Large Bachelorette Party

Dittmann

My sister is getting married in July and we are planning her bachelorette party in June. I would love to take her to a ball game but I really can't afford it. She is planning on about 20 people for the party and I am at a loss for what to do. I am thinking of dinner and a winery but I would like to keep cost down for people and there is travel taht is a problem too. Any ideas on someting different that we can do for the party? Thanks

Is there any way you can talk to people who might feel like they HAVE to be there (other sisters and bridemaids) about what they think is a good budget? I mean, no one has to go, other than the bride, but it would be nice if they weren't excluded because you planned it slightly above their budgets.

What about dinner and a wine tasting? Are there any nice wine bars in her area?

A Winery is were I am looking mainly. there is one about 15 min away and then about 10 1hr away. I just didn't know if asking for $30 or $40 is too much to ask.

<div>This is a completely subjective question. In my circle, $30-$40 would be a steal for a bachelorette party, so I don't think it's too much to ask at all. </div><div>
