My bachelorette party wasn’t even a party. My best friend (and MOH) was supposed to be planning it.

My bachelorette party wasn’t even a party. My best friend (and MOH) was supposed to be planning it. She was telling me leading up to it how fun it was going to be, and I even gave her ideas on things that I enjoy and others would enjoy. On the day of the party, I woke up and she was already at my house. Her and another girl had already started “decorating” and I had to sit on my stairs until they were done. One of my bridesmaids didn’t show up at first, so we all decided to get lunch. They asked me where I wanted to go and I picked Buffalo Wild Wings.


Once we got there, we ordered and got our drinks. We ate and the bridesmaid we were waiting on finally arrived without anything she was supposed to bring. When the server asked how our checked were divided, nobody bothered to pay for me (which I feel should’ve been done because I would do it for any of my girls). We paid, and left.
Once we got back to my house, I sat on my stairs for another three hours waiting for the late bridesmaid to show up with the rest of the “decorations.” When I finally got to come downstairs, I was met with male genitalia toothpicks taped to my wall, and straws of the same shape. There was some snacks, but not much.
I waited around to see what was planned, but nothing came. We played one game and listened to music at the table. Eventually we decided it was time for dinner and everyone voted on Pizza Hut because I got a discount for working there.
All of this while my husband’s party took him to lunch on a boat, shooting, and to a five star steakhouse for dinner where they paid for his food.
I feel hurt and mad. I wanted to blow up, but I cried in my room instead. Should I get over it? How should I react to this. I don’t feel like anyone cared about how it went.

    Lighten up, I was joking. And the point is that everyone needs to learn these things. And your friends are not awful people, merely young folks who have lived with parents, and not yet learned on their own.

    I truly understand how disappointing it would be to hear something hyped up and then to fall short. That definitely plays into high expectations. Unfortunately, the party didn't meet those expectations and you are absolutely in your right to be bummed about it. My hope would be that you can focus on the positive that they did show up to spend the day with you and not let it affect your friendships, because that would truly be something sad to lose.

    Focus on the good things. Sometimes we have a tendency to focus on the bad things & not the good.

    I ordered a mimosa. Split, it was a dollar each and they were refusing to split the bill evenly cause only I had drinks. Does this help? Lol this wasn't my whole crew btw just some. I'd say consider the source. You know them don't you? You know who your friends are. You can't ask blood from a stone. If someone is already disorganized in general life, they can't be for your bachelorette. It's not personal or a reflection of you
