I’m definitely in the camp of those who say don’t pay for the wedding if you can’t attend and definitely don’t pay for bridesmaids’ dresses! Finding a bridesmaid dress that a) all of your friends look decent in, b) can afford, and c) can wear again is one of the integral challenges of bridehood. Or bridedom. :D

As for “having money left over at the end of the month,” this girl needs to realize that that is called SAVINGS. And that they will need that money as soon as there is an unplanned expense such as a car repair or an illness. (Or a bridesmaid dress to buy. )
