In Response to Re: Bachelorette Invites?:
I didn't tell my guests no gifts, but I have seen others mention gifts regarding a bachelorette party, which is why I put that in my post. I've set the expectation with my bridesmaids that I want things to remain casual and that I don't want anyone else throwing in money/gifts towards the party or cost of the party. I am not throwing my own party, but helping my bridesmaids. I appreciate that many of you are having someone do it for you, all in your honor. However, my bridesmaids have lives and families too. I want them to enjoy this process with me, not be breaking the bank trying to throw something in my honor. This isn't meant to insult anyone, but I was a bridesmaid before. When I did that, it was a nightmare. I don't want to be that bride to my bridesmaids. (I am not implying that any of you are that; I am saying from my own experience, I don't want anyone to feel the way I did when I was a bridesmaid) Thank you all for the input. I appreciate it.

Mine do as well. We planned a weekend around everyone's schedule. My MOH and I are driving to Savannah, picking up the other 2 girls along the way. We're hitting up some bars and staying at a hotel room near by. So all the girls have to pay for is drinks, food, and splitting the cost of a hotel room 3 ways (they will not let me help: I did offer) and my MOH also has to pay gas.
Bachelorette parties don't have to be like what you see in movies where peopel go to Vegas and rent limos. NO ONE I know does that. It doesn't have to break the bank.
So did anyone even offer to throw you a bachelorette party? If you just decided to do it, then that was tacky. But if they asked you what you wanted to do and gave them ideas, thats not. Regardless, my answer still stands. If you don't call it a bachelorette party, it wouldn't be rude to invite these other people. If you do, you're going against etiquette.
