Bachelorette trip - expenses

Is this additional person invited to the wedding? The bachelorette party (as well as any pre wedding party) is not something that is open invitation for other people that the bride is not super close to. People should not be invited to any pre wedding party if they are not invited to the wedding day. Personally I’m of the opinion that it’s not appropriate to ask this friend to accompany you. Have a trip together at a separate unrelated date


Btw for a destination bachelorette trip at $250/pp, you are getting a steal because that doesn’t begin to cover airfare alone for some.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! Yes she is attending the wedding. Appreciate your reply! 😊

It sounds as though this is a friend of yours, not a friend of the bride? If that’s the case, then I would offer to cover her portion of the trip; as she is not really invited to the bachelorette party, she is moreso being invited to keep you company.

I'm confused why the mother of the bride yet alone one of your friends is planning on attending a bachelorette party. This is something fun for the bride. Not a vacation for you and your friend.

I don't think it's wrong to ask your friend to pay, but then the decision is theirs on attending or not. "If you want to join me and Daughter in Fredericksburg, we'd love to have you. The shared costs amount to $250."
