Super June 2017

My Bachelorette party was very stressful

The girls wanted to plan a bachelorette for me and was planned pretty last minute. The MOH wasn't able to plan it so last week one of the bridesmaids decided to make plans and got everyone together.

The girls wanted to plan a bachelorette for me and was planned pretty last minute. The MOH wasn't able to plan it so last week one of the bridesmaids decided to make plans and got everyone together. It was really sweet until she had planned a pretty expensive day including private painting ($60) mani pedis ($40+) and dinner and a night out downtown. Eventually I had to have her cancel the booking for painting because no one not even me, was prepared for it, she canceled it but wasn't refunded and got credit for next painting session instead. I drove far with the girls and we did nails and it was great for me but some girls didn't like the outcome and overpaid. I ended up paying for mine and covering more than half for my 16 yr old sister. I paid $68 for just myself a mani pedi with gels on my hands. Then I ended up driving everyone the rest of the day since I had a van...I hated asking for gas money but they offered to pay gas a day before so I asked anyway and gave me gas money....

    The salon just did what I showed them in the picture. I figured id spend $50 at the salon if I ended up paying for it. They had a price list and said a mani pedi was $35 so I was confused and went along with it. I wanted gel over my natural length but they clipped them and put length on them. I didn't know what they were doing. I figured okay whatever i like how it looks so i paid for it anyway. In addition to that my sister lost her money, so i did not anticipate that at all!

    Was I supposed to say "no I can't pick u up or take you home"? And if you read my last comments I never expected them to pay for their jewelry, i bought a necklaces and bracelets for them a while ago and I sent them photos of it with my sister wearing it with the earrings she bought to go with it. I didn't buy earrings because i dont care what earrings they wear. So some of the girls saw and asked where my sis bought her earrings and asked if I can grab theirs too and they would pay me back.

    But the girl who booked the painting paid at least $240 and couldn't get her money back? Yikes. That really sucks.

    The fact that your sister lost her money is also a concern.

    I know it sucks i felt horrible and I'm not sure how much she spent if she was expecting 4 girls to participate. She said it was $55 at first then said $35. So I have no idea. But I offered to pay her back because that was just not fair at all. And it's not like I'm broke, I'm not but I am all about budgeting and I planned for FH to get some new clothes for the honeymoon and me spending money on myself like that does not help. So I told her me and FH will pay her back after some talk with him and she said no that she was able to get credit for another class so she wants to do a couples thing with us and others another day.

    Yeah, it sounds like a shitty day. But it's gone and nothing's going to get you that time back, so forget about it and move on. Your friends had good intentions, so try to focus on that. And honestly, a lot of bachelorettes are really like this. Just a group of women wandering around trying to fill up time because there's no real point to this party and no one can really afford it.

    Also not too concerned about my sis, she literally just turned 16 last week. She was trying hard to save up so I wasn't too surprised and it doesn't bother me as much.

    Wait, what? It doesn't surprise you that your sister lost money? I mean, I'm assuming your parents gave her a lot to cover herself and a portion for you. And she lost it, but it's not a concern? I don't know, to me, that's not a 16-year-old move and I'd be a little more concerned about that.

    She just found her money and just paid me back. She's usually good about it, so I'm glad. I remember her having it a couple days before. She felt bad

    Yes, I agree you need to speak up. I still don't understand driving them home, how did they get there in the first place? Taxi? Uber?

    A trip to the nail salon and eating fast food? That sounds like a teenager's random weekend day in the suburbs. Echoing @Laura and other PPs: How old are you all?

    All of this screams super young to me.

    I'm confused why you didn't speak up during all of this and at the nail salon? Fakes and gel aren't cheap.

    I'm sorry you had a bad experience. It sounds like she *tried*, at least.
