I am the maid of honor in my older sister's wedding, which is 13 months away. My sister is quickly becoming a bridezilla, the most recent example is that she's started to plan her own bachelorette party. Isn't this supposed to be my job?
The ideas that she's thrown out so far sound really expensive, more like mini vacations (Vegas, wine country in California....we live on the east coast). I can barely afford the dress and traveling to the wedding itself, and I guess I'm on the hook for the shower too. I want her to have a special wedding experience, but am I really expected to get into debt over this? How do I tell her I can't afford a trip to Vegas?

Dear StrugglingMOH,
Both the shower and bachelorette party are optional. You are not obligated to host these. If you choose to, you choose what it is to be while considering what the bride wants. If she wants to do this, she may. But, it won't be a bachelorette party. She can go on holiday just like any one else. No one should be expected to pay for something she hosts or plans.
She can read any of our posts or any etiquette book. We all say the same thing.
Bride planning her own bachelorette party?
