039;m planning a wedding of my own. It%26#039;s an easy out to get them to pay for it, especially if you say you will take care of hair/nails/make-up for the girls. However, it is really unfair to have them buy it when it is a dress they will NEVER wear again. I think that if you are really strapped for cash..then you need to leave out ppl like page boys and flower girls. It%26#039;s hard from your standpoint to have to feel like you are cheap, etc. but it%26#039;s really not your responsability. If you could use the suit in the future, then maybe offer to pay half...Although I%26#039;m not sure what good etiquette is...good luck that%26#039;s a tough one.
Reply:Usually the parents of the kids do but in this case they should have discussed it first and made sure that you could afford what they bought if they wanted payed back. I think that it also depends on how close you are to them it may ruin your friendship. If the cost is a lot offer to pay half if you want. If it%26#039;s not to much you could pay for them. But also if you decide not to then tell them they should have discussed them with you first. So you could have planned to pay for them.
Reply:The parents pay. It is nice if the bride or groom offer, but yes, they can specify what the kid is supposed to wear, and not pay.


Has the suit already been bought? If not, that gives you the option to rent. It also gives you the option to look at other stores and get the same suit for cheaper, and it also gives you room to tell the bride that it is too expensive/formal/impractical, and talk her into something else.


so they bought and paid for the other kid%26#039;s dress? thank them kindly for that.
Reply:The parents of the children normal pay tho normally something is asked or said cost when you were asked maybe they just assumed you knew that it was expected maybe they thought the cost of 2 was too much and decide to pay one or got a deal on your daughters dress when they bought the other dress? The one way to find out is ask the couple what suit ask if you can shop around to find a deal and thank them for buying the other dress!
Reply:jemma.. i believe she was saying the other party decided to buy the suit not her. you really need to read the question carefully before answering. OK if in the beginning nothing was mentioned about you having to put out money, just simply tell them for some unseen reason you werent aware that you would have to pay and you cant. do apologize but they should have made it clear when they asked your son to be a part of it in the beginning.
Reply:the parents of the involved child usually pay. These outfits are very expensive if bought new, but can be purchased for much much less at a consignment store. Every consignment store seems to have them, too, since no one ever really wears one twice. And the outfit will be as good as new too, since it%26#039;s been worn only once. Try to go this route, if you%26#039;re concerned about the expense.
Reply:When you agree to be a part of a wedding party then you agree to incure the costs. As this is concerning your children you should cover the costs. It is very odd though that they felt the need to buy the suit. Can you ask if they could return it and you would cover the cost of renting?
Reply:If they offered to rent the suit, but you chose to purchase one, then I feel you should buy it. It was your choice not to have them pay to rent it.
Reply:the parents pay for that stuff, you%26#039;re lucky you got out of paying for one of them, the dress. it sucks because your son will grow out of the suit but c%26#039;est la vie
Reply:The parents do pay for their childrens attire. Unless the bride and groom offer to pay.
Reply:the groom
Reply:if you thought of buying well then
