3. 3. If you are in charge of the bridal shower, know that it is okay to do it cheaply. You can still host a very nice party on a budget. Look online for tips in ways to do this.
4. 4. Do not be afraid to say no if you cannot afford it. The bride and groom will understand if you cannot afford to be part of the wedding party. They are spending a lot of money themselves, but they may find a way to help you out.
