Lisa Torres has gone viral for a TikTok that has garnered over 4 million views where she provides a PSA for anyone who may be putting together a bridal party currently or in the near future.
In the video, Torres explains how before she was ever a bridesmaid, she "wasn't fully aware of all the costs and expectations associated with being a bridesmaid," and understands the costs of being a bridesmaid can be "overwhelming" at times.
So, she sent each of her bridesmaids a letter that outlined all the commitment that come with being a bridesmaids, including all the expenses they should prepare for.
The most important point for Torres was that each bridesmaid had the option to "opt out" of the bridal party in case the cost became too overwhelming.

What financial responsibilities for a wedding belong to the bride and her bridesmaids? Are bridesmaids responsible for encumbering with the entire cost of the dress, tickets to wherever the bachelorette party is, and the time commitment that comes with being a bridesmaid?
And even further, are weddings and the parties associated with them just becoming so extravagant to the point of ridiculousness?
