Bachelorette Party Question

MrsL2014

Okay so yes I am the bride, but the Maid of Honor is wanting to know what I would like to do for the bachelorette party because we have a different situation. I have 2 maid of honors, one is my age and one is 12. They are the only two women in my wedding.

We were planning on doing something more age appropriate with all the young girls in the family, but some of us older girls want to go out and party!

Well we live a few hours away from the Mall of America and I am kinda wanting to have a van full of close friends go to the MOA for the day and get a hotel for the night. My only concern is who is paying for this because I don't want my MOH to have to worry about paying for the whole trip for all the women.

So the question is, is it appropriate to ask that women who go to help pay for the room/gas for the night? Probably would be less than $20 per person. Or should I just not mention that idea to my MOH?

Maybe give your MOH a few different possibilities of what you would like since she asked.

You could mention this idea as being fun, but say you know not everyone may be up for a hotel stay and paying for it, etc. so if that is a no go, here are a couple other local ideas.

I think it's fine to mention it, but be sure to also let her know that if it presents any financial difficulties for anyone you are just as happy to do something locally to accommodate everyone.

In my circle, each person invited to the bachelorette party pays her own way as far as room, food, etc. I think your plan sounds fine.

Come up with a couple of options with different price ranges.   Let your MOH decide which would work for everyone's pockets.

My sister went to Atlantic City for hers and we stayed over at a hotel. Each girl paid for the room herself (room price was split among the number of girls in each room). I think in general at most bach parties, everyone pays for themselves. Sometimes all the girls will also chip in and split the costs for the bride.

I wouldhave your MOH ask everyone what they are comfortable spending then pick the activities based on what everyone wants to spend. If you want to do the mall idea, but most girls can't afford the hotel- maybe could everyone crash at someone's house to limit costs?
