Bachelorette / Bachelor Party

What do you want to do for the parties, and how much are you expecting people to spend?

I've asked to book a hotel downtown SD and that we'd split the suite into 3rds. This way it's me, my MOH and my BM paying for our room and having each our own bed. We'll go to a nice dinner and a dueling piano bar, of which I will pay for my own dinner / admission / drinks (and everyone else will as well). My expectation would be that she'd reach out and tell me what the cost would be. I have heard NOTHING. No talk about it, almost like not interested at all..

Well, you only get a bach party if someone OFFERS to give you one. Hopefully they did that before you gave them your wish/demand list. That said, they have 3 months to plan a night in a hotel - that's not too big a deal. If they don't plan anything, then you don't get one.

Some people are not interested and it's fine - these things are absolutely not required.

Did you ask her & the other bridesmaid what their budgets are?

I planned my own Bach party and it was fun!

It's definitely cutting it close for planning a bachelorette party now but if it's 1 night in a hotel that's not a difficult thing to plan. Maybe they are still working on it. Maybe they are planning to surprise you????

I’m helping plan my bachelorette with my BMs! They asked where I wanted to go and it’s New Orleabs no question!! My sister/MOH is a darling but very introverted and not a party person like me, so I don’t want to burden her with Bach planning and she totally appreciates that!

Im kinda detail obsessed so I’m glad they are letting me help plan!!

That's a tricky situation... are you only planning on it being the 3 of you? Or did you want to invite other friends? If you want to invite other people, maybe start a group chat and tell everyone what you're thinking to get some feedback. Bachelorette parties aren't required, but kind of assumed they'll happen. And if you're willing to pay for everything on your own, without any expectation that anyone pay your way, there's no reason they shouldn't or wouldn't' want to participate. If you just wanted it to be the 3 of you, maybe start a chat with them and tell them again what you're thinking. That's nothing too crazy or expensive. Maybe do the research and figure out what it might cost for the whole thing then send a message and tell them what each person would pay and say you were going to book the room unless someone else wanted to do it? Unfortunately, it sounds like if you want the party you're going to have to take the initiative to plan it completely.
