Bridesmaid Refuses to Pitch in $500 for Lavish Wedding Gift, Gets Labeled 'Unsupportive' by Bridal Party

Wedding drama, anyone? A bridesmaid recently found herself in hot water with the bridal party after refusing to pitch in $500 for a lavish group gift. Yep, $500. And it's already a destination wedding, so she's spending a fortune just to travel. When she politely declined, the rest of the bridal party labeled her "unsupportive."

Being a bridesmaid is expensive enough. Between the dress, bachelorette party, pre-wedding events, and now the added travel costs, her budget is stretched thin. Throw in a $500 group gift, and it's no wonder she drew the line. But calling her "unsupportive" for not coughing up even more cash? That's a big no in our book. Weddings should be about celebrating love, not turning into a competition over who can spend the most. At the end of the day, support isn't about your wallet. Maybe this bridal party needs a reminder that showing up is what really counts.
