Bacherlotte Party

Gabby, on May 28, 2019 at 8:11 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4
So I am getting married next June. My MOH just messaged me saying she is starting to plan the bachelorette party. We had previously discussed it and she asked where I want to go and who pays for it and stuff. She just messaged me saying I have to pay for all of my stuff: hotel, travel, food, and drinks. I thought the people invited helped to chip in and cover at least brides drinks or something. She hasn't even talked to the other people and she doesn't know who all is going. This will only be a 1 or 2 day thing relatively close. Is this normal what she said to me and out of the blue like this? We haven't talked wedding stuff in a while.

    People might offer to pay for your drinks, but how would she know that until you arrive? If you want a destination bachelorette, you should expect to pay for yourself. If you can’t afford it, tell her you’d prefer something smaller and local.

    It seems odd she is quoting prices before she knows who is going, how can she know the split of things if she doesn't know how many people are going? I think it depends on the group, if they can cover the bride. My bridesmaids covered the house & some other stuff for me, but I paid for the entire dinner the first night, bought all the groceries, and made favors for everyone. I also bought my own flight & rental car, and drove 4 girls up to Palm Springs.

    I agree with FutureMrsD about how would she even know the splits if she doesn't have confirmed who is going? Normally and from my experience the bride doesn't pay for room and travel. I have never had the bride pay for her drinks or food either. Maybe SOME food like lunch or if you pick up groceries. Idk this seems odd to me. Where are you going? I am planning my own and we are going to Vegas. I am paying my own flight and hotel portion because I picked it. I am also paying a portion for all the girls too. So while it would be nice for them to buy me drinks and food I am not expecting it. I think they know, since most have been bridesmaids before that it's a nice gesture.

    I thought it seemed a little odd too. I'm not upset or anything, it just didn't seem like the norm. We will most likely be traveling a max of like 2 or 3 hours to Nashville or Louisville.
