Concerned about transportation for everyone for bachelorette party?

Hi there! So my MOH generously is hosting my bachelorette party on the 1st. She's from out of town and is flying in from IL to TX. I asked her if she needed any help with planning since she's from out of town and she said not at all, she wanted to keep everything a surprise! I was excited! So she just texted everyone a few days ago, and I'm starting to get some questions about it from my guests. Apparently she is having everyone meet at my house and then we are all uber-ing to the bars. Well there is 8 of us so that requires 2-3 ubers...My friend was inquiring how we were splitting costs of ubers, if it's being paid for, etc. Very reasonable questions. So I texted my MOH if she can assist with their questions and she didn't answer but is snap chatting me random pictures and stuff. I'm a little bothered by the idea of everyone being split up and potentially paying for their ubers. I told her it would be better if everyone met us at the bar rather than having to pay for an uber or I would pay for a limo/party bus. (FH's best man owns a very successful limo company and would cut us a deal). So I'm not sure why she's going this route..It seems very awkward and honestly it's not very affordable. Probably $25-$30 one way for one vehicle. I really don't want any costs forced upon my guests. I know I'm not supposed to partake in planning but is there anything I can do to smooth this over? Any suggestions?

    Usually the guests share the costs of things like that. You can fit 4 in a regular uber so you need two. So each would only have to pay $15 round trip. I dont think tahts outrageous.

    I just can't see why that's preferable to me providing a limo for everyone to stay together while we bar hop?

    All the bachelorettes I've been to we've just split Uber/taxi rides. No big deal and it's something I would expect to pay for. It's easy to Venmo money between people these days so it's a not a big deal. I also don't get the big deal of being split up for an Uber ride, surely that's a small portion of the night? Your MOH probably just thought Ubers were more affordable than a party bus, around here they run almost $1000/night so even with a "huge" discount 2 ubers would be way cheaper.

    Even if you got cut a deal, I don’t see how a party bus or limo would be cheaper than $15 per person for transportation. Limos and party buses in my area start at $500 for rental so even if you got that at half off it would still be double what the uber would cost.

    I think the Uber idea is fine and is probably the cheapest option. But more importantly, I think you should respond to your friend by directing her to ask those questions to your MOH. You should not be the go-between.

    UBER! All the way, I would not waste money on a limo or party bus.

    Maybe you could offer to pay for the Uber yourself then?

    I agree with the other ladies that the uber is a pretty common and affordable route. As far as her not responding to you, she seemed to make it clear she didnt want you to know what was going on. She probably carried on the conversation with the person concerned with the uber. Try to sit back and enjoy what's planned for you.

    Hi Haley! I definitely understand your concerns, but the Uber option will most likely work out more efficient and affordable! However, if you feel more comfortable providing the limo, esp since you can get a good rate, then you can also do that! Smiley smile

    First of all, your friends should be reaching out to your MOH, not you. Secondly, Uber split 4 ways will be fine. You as the bride should not be bothered with these logistics.
