According to a survey, a third of people who were part of a bridal party went into debt to cover all the related expenses.
Bridesmaid burnout is "real". They to be honest from the start and decline with grace, like this: "I appreciate and feel so honored you're asking me, you know, to be a bridesmaid. But, I have to decline because everything you guys are doing is not my budget."

Bridesmaids play an important role for the bride from all the pre-wedding events to the event itself, not only for emotional support, but throughout the years of friendship and especially leading up to such an important day.

There's so much financial responsibility, and then just trying to juggle not only their personal lives and careers, but also sometimes people are bridesmaids at five and six different weddings in a summer, which is really, really hard.

If you're going to be saying yes, say yes to those who you could see doing this for you actually in the future. And if not, if you can't see 'em ever doing this for you in return, then I would say maybe skip out on it.
And to large bridal parties of 13, 14, 15 girls, it's really important to nail down what everybody's responsibilities are leading up to the day of, not just only one or two girls that are actually doing the work.
