My Bachelorette Party was horrible what do I do or say?

Antanette, on September 19, 2016 at 12:13 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

I am hurt and disappointed. Last weekend my cousin and mom put together an amazing Bridal shower the day after 4 out of 10 of my bridesmaids decided to come to my house with shirts and hats. My hat was cute but I thought with a sailor hat I would be going on a cruise around New York city for brunch. Instead I went to a Mexican brunch and then walked around the city for 3 hours waiting for a pole dancing class after that they wanted to take me to club but 3 or of the 4 had to go to work the next day and were exhausted from the night before. Am I being selfish or ungrateful? I planned on going to Vegas but that fell short they could not get along my Matron of Honor disrespected my family, bridesmaid and my FH family so she dropped out a week ago I feel like whole experience leading up to my wedding has been a headache and showed me that the people that are my friends are really not my friends. I am venting sorry upset, hurt and disappointed.

    It just seemed very rushed and not planned or thought out we were walking around with nothing to do for 3 hours. I would not have planned something like that for any of my friends

    I'm sorry about the issues you've had the past few weeks, but your friends were good enough friends that they took the time, effort, and energy to throw you a party and spend the day with you. They deserve a thank you. Yes, even if it wasn't the party you wanted.

    I vote for ungrateful.

    You had friends take you out for a fun day. Appreciate that! They owe you NOTHING! They wanted to take you out for a fun day. You should have enjoyed it and thanked them for a fun day.

    If all if this is going in a way that you did not expect (on a few levels) perhaps you need to look at yourself. I am not trying to be mean, but perhaps you have placed unrealistic expectations on all of this.

    Planning those kind of parties is not easy. Finding a day and time that works for everyone is a part time job in itself. I'm sorry you didn't have the once in a lifetime event you were expecting, really, I am. But try to remember that no one owes you a Bachelorette party, so be grateful you got one at all. But it sounds like there may be other things that have happened in your relationship or with wedding planning that is causing frustration? Otherwise, saying these people who did plan something for you aren't really your friends (just because the party wasn't up to the high standard in your head), sounds selfish.

    Some people just aren't good at coordinating things. Just let it go, have fun at your wedding and enjoy your honeymoon. Sorry it wasn't what you wanted but try to just give yourself a breather and know you'll be married to the love of your life Smiley smile

    I am not speaking about the ones that actually tried to make I special are not my friends but the ones that have made it difficult I am looking at with a side eye. I understand they are not easy to plan I was going to plan it myself but they asked me to step to the side and they were going to handle it.

    I don't think you're being ungrateful. Your Bachelorette party is supposed to be fun for you and everyone else. I say go out with just 1 or 2 girlfriends again and just have a good time and forgot about what happened. You're getting married, celebrate it!

    Thank you Cierra that is what FH said I will be married soon to the love of my life and going on a honeymoon of my dreams thanks ladies I am not at all selfish I just know what I would do for my friends and family I put lots of effort in for the ones I love and care about and I did not feel like they put any effort into it. That is all I am saying but I need to stop having unrealistic exceptions of others because they are not me.

    Despite the drama you're dealing with, which I'm sorry to hear about, they put on a party for you. It may not have gone as you envisioned, but the people that care about you took time out of their lives to put this together for you. Does it sound perfect? No. I'll be honest, I'd initially be annoyed when told there would be a 3-4hr gap between things, but you want to know what I'd do after? Take a minute to relax from wedding stresses and enjoy the company of those nearest and dearest to me.

    Sometimes, things don't go how we expect them to. Take a bit to reflect on the positives from your day and don't focus too much on the negatives Smiley smile
