My 4 close friends (15 plus years of friendships) took on the responsibility of planning my bachelorette party. I told them we could stay local and be low key but they insisted we could go to New Orleans (I am from there and love Nawlins). The dominate/controlling friend takes the lead on it but apparently get a little upset when others want information or want to help so she completely stops planning and communicating. The other 3 pick it up the planning but since have dropped the ball. I am now planning my own bachelorette party (lodging, traveling, collecting money, etc.) . I have a lot of friends and people who want to share this experience with me (plus they wanted to visit Nawlins) so it's about 28 of us. This is the only reason I took it on or I would have cancelled it. One of them did say they were sorry that I was planning my own party but has a lot going on with her children. The other 4 have said nothing and not to mention, are always late with their payment for the trip. One of them even asked me this morning, what are the dates for the trip. Really? Now these are the same "friends" who expressed vocally that they wanted to be in the wedding and let everyone else know how long we have been friends. I am feeling some type of way about this. Should I just let it go?
By the way - they also wanted me to have my own room but they are not paying for my room or flight, which I am fully capable of doing, but I could have gotten a roommate and saved some money.
