Being a bridesmaid is one of the most expensive roles, you have the shower, bachelorette party, gifts on top of gifts on top of gifts, plus your dress, hair, nails, shoes, all the things.

But, there is a way to cut some cost.

Especially when it comes to those nails, hair, make-up and shoes. If the bride isn't requiring you to purchase new shoes, borrow some from a friend.
