Question....Should Groom pay his way for bachelor weekend???

Im not sure i fully understand this post. Is he asking for the money after the bachelor weekend? If that is correct does it mean that prices were not discussed before the trip was made?

I personally think the FH shouldn't pay for anything unless he was the one who arranged it.

Wait, is he the groom? I don't think the groom should pay for the bachelor weekend, but it depends on what was agreed upon beforehand. If he knew about it and went along anyway, that's kind of his own fault. Nothing can be done about it now.

No one of the groomsman came back to him and asked for more money when the groom already paid for his flight and spent 300 on the trip. THe groomsman that planned it obvisously didnt have the conversation with the rest of the group about money and now we are stuck paying for a 1200 trip we didnt plan on.

Its partially my FH fault for not clarifying because he assumed his costs other than the flight would be covered since his groomsman came up with with the idea for this trip. I just dont think its right that he has ended up paying for all his expenses the entire time.

I read this and think typical man--act now think later--(yes i know its a horrible stereotype)

We are doing a destination bachelorette for my friend and she is putting in on the hotel and paying her own airfare. Our "main" events we'll pay for her, but other stuff she's going to be paying for. More like a girls' weekend but with her bachelorette thrown in. It was her idea so she is fine with it.

I think you need to remember the GM are paying for tuxes, wedding gift, etc and it can add up quickly. They should've talked money before they left though so everyone was clear

If these expensive ideas weren't his own, he shouldn't have to pay anything, especially not $1200

I just dont think the groomsman should have planned such an expensive "bachelor weekend" if they werent willing to pay anything towards the groom's expenses. My FH didnt want to ask if he had to pay for everything, since typically the groomsman pick up some of the bill....guess he should have!

Meh, if I go on any vacation I expect to pay my own way unless someone specifically tells me not to. It's not like I'm leaving my purse at home when I go out to dinner for my b-party.

Although it sounds like they gave him the idea it would be covered and didn't communicate very well. That sucks.

Issues like how much it will cost, and how that is going to be split among everyone should have been determined be before the trip. Being given a $600 bill after the trip, that you weren't expecting, is pretty rude. But if it was discussed during the trip, and while GM X was putting everything on his card, the other guys knew it was going to be divided up later.. then they should have ordered some generic drinks instead of top shelf to keep the prices down.

My FH is going out of town for his bachelor party, I know his friends are trying to absorb as many expenses as possible, but it won't be 100%. I think he'll pay his travel expenses, and possibly lodging and some food. But most of the drinks and fun money will be paid by his buddies.

Really, whoever is throwing the bachelor (or bachelorette) parties should be taking into consideration how much the groom and other friends can afford. Don't go to Vegas if your group can only afford a night of beer and bowling.
