I am the MOH for my friends wedding, and she wanted to have a destination bachelorette party in Vegas. She let her bridal party know, but when researching the details its fairly expensive to accommodate all of without the bride pitching in for her hotel. Obvi we would take care of drinks and dinner a few nights, but is it rude to have her help with the hotels (since she suggested it, I offered something more local for everyone but I was shot down)

Yes, absolutely. She should pay her own way since she suggested something so expensive. Usually everyone's budget should have been consulted first and then the bachelorette party is planned around everyone's budget.

Yes. If it's a destination bachelorette, I think it is only fair for the bride to pair her way in regards to transportation and lodging.

She should absolutely contribute toward her own vacation.

Yes. I think that's fine since she chose it and it's so expensive overall.

I’ve seen it both ways. I offered to help pay for mine, but my friend that’s hosting wouldn’t let me. I’ve also been to others that were farther away and the bride paid her own way.

basically, I think she shouldn’t assume that people are paying for her accommodations. If you’re able to, that should be an extra kind bonus not a given.

I moved across the country from my bridal party and we ended up meeting up halfway for my Bach. I paid for my own flight and share of the air Bnb.

I’m planning to do a destination bachelorette too! And I’m 100% going to pay for my entire flight + my portion of the air b & b. I feel like it’d be rude for me to expect my MOH/ bridal party to pay, because it obviously isn’t cheap!

We are going to NOLA for mine and I am paying my own way for everything except one dinner in which my girls said they wanted to pay for. I would NEVER expect my girls to pay my way for anything, so the bride should be included in splitting costs especially since she wants it in Vegas.

She should for sure pay her own way. I had my bach in Palm Springs, CA (I'm in CO). I had to travel farther than all my bridesmaids that went but I still paid my own flight, rental car & gas (I drove a few of the girls), groceries, everyone's dinner the first night, and several rounds of drinks.
