My friend is getting married soon, I am a bridesmaid in her wedding. She way my MOH recently and traveled for my combined bach party/ shower. Almost everything was paid for except the airline tickets, two meals and two bottles of liquor (my family paid for the hotel room, entire shower and some meals).
I will need to fly to her bachelorette party, pay for airline tickets, show tickets, hotel, club entries, at least one fancy meal and split her cost with the other girls. There are no direct flights in, so they would have to pick me up from the airport, but already said they had prior engagements and could not bring me back for my return flight (airport is approximately two to three hours away and it is on a major holiday weekend).(I was not involved in the planning of anything) Also the MOH is planning her shower on a Friday in another month and her wedding is on a friday the following month.
The cost for any of these is alot more than I would like to spend and taking days off from work. I will be attending the wedding, but I feel horrible not attending either of the other events. I need some advice!
All of these parties are optional. There are no obligations on your part to cohost or attend if you are out of town. Just because she could attend for your wedding mean that you are obligated to attend hers. It may be best to discuss all of this with her. The financial burden is substantial.
