Bachelorette party vent/WTF

I just need to b!tch for a second, I hope y'all understand.

Just had my bachelorette party  - it was kind of thrown together last minute by some friends that felt bad that I wasn't having one. I totally appreciate the thought, even though I wasn't really that concerned with it and would've been perfectly fine without one.

However... I ended up having to pay for my own meal, all the appetizers, and my own drinks, in addition to driving myself and picking up one of the other girls.

WTF? Is this normal? I've never been to a b-party like this.

    Honestly?  I'd let it go.  You had a party.  It's a little silly to be all "I paid for myself!!  Hello!?!?!  I'm the BRIDE.  You pay for me!!"

    Vent all you want here, but let it go in real life.

    Please re-read the sentence in your post that you appreciate the thought and that if you didn't have one you would have been content.  The night may not have been what you thought but did you have fun with your friends?  If you did that is all that really matters.

    I am with Joy. It's not nomal, but there's nothing you can really do now.  My H had to pay for himself for every aspect of his B-party.  He came home and was like "that was weird" but never said a thing to his friends.

    I'm sorry your friends did this. No, it is not normal for your friends to host a B-party for you and turn around and make you pay for your food / drinks. Have they hosted a B-party before? Maybe they didn't know.

    It is a little lame, yes.  But I'd never say anything to my friends.  I hope you feel better now that you've vented.

    It's unfortunate, but don't bring it up to your friends. There isn't any way that would turn out well. I don't think it's normal, either. Maybe they all just thought the other would take care of it, and then no one did.

    I woudln't take it personally.  Everyone could have been under the impression that someone else was paying for you and because of it, nobody paid.  You had a good night with your girls.  That's what matters.

    Sometimes?  Shiiit happens.

    It sounds like it wasn't really well planned.  Actually, it kinda sounds like something I'd plan Wink or start planning and then get distracted by something shiny and not get everything quite right.

    Keep in mind that these people are your friends.  They did try to do something for you on  short notice.  They did it because they care about you and wanted you to have the experience.

    I'm pretty sure they weren't doing it to be jerks and make you pay.

    So, it's all in how you look at it at this point.  Is it something you want to affect your friendships with these people forever?  Or is it something you just need to accept and move on from?  I'd go with option 2, myself.

    I disagree that she shouldn't expect to have her meal covered. Etiquette says that everyone should cover their own expenses and as a group they should cover the bride / groom.

    I agree it is not worth bring up and to let it go.

    How about Emily Post.

    I'm not saying she needs to stomp her feet, but if she left her money at home technically she is not wrong for assuming her friends would pay.

    "Who pays? <p>Hosts pay for the shower expenses. At bachelor or bachelorette parties, each guest normally pays his or her own tab, and everyone chips in to cover the expenses for the bride or groom since they are the ones being honored"</p>

    Key word.  I don't know.  I expected to pay for some things when I was out at my b-party.  Maybe that was naive of me. 

    And I agree with PP, maybe there was some confusion and everyone else thought that the bride was taken care of.

    I was at a bachelorette last weekend and even though we covered the brides expenses she paid for some of her own drinks even though we tried to pay for them, but couldn't always beat her to it. I do find it weird that you had to pay for things, but you vented now get over it as PPs said.

    Who goes out without money or a debit/credit card?  No, really.  You should be prepared for all kinds of things.  What if something happens and you have to go to a hospital?  They don't often accept, "oh, sorry, forgot my wallet at home!" as payment. 

    WHO DOES THAT?

    Technically?  I'd call that irresponsible.  And expecting everyone to pay for you is somewhat entitled.  Be grateful if they do, but be prepared if they don't.

    I'm definitely not stomping my feet.... just wondered if this was proper and I was just unaware. I was under the impression that it was like any other party - you don't throw a party for someone else and expect them to supply the food and drinks (cash bar, anyone?).

     I didn't expect to have every little expense covered, but had I known that I was going to have to pay for everything, down to splitting the cost of the appetizers, I'd have declined the party altogether. It was not a cheap restaurant and we could've put the near $100 towards more booze or food for the wedding. They were very clear with the waitress that they wanted each person's check separate, so no confusion about who thought who was paying. Is that when I should've been stomping my feet? <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

    Only if you wanted to look massively entitled.

    Look, it sucks that your friends offered to throw you a party and stuck you with your share of the bill.  It's inconsiderate, sure.  Is it worth ruining your friendships over?  If the $100 bothers you so much...did you have fun?  Did you have a good time and make some good memories?  Then I would consider it $100 well spent, look on the bright side, and move forward.

    Ok, here's the thing.  I've got friends that I don't really go out to dinner with.  Ever.  Because I've been stuck with more than my share of the bill more times than not.  I know this about them.

    I've got friends who I know will just get a group bill and when we walk away, the waitress is getting a giant tip because they'll all put in significantly more than what's on the bill.

    I've got friends who'll get a group bill then practically drag out the calculators to figure out how much everyone owes.

    And I've got friends who just get separate bills to avoid the problems.

    I know who these people are.  I know what to expect when I go out with John and what to expect when I go out with Jane. 

    If you're close enough to these people that they wanted to throw you a last minute party, you should've known what they'd be like.  Or at least suspected.  If you're not that close to them, you shouldn't be surprised they weren't willing to pay for you.

    I honestly don't even understand what this means. You said something most people considered incorrect and, as such, you were asked to cite your source. You did then cite Emily Post, but it also turns out you'd misquoted the key part of what was said, so two people noted that.

    I did not have a b-party, but H did. We planned for him to have enough money on him to cover all of his expenses, even though we expected they would be covered. Everyone did chip in and cover his tab/food/cover, but if they hadn't, he would have gladly paid the bill and never said a word to anyone. He had a fabulous time, and it was well worth the money he was willing to spend.

    OP, you can't change what happened. No, it wasn't normal that you had to pay for yourself. However, you can't do anything about it now. Vent here all you like, but there is nothing to gain from confronting your friends about it.

    But obviously not everyone knows that it's in proper form to do this, hence the cash bar questions. ;-)  That's why it's a good idea to be prepared with cash or a debit card.  It sucks that this happened to you- I would have been surprised, too.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Bachelorette party vent/WTF : Well, given that you told someone they were wrong for their response early on... you're surprised that people are "blaming" you for what you said?  Which is what the person you claimed was wrong said? wtf.

    No...I was being accused of using a source like wedding wire or TK. I understood why she felt weird that her friends didn't pay. With all the brides that come on her acting entitled to things, I wanted the OP to know that she isn't being bratty to assume.

    Sorry if it came off wrong...

    Pretty sure they're talking to Carla.


    ETA: hmm....could've sworn the quote that was referenced was from Carla.  Oh, well.  Carry on.

    I think the point people are making is that it's fine to vent/rant about it, but in real life it's not that big a deal and you just move on.

    For some people, it probably wouldn't even be rant worthy.  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />
