I've been in two wedding and all I paid for was getting my hair done. It is not customary for the wedding party to pay for their own things. Although, I understand that some brides need a little help in paying for the wedding. What I am saying do not act like I have to do this for you or like I'm going to actully benefit by being in your wedding. Be thankful and grateful. Know that this is something I did not have to do. I am a good friend helping you out.
Topic of this thread is a non-issue any bride should volunteer to repay the bridesmaids for their out pocket expenses.

It wasn't my intention to be rude... I was just stating what is typically done these days wedding-wise because it seemed like some posters were wanting to know. Visiting any wedding-related chat board will provide the same info. That being said, I'm extremely grateful and thankful for my wedding party. Having been on both sides of the aisle, I consider it to be both an honor to be a bridesmaid, and an honor to have someone accept my invitation to be a bridesmaid. I believe that my girls know how much I appreciate them making the financial and time-consuming commitment to be part of my day -- and I will definitely show my thanks at the bridesmaids' brunch, the rehearsal dinner, and the reception.
