I’ve mentioned this upcoming party before, it’s for my friend who wants a 5-day (!!!) bachelorette party in June. A few things about this trip have rubbed me the wrong way: 1. The MOH has not been...

My friend who is the MOH of another friends wedding asked 5 girls if we were down to go to a destination bachelorette weekend and everyone has to travel. It’s costing us $700 for JUST the...
