My best friend just got engaged and is getting married in mid-January 2009. She has asked me to help her younger sister plan the bachelorette party which she wants to go out of town for a weekend. The MOH, her sister, is in college and has never been to the town we are planning on going to. I am worried about costs, especially since she hasn't picked out our dresses. Most of the girls are either in school, just out of school, or newly married, so I don't feel like any of us have a lot of money. I looked at hotel costs for the weekend and depending on who comes, it can range from $95-130 a person for the hotel. I know that isn't awful, but we will be going out to eat and drinking, and right now for me I know that will be a lot of money. I don't know if it is rude to see if the bride help pay for the hotel and we treat her for the rest of the weekend or what. My husband and I have not been able to afford to go on a trip since we have been married (1.5 years) so I also feel bad that I am spending our money for a fun weekend and that will mean we really won't be able to do anything. Lastly, since the wedding is so close, and her engagement is so short, the party weekend will be in either November or December probably, so that means close to the holidays. I don't meant to sound cheap and I don't feel like not going out of town is an option. It would just really help everyone I think if we could do something a little closer to our home. I just want to know what the right thing to do is. Thanks- H
