moh backing out due to change of bachelorette party

Sasha, on November 8, 2019 at 12:26 PM Posted in Planning 0 11
Hi Ladies! My maid of honor and I planned a trip to Costa Rica for two days. One day traveling and one full day there. The flight from where we live is only 3 hours so I went with it. After speaking to my fiancé about it, and some other friends and family members, they said that they didn’t feel comfortable with me going out of the country two weeks before we get married. Especially for just one day. So I decided to speak with my other bridesmaid about possibly changing the plans and staying in the US. She proceeded to tell me that the maid of honor had sent her a text that said that we are having the bachelorette party in Costa Rica here’s the flight information and I hope you guys can make it. She found that to be a little bit rude but went ahead and booked her flight. I Explained the situation to her and decided that I really would like to do something different and go to a resort on the beach instead for a few days. She agreed and said that she didn’t care about losing the flight money because she just wants me to be happy and do what I want to do. I told her that in order to not make anybody feel like they lost out on any funds, that I would be paying for the new trip. After that advice I went ahead and told my maid of honor I didn’t want her to be upset but I’ve changed my mind about going to Costa Rica and gave her the new plans on The new plan. With that, I explain to her that I would prefer to go a week later due to personal reasons. She texted me back and got extremely upset that I did not talk to her first and that I changed everything without discussing it with her first, and then I also changed the dates. I explain to her why I changed my mind, that she was not gonna lose any money, but I could still go on the original dates but it would be easier if we could switch it. She told me she wasn’t able to go on the new dates. And then proceeded to tell me that she wishes me the best of luck and she’s glad that I have my other girls and she will not be at the wedding. I’m not sure if she’s just really upset and just said that or if she really isn’t going to show up. And if that is the case, then I may have lost a really good friend. I think that would be worse than anything she thinks that I did to her. I simply changed my mind and tried to reschedule something with everyone. It’s almost as if she thinks that I pushed her to the side and made my own decisions. Which I am The bride and an adult so I am capable of doing that. No one else seems to see a problem with it. I find it that she might just be self-centered. I guess I just needed to vent. And no, I don’t mind having uneven sides. Just hurt. Does it sound like I did anything wrong?

    I get why she's upset but I think it's a bit of an overreaction.

    What's done is done now, in the future changing plans last minute is difficult for people who have already invested money and time. But ultimately it's your day and your decisions so your bridal party needs to be able to adjust.

    At this point, just move forward with your big day, so sorry you had to go through this!

    I get why she's upset too. You cancelled an event she planned without even talking to her first. That's just extremely rude. You definitely went about this in the completely wrong way.

    I mean, she’s still losing money. Just because you’re planning to pay for the new plan (which you’re doing because YOU changed the plan) doesn’t mean she’s not losing money. Also, you didn’t even talk to her about it. You just decided and it sounds like you didn’t even have the decency to loop her in until you had already talked to everyone else.

    Honestly it sounds like if you guys had just talked before any plans were made it would’ve been fine. I get why she’s mad. She’s going to loose money on the flight and hotel that were booked and she’s not even able to go to the new party. It seems like you left her out :/ I’d just see if there are any dates that would work for both of you or apologize for making new plans without her and see maybe if there’s a way for her to come to the new plans.

    I agree with most on this discussion as to why your MOH would be upset. However, it shouldn't cause her to overreact in this way. One thing is being mad and another is opting to not go to the wedding.

    This shouldn't make her so upset that she has to go to that extent.

    I mean it seems like you agreed to the trip as you planned it together to go to Costa Rica, once you told others they disapproved and you felt it necessary to change your mind but the first person you should have consulted was the person who planned everything with you and paid for it. I'd especially be hurt if after all this planning you tell me "So and so don't feel that I should go so I changed everything that we planned", like why didn't you feel this way when we planned it but only now after someone said something about it.

    Agree with everyone, she definitely has reason to be upset.

    You essentially had her working on something for all of you, and a gift from her to you in planning.
    You veto it and make other arrangements, when you knew she wouldn't be able to accommodate those dates even though she probably has given over a week of work towards planning already. Then give her her money back for the troubles.

    I'd be upset too. But I think over all you certainly would benefit from straight up talking to her and comminicating. There's a lot of pressure coming from every angle and high emotions. If you are close friends just check in with her and hear her out.

    Thank you all for your responses. I never made any other arrangements. While I did plan It with her, I wasn’t aware that my future husband and some of my family members didn’t feel comfortable with the idea of going to another country right now. I do have to respect that. So I gave her another thought of going somewhere else and I’d repay for the expenses. Costa Rica was A quick last minute decision. So after he found out, he wasn’t comfortable with me going to another country before we get married. The dates worked better for me but again, nothing was set in stone. That’s my point. I was simply telling her I can’t go to Costa Rica right now and here is plan b, what do you think? She got upset because she really wanted to go. Not because I changed my mind. Yes, I changed It because I am respecting my future husband. He’s not the type to tell me what to do and he didn’t tell me not to go, he just simply wasn’t comfortable with that type of trip at this given time. My MOH and I did finally y’all about It and we’re good now. We understand each other and this situation has been cleared. She’s sorry for saying those things to me and we’re back in business.
