Would you be happy as a bridesmaid at this wedding?

[xalyssx]

I am currently planning my wedding, and I am trying to make it as cheap and as easy as possible for my bridesmaids, because I know that at least two of them don't have a lot of money. Does this seem like a good way to organise it?
I have bought the dresses and jewellery for my bridesmaids, and I am going to ask them to wear dark shoes, I don't mind what type. I am going to ask them to do their own hair and make-up, and I don't mind how they do it, as I know that they will be appropriate.
For the hen night, I plan to go to the cinema, then out to an Italian restaurant, then to my house for board games, drinks and chat etc. It is all within walking distance, and I will make it clear to everyone invited that they don't have to come to every part, in case they can't get time off work or don't have enough money.
Does this seem like a good situation in which to be a bridesmaid? If not, what should I change/add? Thanks.

I think it sounds fine and you sound like a lovely bride! Good luck.

[booface]

wow, you sound like a very considerate bride! Sounds perfect to me, but I did get married ages ago, so maybe someone who got married more recently might have more up to date ideas!

It sounds lovely!

[Tiggeryoubastard]

Sounds bloody awful! You've given them nothing to whinge about. You bad, bad bride.
Nah, sounds perfect. Hope you all enjoy the day.

It sounds lovely. Weddings can get so elaborate, and your plan sounds perfect - far more about friendship than show. I have never been a bridesmaid, can I be one of yours?

[SoftBlocks]

That sounds great and you sound like a very nice, thoughtful friend. Have a lovely time!

[Devora]

Go on, start the trend! It sounds lovely.

[VimFuego101]

Sounds lovely!

[SenecaFalls]

It sounds like a lovely plan, OP.

[Octopixy]

Sounds lovely! I got married in June and I had the same concerns as you.
I was keen to have a low key hen do which would be affordable for everyone as I have been invited to ones that have cost a small fortune! My lovely bridesmaids organised a hen do very similar to your plans and we had great fun!

You've robbed them of the chance to start a thread on mumsnet about feeling pressured to go on an expensive hen weekend with planned activities that they secretly loathe the idea of, you inconsiderate non-bridezilla you.

It actually sounds perfect, if I was invited to a hen night like that I'd really look forward to it, and I'd say you've struck the right balance with dresses hair and makeup.
