I hope this won't be a long post! I'll set up the scenero. I am a MOH for a June 25th wedding. Just a few weeks ago, my Bride asked me and my husband(via email) if we could loan her and her husband-to-be $6,000. I was floored, and told her flat out, "NO." I told her it would ruin our friendship. She didn't state what it was for in the email, but later on, after no reply until I called her first, she said, "They didn't save enough." I thought that was rather immature and flippant of her. So, she claims that "They'll make it work." Plus, she's expecting the bachelorette party to be in Windsor, ON. (we're in Ohio) At first I didn't have any reservations about it, but now with this money issue coming to light, and my own parents going through some major money woes, I don't know if I feel comfortable taking her and the party across the boarder -- especially when some of the Bridesmaids have expressed to me that it might not be in their budget to get their hair done the morning of the wedding. Plus, I know it might be a bit much for some to bring along their passports and/or birth certificates for a night's jaunt.
Would it be rude to suggest that the party stay "in town"? I still want her and the other guests to have fun before the Bride's big day. Also, is it the Bride's decision or up to the Bridesmaids/MOH's to figure out the bachelorette party?

Re: [Endria] bachelorette party questions, who pays?
[In reply to]
Typically, the bridal party "treats" the bride to one last night out as a single lady. So, since the bridal party is paying for the bachelorette party, you and the rest of the bridal party, as the hosts, can decide where to hold the event. Explain to your sister your financial concerns and have a really awesome backup plan; a place or an event she's sure to find even more appealing than your original idea!
