I am unsure what to do ladies, I am getting so stressed out with my bridesmaids...my sis (MOH) is planning my bachelorette party and I have no clue what the plans are because it is a surprise but she told me that she got in touch with everyone quite a few months back to make sure they could afford it and everyone agreed and gave the ok with it (she was willing to change the plans if it was not okay) but now a few of them are trying to tell her it is too expensive, I fully understand that times are hard but why if you knew a few months back how much it would cost did you not plan for it or say no. and we are also getting a block of rooms at the B&B attached to our reception hall for a lower price but only if we have all 6 rooms so I told everybody that said they wanted a room how much it was and now one of the people (the best man) that said yes for sure wont give us a positive answer and hasn't paid yet, we cant really say hey its another 40 bucks now if we don't get the sixth room.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through that. I think a lot of people get caught up with the excitement of a plan and don't think "will I have the money to do this in 3 months." which really sucks for everyone else involved.

If you are unable to pick up the extra cost I would find the people who are unsure and tell them that you need an answer so that you know whether to go ahead with the plans or consider cancelling them. Then whichever way that goes, inform the people that have reserved of the cost increase/cancellation/whatever you decide.

Most likely what will happen is we are just going to pay for the room and hopefully find someone to rent it I just really hope we dont end up paying $120 if not needed but I dont wanna ask everyone else to pay more thats just rude to me. I wish I could help with the party but my sister absolutely refuses to tell me anything about it much less pay for anything of it. and I fell bad for my sis that she's done so much to plan this and now with 54 days til the wedding she may have to redo the plans altogether. :/ I just want to be happy that all the big detail are taken care of and be excited that we are so close but it's hard because I am so stressed :/

I can understand that you are stressed, but just try to remember that there are (unfortunately) things beyond your control. Try to make the best of it, and maybe try to fill the room with someone that maybe wasn't invited but would like the opportunity? At least it won't be a wasted room and you won't have to pick up the tab.

This situation reminds me of my friend's bachelorette party. All of her BM's agreed to get hotel rooms and go bar hopping for the night, so her FSIL booked the rooms for them all and put them on her CC. I went, but I wasn't planning on staying in a room. When I got there she was in tears because ALL of her BM's (except her FSIL) backed out and left her FSIL stuck with the bill on her CC.
-These BM's were real pieces of work, let me tell ya-
So even though I hadn't planned on staying in a room that night I ended up staying and chipping in on the bill just so her FSIL wouldn't be stuck with all of that financial mess.
