Hi everyone! I am getting married next year and so is a friend of mine. My question is two fold, about hers and my bachelorette. She invited me to hers, which is really exciting for me because I’ve never been to one! I would also plan on inviting her to mine. I just learned that the per person cost for her bach party (flying south to another state) is $650. That is a LOT for me, when everything goes back to normal I am only working part time and hoping I will get promoted to a full time role. Like many other people, I am making nothing right now. These are friends that are more well-off than me, and I understand how this isn’t that much to them. I already told her I would go for sure, before I heard anything about cost. I can try to save money and put it aside, but I’m also in the midst of trying to save for my own wedding and pay off student loans. Is this too much, or is it what people typically pay for a bachelorette?
In addition, I am planning my own bachelorette party as I won’t be having bridesmaids. I would like to go to Cape May N.J. for a nice extended weekend (hoping for Thurs.-Sun. next April). I would be inviting three close friends, including the girl from above. However, I don’t want to make them pay too much. I crunched numbers and it comes out to $275pp. That includes hotel, breakfast each day, a fun private harbor cruise on one of the days, a lighthouse tour, a beach yoga class, and wine tasting at two really nice wineries. The only thing not factored in is transportation. Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks for any advice here!
