Wedding Etiquette Forum

2nd post in an hour... I'm on a roll.

So I wrote this in the 'pre-wedding party' thread but this one seems to be more up & popping... so I brought it to here too. Not sure if it's technically considered etiquette but here we go anyway....

RE my bachelorette party, we're going to Vegas. I gave my MOH the list of girls to invite. Problems: 1. one friend of mine can get a better deal at a different hotel so said she is going to stay somewhere seperate by herself. Which I guess is her own problem but I feel like it will make things difficult (and we have already booked our rooms). 2. Found out yesterday that another friend of mine went ahead & invited her mom to come and stay in a seperate hotel room with her (going to be then) 9 month old son due to seperation anxiety. This way she can check on him every few hours. & no, she's not breast-feeding 3. My cousin wants to invite her boyfriend and share a room with him but claims we'll barely see him since he'll be gambling the whole time. What? I don't understand why people can't just come & stay with the group and make life simple.

Anyone else have issues like this or is it just me?

EDIT: I guess I should have included Vegas is within driving distance to us.. about 4 hours. 45 minute plane ride. A few of these ladies have already been a few times just in this year, so it's not so much of a destination bachelorette party I guess...

  • I would be very nervous about a woman staying by herself (away from the crowd) in Vegas.  It's not a terribly dangerous place, but it can be for women who stray away from the pack.   Could she possibly stay in the same hotel as the other girl's mom and son?   At least then there would be someone else going there periodically...

  • These people are paying a lot of money. If they want others to come for the down time or so they can see their kid, that is reasonable. These are not issues. Let it go.

  • They're coming - I think you should be glad with that.  Vegas is expensive! 

    If one can get a better deal, so be it. 

    If one worked it out so that her mom would come and watch the baby so she could be there for you, so be it.  The alternative would be for her not to come at all.  Is that what you want?

    People have lives.  Vegas is a trip.  Be happy with the times you get together.
  • Vegas is only 4 hours from us and we're driving.... this whole group of girls goes to Vegas about once or twice a year so I didn't see it as that big of a deal. The seperate hotel room I don't care about and I understand the financial part... but like a PP said, it is a little stressful to know she will be taking a taxi by herself to a diff. hotel every night. Or staying there by herself. I just feel like it's the one time to be with all the girls who are close to me... and none of them are staying longer then the weekend.

    You have NEVER hung out with them alone before? How are they close then?

    But they are still driving, paying for a hotel, and stuff while there. You don't get to dictate who they bring. Again this isn't an issue. Why do you care if they bring people? Grown up the F up.

    Four hours is still quite a haul, and a lot of gas money.  Also, you do not get to dictate to them what is "that big of a deal" or not.  To a woman with a baby under 1 year old?  Yeah, leaving her baby for a weekend would probably be a big deal.  She's coming to the party, so what if she wants her baby nearby?  How is it going to affect you?

    I get that you want to see all of your bridesmaids for the weekend, but if it's that important to you that you all stay together maybe skip Vegas and do something a little closer-to-home or cost-effective.

    I can see why this is frustrating, but if the hostess of this weekend-long party sets up an internary (shows, meals, etc) then you can work around it. I get why you wish everyone could just have a fun girls get away, but when you get older and have a family and responsibilities, things just change. Its part of life. Is every woman there bringing a mom, kid or boyfriend? If not, then just spend the down time with those who aren't, and if they are, relax or take a bubble bath. Try not to let a minor annoyance ruin your fun.

    She is an adult. She has made the decision and can take care of herself. Unless the hotel she booked at is very sketchy, the safety issue isn't something to freak over. Just breathe. You are making this all a huge thing, when there are zero issues at all.

  • Seriously.  I don't understand the "she's a girl and will stay far away from us.  I'm nervous" feeling.  But, I live in a large city.  I'm not escorted everywhere (nor would I want to be).  She's an adult.  She can take care of herself.

    [QUOTE]I think her "no one is staying longer than the weekend" wasn't that she wants them to but that it wasn't a reason for extra people to come (extending vacations, etc. like some PPs have suggested). OP, many moms wouldn't want to leave their infant for a weekend. That is around the age separation anxiety gets worse for babies. Not a big deal at all. Four hours for a bachelorette party is still a drive. Consider yourself lucky that your friends are throwing you a nice party, and stop being dramatic about the details.
    Posted by djhar[/QUOTE]

    I understand the infant thing, and had she mentioned it to me I would have never ever said "no, they can't go". I just felt she should have mentioned it. Instead someone completely random told me. I would have been in for a surprise had I shown up and just saw them all. lol. I am not trying to be dramatic... I just have been feeling like every 2 seconds somebody is changing plans or adding plans or something! (not just about the bach.party)... like my cousin was supposed to share a room with me & 2 others & now she is in her own room (with bf) leaving 3 of us to split it. I just thought I would vent on here...ahhhh

    I will say that I understand the frustration.  You have this awesome plan in your head about how things will go and then the reality isn't quite what you had in mind.  It happens!

