Bachelorette planning stalled

Seasonm, on July 13, 2020 at 4:48 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 13
Hi all,



I know I'm not supposed to plan my own bachelorette, but my MOH seems to need a nudge. She was very excited to plan everything but now she's stalled. The only thing agreed upon is the date. It's out of state so we need to book an airbnb. It's in September and I'm scared they will be too expensive for the other girls at this point. How should I approach this?

    I would mention it to her and tell her that you need more details so everyone else can get their finances together. I would also ask how much she has planned already.

    Maybe ask hr is she still able to plan a bachelorette out of town? If so, maybe you both can speak on the phone to coordinate one? I am sorry that to me of you not throwing your own bachelorette is a piece of etiquette that can go out the window. I say plan your own provided that it is something casual that won't cost people a lot of money. Like maybe a dinner out or something? Ideally it is nice for the MOH to plan (has she included the bridesmaids in the planning because it does not have to be just her) but maybe if she is dropping the ball come August maybe just do a night out on the town?

    Maybe she is uncomfortable traveling right now but doesn't want to say anything, or doesn't know the right way to express her concerns? Are you going to what might be considered a higher risk area?

    Yes, maybe she is waiting it out to see how out-of-state travel will look in September before people put out (possibly) non refundable money. Not trying to be a downer, but depending on where you’re planning to go, it might be risky/many things might not be open. You should have a conversation with her about it.

    Talk with the other girls and ask what they can safely afford. You should ask for them to pay more than they are willing to. Keep in mind money may be tight with Covid lost jobs

    Thank you, I was uncomfortable taking the reigns I don't want to be rude or imposing. I was bridesmaid of someone who planned her own thing and we aren't friends anymore. She was sooo imposing, I'm trying to be cautious. I am definitely inclined to just having a night out or maybe going to a winery, but I don't want to offend her by replacing her plans (that only I know about)

    I agree and of course don't be a dictator lol. Talk to her first and ask her are the plans still in plan and when will she announce to the other ladies but maybe have a heart to heart to her. If she isn't able to then maybe ask her what she thinks of something local. I mentioned a place a friend suggested for dinner to my maid of honor and she was thinking another place so I am going to let her plan for that since she has a thought about it. Smiley smile

    Aww I am sorry, that sounds a little inconsiderate of other peoples time/finances. Maybe have a sit down with her and try again and voice that you are worried it will be more expensive to book later

    Hi, she has a whole itinerary but only shares it with me and has not booked the airbnb. We checked, and they are pretty affordable right now. I've never seen these prices before
