This is an interesting read especially since I posted it before I got into weddings as my "fun job" few years ago (more on the consulting and visuals side.)

With that said, there is no set amount for what a maid should spend.

However, I will say that it is imperative for the bride to consider her bridal party and their financial situations in her planning.

Example: I have clients who are 22. The vast majority of their maids are either in college or fresh out. So it makes no sense for her to plan on Amsale gowns, a Parisian bridal shower etc. when her party is not in a position to afford it.

In contrast, if you're 40, and your maids are all higher paid professionals, etc. the gifts, flights, more couture dresses are not as much of a strain.

So it just depends on your party and where they are in life. I shy away from "dear Lord, that is too much money" because what is expensive to some is not at all for others.
Just depends on the financial constraints of the party.
