Bachelorette party transportation

If this has already been asked.. i'm sorry! I didn't see it in any searches...

My sis/MOH has planned my bachelorette party and invited the bridal party and some of my close girl friends and family. (10-15 girls max) My fiance is picking me and the one OOT bridesmaid who is staying with us for the weekend. My mom was picking up my sis and my cousin who lives with them. Some of the other girls are questioning who their DD will be. I thought at the bachelorette party everyone fends for themselves. The only one i've been to, where i was a BM, i had to arrange my own transportation.

So, the question is, is the MOH or bride responsible for arrainging transportations for everyone attending the bachelorette party?

Thanks in advance!

    I would think the host is responsible for making sure people have safe transportation. At mine, my MOH hosted it and offered to DD. She drank once we got back to our hotel room. At the very least, taxi numbers should be on hand in case someone needs a ride home.

    Ya I agree, I think your MOH should think that one out. You definitely don't want to risk anyone driving drunk. That being said, its not something you as the bride should worry about.

    The bride is not responsible for any part of the planning. The MOH could get some estimates for transportation and then find out if the guests want to chip in for it. If the answer is no, they should make sure they have someone sober to pick them up.

    @MairePoppy- There was no set transportation (limo, party bus, etc) because nobody could afford it.

    I'm not involved in planning, but girls have asked my mom, my sis, and me directly, and my MOH wanted my input before she spoke to them. My fiance has made it clear he isn't DD'ing everyone. Just me and the girl staying with us. I personally don't want to volunteer my mom to drive all over dropping random girls off. Most live within a half hour, but that's a lot of gas money and a lot of time. (and while I love my mom dearly, my friends would find it lame)

    I was personally leaning towards telling my MOH to say everyone is responsible for their own transportation, but if they want her to coordinate and see who would be DD and be willing to pick up and drop off she would and let everyone know the options.

    My fear is some of these girls are big party girls, and I'm not sure they will want to leave when I do (i'm not a big party person and I doubt i'll be out later than 1am) and then that holds up others from leaving, or forces the DD to be out extra late and make multiple trips. I just dont want anyone to break etiquette by saying 'these are your options, if you don't take them, you are responsible for your own ride'. if that's not how it's supposed to be.

    I need all the input I can get! Thank you all!

    Are you in an area where the girls could get a taxi? If so I would think that would be the best option!

    We're offering a cab service. People can choose to take a cab from my house, or drive themselves if they don't want a cab. But at least it's cheaper than a limo, and we are offering a way to have a safe DD. Plus, they could choose to leave when they want.
