5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Choosing Asoebi for Your Wedding
1. Are You Choosing the Right People?
Your wedding day is special, and you deserve to surround yourself with people who genuinely share your joy. Consider the energy of those you plan to include in your asoebi gang. You will need all their support, energy and excitement to help make the day memorable.
2. Can They Afford It?
Take a moment to think about the financial commitments your friends will make. From contributing to your bridal shower to covering transportation costs and then purchasing asoebi (whether lace or Ankara), it can add up. Generally, Ankara is a more budget-friendly option, but it’s essential to ask your friends if they can truly afford it. Offering them options might be considerate.
3. How Will Delivery and Logistics Be Managed?
Consider how your friends will get the fabrics. Will they handle the cost of delivery, or will you help them handle sewing instead by connecting them with a good seamstress once you have the fabrics? If you’re arranging for a tailor, all they will need to send is the service fee, their style preferences, and body measurements.
4. Are You Buying Gifts for Your Friends?
Think about whether you plan to give gifts to your friends as part of the asoebi tradition. If so, where will the funds come from—your pocket or theirs? Also, consider the type of gifts you’d like to give (I'll share gift ideas in another post).
5. Are Your Expectations Realistic?
Finally, evaluate whether your expectations for your asoebi group are reasonable. Consider their time, commitments, and whether they will be comfortable with the arrangements.
