Splitting cost for Bach party?

No, you're right. If you all paid her that, she wouldn't be contributing.

It's nice she offered to put her card down for the deposit, but she should still pay. So if the total is $800, split that among the 7 of you. So $115 per person. If she puts her card down for the deposit, I assume they will charge the remaining $400 on her card as well. So everyone pays her $115 then she pays her own portion of $115. If she is trying to profit from this and not pay her portion, you should just offer to put it on your card. I can only assume the $400 deposit will go towards the final $800 cost.

We used the splitwise app for settling up charges at the end of my bachelorette. She can input her 400 dollars she spent and you guys can all input what money you spent as well. You can decide to divide it evenly or however you want. It made life sooooo much easier!!!

If you want to do it without an app, you would split the 400 seven ways.

My Bm's and friends used the same app. best thing ever!

OP your math is correct, something is not right in her thought process.

You’re right. It should be $400 divided by 7. So everyone contributes $57something... so I’d round up to $58.


Sounds like she just wants to get out of paying her share since she’s the one who put the card down.... but she’ll also get cash back or points on her credit card for having made the payment herself lol so don’t feel so bad

You’re correct, your sister is wrong. It’s $400 divided by 7 which has her paying for her portion. I agree with Neeva. Use the splitwise app for the entire trip. Very helpful!

Is it possible she was splitting it 6 ways so that you don’t have to pay? I’ve heard of some people having the bridesmaids pay for the bride on the bachelorette party. I would just clarify with her.