    It might be a good idea to make some plans ahead of time.  Like, on Friday night we're all having dinner and seeing this show.  Saturday we'll all have lunch here and then meet up again at this place for dinner.  Y'know?  That way people have some freedom to hang out with their brother or see their baby but will know when it's time to meet up.

    Good luck!

    She'll hop in a cab and go to her hotel at the end of the night.  It might be an excellent idea to review a map of the city before you go she knows where her hotel is and will know if the cabbie is going a strange way, but otherwise she'll be fine as long as she has street smarts.  Don't worry.
  • I really don't understand what you need to vent about here - your BMs are coming to what will most likely be an awesome bachelorette party in Vegas.  Is it EXACTLY how you wanted it to happen?  No.  Just accept it and move on.  Wedding planning is only as stressful as you make it. 
  • I dunno. I wouldn't want to take a cab and stay in a hotel by myself in Vegas. Maybe that means I "cant take care of myself" but whatever.

    OP- since your cousin decided to change hotels to stay with her BF, can friend take her place in the room? Where are you staying that she can get a cheaper room on her own one being split four ways?

    As for the baby stuff, let it go, she probably just doesn't want to be four hours away in case of an emergency.

    She gets rooms partially waived where she is staying but by the time she told us we had already booked all the rooms. So I still thinking splitting 4 ways is more. Just staying at the Hardrock... nothing too crazy. I just want to delete this post and don't know how lol. Again, I understand about the baby. Just thought she should have given myself or MOH heads up.
  • It doesn't matter if you delete, you've already been quoted.  Your post is here to stay.
  • You are quoted, so there is no reason to delete.

    The hard rock is a bit off the strip, so it's not really an option to walk her to her hotel since it would be a sketchy walk back for you girls. I understand your concerns with that. I think you can still cancel for a full refund within 48 hours if you guys wanted to switch hotels?

Anyone else have issues like this or is it just me? EDIT: I guess I should have included Vegas is within driving distance to us.. about 4 hours. 45 minute plane ride. A few of these ladies have already been a few times just in this year, so it's not so much of a destination bachelorette party I guess...

    So you would travel an hour and a half for recreation but not for a bach party of a wedding that you're in? I've gone further for much less... I don't get that.

    I get your whole "so what" type attitude about OP's situation but can't you see it at all from her point of view? Someone is bringing their boyfriend to a bach party... that's strange but also rude. The other is bringing a mom and a baby. If that were my situation I probably would've stayed home but if this were a friend of mine with the condition I'd try not to let it bother me.

    Plenty of people travel for bach parties especially Vegas. If someone finds it an inconvenience they usually won't go. I don't think it's within reason to make her feel bad about having a destination bach party. It's not like they're going to Italy or something for christs sake.

    [QUOTE]You are quoted, so there is no reason to delete. The hard rock is a bit off the strip, so it's not really an option to walk her to her hotel since it would be a sketchy walk back for you girls. I understand your concerns with that. I think you can still cancel for a full refund within 48 hours if you guys wanted to switch hotels?

    Thought that so I contacted her but she only gets one room waived (not multiple) and it's at the 4 Seasons which would be much more for everyone else.
  • They are going to Vegas for your Bparty and your going to complain about it?? It seems rather selfish if you ask me. Just be happy they are willing to travel to Vegas for your party.

    I'm assuming she didn't offer for all of you guys to stay in the free room? Hmm I guess she just wants to be alone Smile

    I guess I am the only voice of dissent here that agrees with you that I would be worried about my friend staying alone. I guess the silver lining is that the four seasons is not really a hot spot (and I don't think they have a casino? could be wrong) so it's not as likely for some creeps to follow her. For my b-party two girls stayed in my room and my other two friends we waited for their boyfriends to come get them. We didn't even feel comfortable letting out two drunk friends walk to the next casino by themselves. B-partys usually mean drinks, drunk girls in Vegas attract unwanted male attention. It's just not a good mix.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: 2nd post in an hour... I'm on a roll. : <strong>They are bringing people to THE HOTEL, not the party,</strong> and paying for their own hotel rooms.  It's not like these people asked the MOH to have a crib brought up to the room for the baby or booted someone to the floor so the BMs boyfriend can share a bed with her.

    Every weekend bach party I've heard friends going on have been weekend long parties. There's no seperation between the party and the hotel. A bachelorette party is for the girls and the bachelor party is for the guys. Would you tag along to your husbands friends bach party?

    Have you ever gone on vacation with just the girls before? I wouldn't ever imagine it being appropriate to invite my SO even just the hotel. He wasn't invited.
