Bachelorette party disappointment

View Quoted Comment That's the thing, 2 (of the 3) can only be there for Friday night.... and like LATE Friday night and leaving early Saturday morning... so really only 1 person (besides the host) can be there the whole weekend.

Are you overreacting? It depends. Are you sure "they" chose this weekend, and it wasn't the MOH who chose it and just told everyone else when it would be? A weekend, especially a holiday weekend, is a lot to ask for a bachelorette party (imo). They have families of their own to consider. I'd cut them some slack.

I'm sorry! I think you will still have an amazing time. I have 9 bridesmaids, only 6 are going to my bachelorette party. It will still be so much fun, I promise!

Honestly just be glad to having a party 😁 I would enjoy yourself

Awww so sorry. Your feelings are definitely justified.
I would consider it their loss and go and have a wonderful time!
I'm sure they adore you but, may have misspoke and didn't realize Easter was late this year.

Try not to let it affect your joy.
Sometimes, life just gets hetic, even though you had good intentions.
Brush it off and carry on....you are getting Married and that's a huge reason to celebrate! With or without all of them

View Quoted Comment Yeah. We took a poll and that was the weekend every person said they could make.

Well then I definitely don't think you're overreacting. I'd be disappointed too after everyone agreed and then backed out. But, make the best of it! A few people can have a great time too. It's more intimate, and no one gets lost in the mix!

Agreed you're not overreacting, anyone would be upset in your shoes. More people can't the next weekend? Either way it's dumb they bailed. A smaller party will be just as much fun though honestly so just focus on the ones that are there!!

You are not overreacting at all! Your feelings of hurt and disappointment are very real and totally understandable!

A very similar situation happened to me in my bachelorette weekend- we were supposed to take an out of town weekend road trip to this adorable small town. Plans were made months in advance, and everyone cancelled literally the week before. It ended up just being me, my MOH, and a bridesmaid who went on our trip. I was incredibly upset- but reservations were already made and we decided to push through and make the most of it. We had a fantastic time and tbh it was a lot more intimate and chill! I feel like although with more people it's a lot of fun, it can get quite rowdy and I wanted to actually relax from the stress of wedding planning.

If you decide to still push through on your trip, try to make the most of it and be in the moment with the ones there! It can be difficult not being bitter about those who bailed- it's incredibly rude for them to do that especially on such a special weekend getaway planned for you! But they are the ones missing out. You should enjoy yourself and take a break from the wedding planning- you deserve the self-care!

View Quoted Comment Traditionally bachelor parties have been for one evening, and it is only recently that people have had bachelorette parties, which like bachelor parties have only been for one evening. The recent trend, started with TV shows and push from wedding and travel industries to ha e weekend parties, have them away from home, with huge costs compared to the traditional, buy a few drinks and split bride ir groom's drinks, are not popular with everyone. Lots of people are themselves as having a few hours for a shower, a fee for a bachelorette, and most of 8 hours for a wedding. . . I am sorry so many committed themselves and are not going. But planners probably should have found out how many people could afford and had interest in a full three days, rather than 1 evening. And all the travel and meal cost. Having it at the end if Lent, the couple of days many Christian denominations including Catholics, Lutherans and Methodists, cut all luxury or extra things, the solemn vigil after death of JC and before resurrection, not good timing. This year also Passover, the Seder dinner to start. The host and planner did not plan at all well. All 4 of you enjoy one evening out, make the best of things and have a good time.

I'm sorry this happened! I would be upset too, especially since they picked the date.
