Bachelorette party

Carly, on July 16, 2020 at 2:39 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 9
I wanted to do a bachelorette party in an air bnb for 2 nights 2 weeks before my wedding in August. I invited 1 MOH, 2 bridesmaids, and 1 friend totaling 5 people (including me) My MOH wanted to split things equally between everyone and I’m fine with that, but one of my bridesmaids said she can only stay one night out of the two so she doesn’t want to pay the split amount of two nights, she only wants to pay for the one night. The problem is that makes it more expensive for the rest of us on night 2.. what should I do to be fair to everyone???

    Splitting by person by night is fair. It wouldn’t be right to ask the bridesmaid to pay for a night she won’t be attending even though it makes it more expensive for those who are. That’s just how these things go sometimes.

    Agree with PP, it would be unfair for her to pay an extra night when she won't be there. Either cover the cost yourself or split the difference between the rest of you.

    I actually kinda disagree with PPs because if you make an exception for her you’ll be expected to do the same for other.
    BUT if she doesn’t come, you’ll all be paying more between you.
    I would either allow it but not tell the others that they’ll be covering more costs since they won’t be happy about it, OR just tell her that the accommodation is fixed per person.

    She shouldn’t pay for a night that she isn’t there. To be fair to everyone, let everyone know the new costs and see if they’d be okay with it and don’t charge the one girl for the time she’s not there.

    She shouldn't be asked to pay for a night she isn't there.

    Split it per night, per person. She shouldn't have to pay for a night that she's not even there.

    Did she agree to two nights and then say she could only come for one, or did she say from the start she could only stay for one night? If she changed her plans, that's on her, but if not, it's reasonable for her to only pay for one night, but I don't think you should divide it exactly like that. For example: if there are 5 people paying and it's $500/night, 500÷5=100, but 500÷4=125. So if she would pay $100 for one night while everyone else pays $225 for two, which would be annoying. If instead of doing it that way you split it $1000÷9, she would pay $112 for one night and while else pays $222 for two nights. Or she pays $120 and everyone else pays $220 to make the numbers more round. I think that would go over better. Whatever you do, just be open about how it's being divided so you don't end up with drama later on.
