I had two friends bail the morning of my bachelorette party - one used the sick excuse, and the other had a valid reason- her grandfather was ill and had been rushed to the hospital. The one friend paid up front and told my sister to keep the money since it was a last minute change of plans. The other (who played sick) has not paid up, and is ignoring my sisters requests for money. My sister even knocked the price in half, and only asked for some of the money back. I mean this girl bailed literally an hour before we were leaving!!! My sister tried to get reimbursed for her ticket to the club (which was over $200) but couldn't get her money back. My sister went all out for my bachelorette party, she got us a private cabana at a night club and made reservations for three hotel rooms that night, and got us all buffet passes for the weekend...I feel really bad for my sister because this friend of mine really screwed her over. The amount of money everyone owed increased, but my sister

If it was just me I would just cover the cost. There doesn't need to be any drama especially over something petty like this. Yeah it sucks she didn't go and your sister lost out on all that $$ but it would be best just to move forward.

That sucks. I agree that you should stay out of it. When you plan a party and put money up front like that, it's a risk that you run. That's why it's always best to collect money upfront before putting down your own cash. However, I would seriously reevaluate a friendship with someone that would screw my sister out of $200. That's a shitty thing to do.

As much as it is wrong for her to do that... i don't think you should get involved in it...

I agree with everyone. Stay out of it or cover her cost. I would pay your sister back, though. I got stressed out when one of my friends told me she wasn't going to be able to afford my bach weekend so I was very honest with her and told her that it would not hurt my feelings if she didn't go and that I understood that it was a big commitment. She told me it was okay and that she would still go but I let her make the financial decision herself and not let her guilt me.

I would stay out of it, but if in the end she didn't pay your sister and she can't handle the loss of money I would reimburse your sister.
