I am the MOH in my sister's wedding. In addition to me she has three bridesmaids. For her Bachelorette Party should would like to have a party bus or limo and go to dinner and drinking/clubs. It appears that I am the only one in the bridal party who is going to pay for the event, however two of the bridesmaids are going to attend the party. One girl is out of town and won't make it. My sister would like to invite about 12-15 girls (the bridal party plus a bunch of friends). Would you please provide me advice about who should pay what (limo/bus, dinner, drinks)? It would be outrageous for me to pay for everyone. (I know the bride should not pay for anything). Also should I ask for money up front or just have people pay at the party?

Re: [ShellyMOH] Only bridesmaid paying for Bachelorette Party
[In reply to]
Dear Only:
While nice to have, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, etc. are by no means mandatory events. You, nor any of the other bridesmaids have to pay for any of the parties. Moreover, you shouldn't even consider paying for something this big by yourself. I'd recommend having a pow wow with the other Bridesmaids. Inform them of what the Bride would like to do and how you propose on making it happen, as well as the cost associated with the party for ALL of you.
If everyone is in agreement, get the money upfront and then move forward with your planning. This is the only fair and equitable way to handle the type of bachelorette party the Bride wants to have. Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings
