No Bachelorette Party

Ohhhh man. Where to start?

Stock the bar party? As in your guests are buying the alcohol for your wedding?

You are expecting too much of people. No one except you and your FH are supposed to be paying for your wedding and rehearsal.

No one is required to do anything for your wedding except you (that does not mean plan your own bachelorette). Like @RealLindseyO said, you're expecting way too much.

Yikes, that's a lot to take in....

Stock the bar can be for the shower. Instead of gifts off a registry people bring alcohol. It is for the new couple not for their wedding. I am hoping this is what this is.

It sucks they are not doing the rehearsal dinner food if they said they would but its not their responsibility. You can just have a simple rehearsal dinner with pizza wings and salad. you have time to adjust and figure this out

Well, nothing is really required of anyone... It's your responsibility. But I'm sorry you're feeling like others are not as excited for you as you'd hope, but keep reminding yourself, excitement isnt paying for things, or throwing you parties. There are so many other ways they can show it, like wedding chatting with u about all the details, helping you stay calm when it seems like there are a million things to do etc.

Some people are planners and some people aren't. You knew what your bridal party were like when you chose them. You don't need to take vacation time for dinner and drinks. Maybe they do have plans that don't include an unnecessary weekend away?

You are still 2 months out, so you may luck up and get your money back if you cancel. Check on that asap. Bachelorette parties are overrated and do what you feel is best for your day. Good luck.

I can't even...

Who offered to host your stock the bar? The host should be providing food. As for a bachelorette, if people don't offer, you don't get one. Thems the breaks.

@Kristin - The Stock the Bar party is hosted by my Matron of Honor

Is the stock the bar for your wedding?

@RealLindseyO - No! It's for our new home

@Ms2MRS- Is the stock the bar a shower for your personal liquor cabinet at home? Or are you asking for gifts of alcohol that you plan to use at the wedding?

ETA- saw your response.

If the in-laws said they would provide food for the RD and have cancelled, why not just cancel the rehearsal and RD? No one needs a rehearsal and you are not obligated to have an RD if you don't have a rehearsal.

Holy hell.

You don't get a bachelorette if nobody offers.

You should pay for your own RD food.

I hope the Stock the Bar is in reference to/a substitution for stocking your home bar and not your wedding bar. The host of the party should pay for the food.

@MDEasternShoreBride

So, you tell your MOH she needs to provide the food and give her some ideas of where she can get it from. She needs to do this though, it's part of being a host.

@muriel - Bar at our new home

@JessieJV- My thoughts exactly !!!

If someone else offered to host, you should not be providing anything.
