Can’t afford the whole bachelorette Weekend..

Patty, on November 6, 2019 at 8:25 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
So I am the maid of honor, and collaboratively the bride and bridesmaid planned a weekend in Vegas. But I’ve come to find out the girls want to do a spa day, go to a couple of shows and a fancy dinner. Is it wrong to skip out of some of the planned events but still be there for the weekend? I can afford my share of the hotel, but it’s really financially hard on me to be able to go through allll of the things they have planned.

    You can absolutely skip some events! You shouldn’t have to go into debt to attend all the bachelorette party events. You are a great MOH for going to the party and supporting your friend anyway. I’m sure she will understand Smiley smile

    I don’t think it’ll be a big issue if you skip some events. I’ll run this with the bride so she knows in advance and you can pick what you prefer or what’s affordable to you. You are already going to be there and that’s huge!

    I think that it’s fine if you don’t do anything. However I would bring it up with the others, as there may be one girl who thinks this is a great idea and has the budget for it and everyone else feels as you do. And really, it’s a bachelorette party. If you go to any bar/club and people know what you’re there for, you’ll have drinks bought for you all night. I really don’t think there needs to be a planned activity for every night you’re there. Maybe you could ask to just wing it one night and see where life takes you? That may be much more fun then spending money on tickets and whatnot.

    I see no issue skipping some parts of the bachelorette. They really should have consulted you about your budget first, so don't feel like you're a bad person!

    Not a problem at all. I would just give the bride a heads up on the events that you WILL be attending.

    All activities are optional! You can certainly sit out and chill by the pool with a drink. I would just let the bride know hey that while you want to come you can't afford every single activity and that you aren't saying they can't do those things but that you might hang back at the hotel pool for certain things.
