I am the maid of honor in my friends wedding. The bridesmaids and myself are planning a bachelorette party when the bride informes me that she also wants to go out to dinner another night also with all the girls and her mother and soon to be mother-in-law. She then says we should pay for both mothers. She said it was proper etiquette. I thought we were only responsible for her. What is the right thing to do?

Dear MOH,
It sounds like your friend needs to read an etiquette book or visit us here. You and the other bridesmaids are the hosts. All of you set the guest list and the budget. The bride is consulted, but may not invite.
If she wants to have dinner with the mothers, perhaps she can take them out to dinner another time.
All guests at the bachelorette party pay for themselves and each chip in for the bride. This is one of the only parties I can think of besides the bachelor party where the guests pay.
