It might seem like a simple question. A bride chooses her best girls and lets them have the honor of standing by her side on her wedding day. The least her bridesmaids can do is purchase their own dress. But this does not always apply. Here are a few scenarios to consider when deciding who pays for the bridesmaids' dresses.

Choosing to get a tattoo is not a decision to be made lightly. If you've been inked, chances are your tattoo means a great deal to you (since it's going to be there forever). That being said, some brides still choose to cover their tattoos or those of the wedding party during their wedding. This could be for any number of reasons, and there's really no right or wrong answer to the new age question: Should I show my (or my wedding parties') tattoos during my wedding?

It's the one thing no bride-to-be wants to think about. What happens if your engagement is broken? In case of the unthinkable, we've compiled a list of the proper etiquette for a broken engagement.
The Ring
Whether or not the bride keeps the engagement ring depends on a combination of things. Some people believe that the ring is a gift, and therefore the woman should get to keep it no matter the circumstances (this also depends on the state's laws). A general rule is if the man breaks the engagement, she will keep the ring. If the woman breaks the engagement, it is common courtesy to return the ring. A ring that is a family heirloom should be returned to whichever family it originated. A couple that purchased the ring together should make the decision of the ring's fate together as well.

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
Can a grandmother be a godparent for a wedding?
Answer:
If the bride is having the godparents tradition for her wedding, it can really be anyone. Talk to the bride and groom and tell them of your wishes. See what they think and decide on what role you can have in the wedding if the role of godparent is already decided.

What should my step mother's role be in the wedding? I'd like to include her in some way since she has been a big party of my life.
Answer:
It is polite to include her. First, you can have her walked down the aisle by a groomsman and would sit in the third row or if your mother is fine with it, then she could sit in the front row. You could also have her in the receiving line if you would like, but it's not necessary. This is all up to you and how big of a role you want her to have in your wedding.

Who should be the first to know about my engagement?
Answer:
I would avoid broadcasting it on social media until you've told the most important people in your life first. If you have children, they should be the first to know. Other than that, let your family know first and then your closest friends. Once everyone you're close with knows, start broadcasting it to the world if you so desire.

Do we need to feed our wedding vendors?
Answer:
A lot of your wedding vendors will put that in your contract. If it's not, it's just good etiquette to serve them. They may even be grateful for your nice gesture and throw in something for you or just be more attentive to the service they are providing you.
