Does anyone else dread and dislike this trend? They are not convenient for everyone due to scheduling and travel, they are difficult to coordinate, they are expensive, and they only work if everyone is of the same personality (extrovert vs introvert) in the same friend group. That is something I would feel terrible asking my attendants to organize.

Plus if they are as amazing as people say, I’m curious why they only mention the horror stories associated with them. Is a local night on the town without a sleepover where everyone has to travel not done anymore?

Like others have mentioned, I think this depends entirely on the group that's going. I have no problem with this trend, and actually love seeing all of my friends and acquaintances on social media post updates when they go!
My MOH and bridal party came to me and asked what I preferred as far as location and traveling. I'm pretty easy going, so I'm honestly fine with whatever destination they pick, whether that be the city, beach, mountains, etc. They're planning it and keeping it all a surprise, but I do know it's a TH-SUN trip. I think that as long as the members of the group are open and honest about budget and communicate well, then destination trips aren't an issue. Our group is very big on everyone throwing ideas out, and then voting on them. So that's pretty much what my ladies have been doing. If more than one person has an issue, then the topic is reevaluated and they try to come up with a compromise. There's only 5 of us going, so I think that also makes it easier to communicate whereas I could see where a trip with 10+ could get chaotic in the group message.
I mean, as a trend, I think it's fun and a great way for your friends to spend time together and celebrate! But it's so important for each person to remember to communicate, and for the host and/or guest of honor to not be too demanding. Plan an awesome trip, but also be respectful of everyone's boundaries and budgets!
