Picky bachelorette (party) please help

My best friend is getting married in November and we are trying to decided on a party for her. She is very picky and her mother isn't helping the situation. She isn't a big drinker so going to a bar is out of the question for her. She wanted to do an Airbnb but most places are either booked up or to expensive since some of the girls can only stay one night. Most girls aren't even willing to spend over $150.

So far I have recommendedA spa day (said why would she do that that's for the wedding 🙄)A night with brunch and dinner in the city (doesn't want to be in the city)Paint night (no interest)Pool party/slumber party- with space essentials for night time fun. (Mom said that was pathetic)Live music (no interest)Dance classes (no interest)Comedy Club (no interest)
Please anything at this point would help!

She seems undeserving of a party based on her ungrateful attitude towards what you've already suggested.

Honestly, it sounds like you've given a ton of great suggestions and she's shot them all down. At this point, I would probably just tell her that she either needs to come up with something reasonable or she isn't getting a bachelorette party. They aren't necessary, and they are thrown by others as a fun way to celebrate their friend. If the friend is being a brat well.... 🤷‍♀️. I'm curious what she intended to do in the AirBnB since she shot down the pool/slumber party idea? That's what I envision when I think of renting out an AitBnB for a bachelorette party.

Geez you've offered just about everything I could think of. I'd be super annoyed and not want to plan anything for her. At this point you should just ask her what she wants to do and provide the budget since all of your suggestions aren't interesting enough for her. If you went with her suggestion of an airbnb, what did she think you would do there...?

Totally agree with everyone-you’ve given her so many great options but she shot them all down. Put the ball back in her court- give her the budget & tell her to either come up with something or go with one of your ideas.

To start off with I do think she sounds picky; it also sounds like she wanted a bach weekend and is struggling with coming to terms with people not being up for that.

Since it'll be September/October, I would suggest getting an Airbnb for one night if that's something people can afford and going apple picking, leaf peeping, and depending on the month/your location hitting up a county fair. We did the first two, plus a wine tasting and a lake day, at my bach weekend and it was a blast.

She doesn't drink wine so she said no wine tasting.
Doesn't like apple or any fruit or veggies.
Offered pumpkin patch that was a no And we are working on a fair but people can't make it to the one she wants to go to. She is insisting her bachelorette party must be two days long so a one day airbnb is out of the question she said.

It's just a pool. But most girls can make it for two days. Some dont want to pay, others cant make two days, some can't get off work. And she won't do one day.

It would probably be easier to ask her what she DOES want. She keeps shooting down suggestions but doesn’t seem to be offering any ideas. How can she expect people to know?

"She won't do one day". Sorry, but she needs to get over herself. All of your ideas sound amazing, so don't be hard on yourself at all. Not everyone has extra money (especially during a pandemic) for a fun weekend away. Some of the bridesmaids will end up bailing and she'll end up with no party at all if she doesn't try to compromise. I truly wish you luck haha

I agree. I asked her and she just is persistent on an Airbnb or a possible casino. I personally have no problem with that, but most people made it clear about money so why would you take them to a casino? I'm not even questioning that I just said I was on board for what she wants.

.... and you said this is your friend? And she said this was for her bachelorette party because she’s getting married? It’s really amazing to me how often brides forget what getting married is really about. Its actually pretty sad. Especially when they start treating their friends like utter garbage. At this point I would take her through a Taco Bell drive-through and tell her that she can get anything she wants on the menu free of charge. Haha, nevertheless you seem like a really good friend and she should be thankful that she has you. Good luck

What is stopping her from going to a casino on her own LOL
I know it’s such a fun idea to go ok an awesome trip with friends, but if people don’t want to spend money on it, that’s reality. And I think a lot people really don't want to spend much money on bach trips.
She has probably built up this image of what it “should” be and reality is just getting in the way.
