Destination bachelor party and wedding...ok?

gabi829

My fi and I are having a destination wedding cruise and he has scheduled his bachelor party for about 5 months beforehand.  He and his friends are organizing a weekend in Vegas, and I'm afraid that since both the bachelor party and the wedding will require travel that most of his friends will just attend the bachelor party.  He's anticipating having about 30-40 people attend his bachelor party and I'm afraid that nobody will show up to the wedding except for my girl friends, family members, and the one guy whose wife probably won't let him attend the bachelor party.  Am I just worrying about nothing?

We are obviously doing a DW, and for my bachelorette, my girls and I (only 4 total) are going to Florida for a weekend.  But I think your sitaution is a little different.  We only have to pay airfare and food.  And plus I'm paying for my girls lodging at the wedding.  So they arn't putting out alot of money.

Wow... 30-40 people at a bachelor party! That's a lot! lol.Well you may be right about that situation. How much traveling is required for them to get to Vegas? I live in SoCal so getting to Vegas is no big deal, but if you guys live in say... somewhere in New England then yes - getting to Vegas is a much bigger deal and therefore may keep some guys from coming to the wedding. You just have to talk to your FI and share your concerns. Honestly, if he doesn't care and would rather have everyone at his bach party, then I feel like that's his decision. Just make him aware of your concerns because he may not have thought of it that way.
