My GFs brother married last year and they paid for all the rooms in this bed and breakfast they stayed in for all the close family, pastor, and bridesmaids & groomsmen. They just wanted to, even though they already have all the wedding expenses to take care of.

3 recent weddings I went to this past year, all the bridesmaids and groomsmen had to pay for dresses and tux out of pocket.

Sorry for your dilema.
Ya, it's really up to the people paying for it which way they would like to go. I agree with nhcigarfan though, I don't think this is something that's worth putting a rift in the relationship over.
