My best friend/family friend asked me to be her MOH. The other day we had a meeting with the all of the bridesmaids and one of them had told me that the bride wanted to do a weekend get away for her bachelorette party. I love the idea but money is really tight right now. The cost just to stay over is about $230. My husband is also in the wedding and the Groom also wants to do a weekend getaway along with some other activities. Should I say anything or just bite my tongue? The total amount of $money we would have spent on this wedding will be around $1,500. I got married in 2006 so I don't think I am out of the loop. It just seems like some of the activities are just a little out of hand. What ever happened to a night out w/the girls dinner, drinks, dancing. I cant really say anything to her but at the same time iam struggling to come up with money.

I agree, and so do a lot of others who are posting on the forum, that these parties are getting way out of control. Each wedding has to be bigger and better - something new.
The bachelorette party idea really shouldn't be dictated by the bride. The bridesmaids should get together and agree, as a group, what sort of party they all want to host. Maybe some of the other ladies are feeling the same.peak to them about this. Let then know that you simply cannot afford to spend that sort of money, but don't want to miss out on the pre-wedding fun. If they all insist this is the party, then you'll have to miss it or come up with the cash.

I agree. All prewedding parties are optional and not mandatory for the bridal party to host. If you decide that you will help host one, all have to agree to the plans and the cost.
