I am already helping out with her wedding, I'm currently in school (and my husband is in school too) but when this semester gets out we will be packing up to go to where she lives (my parents are near there) to be there for a month prior to the wedding to help out, visit with family. Over the last few months I have gotten pretty good at making cakes (with fondant, etc) and she wants me to do her cake which is fine I'm excited to do it and show off my talents I guess.
It is ten times better than the wedding my parents gave me when I got married and they are in a worse financial situation now more than ever because their business went down with the economy last year. And she's getting it at some garden, with a huge wedding party and gorgeous invitations and catered and all the WORKS and I got a Wal-Mart wedding in an industrial church gym. My bridesmaid dresses were nothing fancy, just a dress that was cheap and fit all the brides, but they were modest and flattering on everyone.
Answer: Saying yes to be in the wedding is agreeing to pay for the dress, the shoes, your flight, a hotel, and be there for anything she might need. If you are short on cash then you can always say no. She will understand, especially with a child on the way. But let her know ASAP so she can make adjustments.
Sounds like it would work just fine with what you have. Ask around and see if any family friends have a nice camera and would be willing to do photography for you. If they have a nice digital camera then they can burn them on a disc for you and you can print them yourselves. I don't know what kind of reception you are planning on but if you want dancing then I would start saving for a DJ now, they are pretty pricey. Or if you know someone willing to loan out some nice sound equipment then you could do the music yourselves as well. A tip I might have for you when selecting bridesmaid dresses is to check out department stores. Around May is when all the prom dresses are going to be on super sale so maybe you can find something nice for your girls then.
You would buy your own bridesmaid gown. However, if you are very concerned about the cost, you should be discussing it with her. Actually, most brides are very reasonable, and try to keep the cost down. However, if you are really tight for money, you should not have accepted - best friend, or no best friend. She perhaps should have also realized the position you would be in with a new baby.
