Is it okay to chip in for Bachelorette party?

Kati, on September 25, 2014 at 9:25 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 11

Hello Ladies!

I know my bridesmaids and MOH are tight on money (two are in school for their masters and one is a school teacher), and I was just curious, is it ok if I chip in? I asked and they seemed offended, but I really want to help and have an amazing time!

Thanks!

    I personally don't think there's anything wrong with it. But since you've offered and they said no then I would just leave it & let them handle it. They might get offended if you keep mentioning it

    Let them host what they can afford and be thankful. It's tacky to throw yourself a party.

    If there are flights involved, I think you should pay for your own flight at the very least. Mine was just a night out in town. I paid for 2 drinks - a shot for myself and the other bachelorette I ran into. Bu my girls split all the other costs so it was not expensive for them.

    But agree with Married. Let them plan something and then enjoy it.

    I paid for everyone's dinner. They pretended they were pissed, but I didn't care.

    Maybe get them all a gift instead? Or pay for a round of drinks?

    Not sure where you're going or what you're doing but like Stephanie said... maybe pay for your flight. Or if you do any fun activities you could surprise the girls with it and have it already paid for. Something like everyone getting pedicures or some girls like to take those strip tease workout classes. Both things could be 20-30 a person and I am sure they would appreciate the gesture and not feel like you're saying they're poor! Smiley smile

    I actually think I'm most likely going to have to chip in my part for every "big" thing we are doing, there's only 3: Gas, room, and dinner. At this point we don't even know who is going to be able to come to my bachelorette party out of my 8 girls, other than my MOHs, and even one of them is kind of pending. So if only a few of us can make it, I'll probably help pay gas money to whoever drives, part of the room, and for my own dinner. Other than that, we're just going to a karaoke place that night and that's it. Back home the next day.

    I paid my way. They offered, but I didn't allow them to pay. We're all tight on money, so I didn't want to be a burden. I know what it's like to live off Ramen noodles for a while after funding friend's bachelorette parties.

    We are planning to go on a cruise and I will be paying my own ticket. My bridesmaids are tight with money as well.

    My MOH is throwing a sex toy party for my bachelorette party. I already offered to make the jello shots & pudding shots. My girls don't mind & were pretty excited when I said I would make them.
