Bachelorette help!

I would have your MOH talk to your bridesmaids about your original plan, see what their budget is for the bachelorette and if they are able to make it. This will give you a starting point with planning. If only a few can make it then I would extend the invitation out to your friends who aren't bridesmaids once you have nailed down the location and cost. It is not rude to invite non-bridesmaids but I would just make sure they know very clearly upfront the travel and cost associated with the party. I wouldn't worry to much about the bridesmaids who don't drink as long as you have a dinner before festivities where everyone is included then they can still come to wine tasting and hang out with the group.

Were you going to pay for everyone's flights, hotel, transportation, food, etc?

For my bachelorette the house we stayed at was free because it is my family's vacation home. Everyone chipped in for food and entertainment and they were responsible for getting themselves to the house.

For a bachelorette I'm attending we are all splitting the rental cabin, paying for our own flights and the bride is covering food.

As far as who to invite... all of your bridesmaids should be invited. If you want to invite other friends, that is completely fine and not rude at all. I have been on bachelorette parties where I was not a bridesmaid and at my bachelorette party, I had 2 people who were not bridal party members.

As far as what to do, I would let your bridesmaids plan that. You can tell your MOH some of your ideas, but I would ultimately let them plan it since they will be paying for it and planning it for you.

Hey there!

So exciting about your bachelorette party! You might have luck checking-out locations that are inexpensive to travel to or in driving distance as opposed to a middle meeting point. Frontier Airlines and Allegiant run very inexpensive flights to places like Florida, Nashville, New Orleans, etc, so you could find a location with lots to do that is inexpensive for everyone to travel to.

In terms of who to invite, I would definitely include your bridesmaids in the guest list. Don't worry too much about who would be offended and think more about who you want to spend a weekend with and how those people would mesh together. Sometimes a guest list can get really long if you're worried about politeness instead of who you really want to hang out with together.

Same thing applies to what you'd like to do for the party. I'd think less about what everyone would want to do and instead what you would love to do! Your girls will be so happy to celebrate you in whatever way you choose, and will have a great time.

Ideas of things to do could be: Going out to eat together, cooking a meal together, a game everyone can play like bridal jeopardy are fun and inexpensive, exploring a city together or even a fun tour like a ghost tour, beach day, wine and paint, cooking class, yoga class, renting a house with a pool and staying in could even be fun.
