Bacherlor Party? Is it happening or am I out of the loop?
I'm an out-of-town groomsman for a wedding about a month away. I've yet to hear anything from the Best Man (and brother) of the groom about a bacherlor's party. My understanding/experience is that modern custom dictates that the Bacherlor's Party is held 1-3 weekends before the wedding.
I understand that it's near impossible for me to attend with my out-of-town work situation, but I find it is a bit odd not to even politely ask me (so I respectfully can turn down the offer) to help plan or pay for the event. Is there even a party happening?
What should I do?
While I can't attend, I'm more than willing to contribute a couple hundred dollars to the cause. Though, since I haven't been approached by the Best Man should I not press the case? There are only 3 groomsmen and I fear I may be neglecting my duties.
Any thoughts?

Dear A good friend,
Don't worry. This is an optional event and maybe there will be none. But, if you want to ask, there is nothing wrong with it and is polite.
