Bachelorette Party Disaster

So Saturday was my b party and while I was so excited for it even though all last week people kept cancelling including my MOH. I was determined to make the best of it. So we were having a Slumber Party starting at 6 everyone showing up at 5:30. Well everyone showed up late AND the lady never showed up for the party. So we went to a sex shop instead where everyone bought stuff for FI and I which was cool yet weird.

Afterwards we went to dinner which was great except 1 girl got sick and the waiter was horrible (I went to school with him.) Then during dinner one of my BM's tells me she can only stay at the rehearsal for 30 min because she is going to a concert. And then after dinner 2 of my BM's left, the girl who was sick, and FSIL. So the few of us who were left went to a bar and then they took me home.

The original plan was the Slumber Party, then dinner, and then out for the night. But one of the BM's that left is the one who planned the night. Also no one offered to pay for my dinner except 1 BM who is my cousin and she left after dinner because she is only 20. My feelings were completely hurt by the whole thing. I called my MOH yesterday morning crying because I feel like my wedding is an inconvience for everyone.

My MOH and 1 BM are getting married next year, 2 BM's have been in 3 weddings this year alone and are exhausted and my other BM just doesn't seem to care. I am grateful for everyone who came out and for what they did do but it was just a horrible night.

End Vent.

    I'm so sorry :(  and for the record it is SO rude to leave an event early, that you (the BM) planed! As for the concert, I'd probably throw a slight fit about that...but I know what you mean about it seeming like your wedding is an "invonvience" - we've about had enough of it -- esp. since all of our attendance are getting married this summer and are making all kinds of demands (that we'd never do to them).

  • i had the exact same thing happen.. except no one left the party early..i just had none show up except my one MOH and friend (who i called THAT day and told her to come.. ..
  • Awe that's a bummer! Of course we would all love for everyone to drop everything and attend our parties for the whole time that isn't always the case. 

    My MOH, and 2 BMs had to leave my shower early and then my MOH wasn't able to come to my Bachelorette party because her back issue was acting up and she needed to lay in bed. I was slightly sad, but whatever. I would much rather have these girls over for a relaxing movie night then attend my shower or bachelorette party.

  • totally happened to me yesterday... i'm so sorry for you, i totally feel your pain!  my shower was yesterday and only like 5 people even showed and my MOH (my only attendant) had no idea what she was doing so i ended up running the thing.... and my MOH made a big deal about how hard she worked on it and how broke she was after paying for it... so ya... crappy experience all around... bummer ladies!

  • Why did they leave? I think being sick is a legit excuse whether you planned it or not.

    also, being 20 is a legit excuse since I'm assuming she left because she legally had to as there was drinking involved?

    Not sure about FSIL's excuse.

    People have their reasons, though it does suck when all your friends can't be there the whole time :(

  • I feel ya! Mine wasn't a disaster but it wasn't as great as I had envisioned. My FSIL and a few friends left by 9pm, other friends never showed. My old "party" friend was there but announced her pregnancy (and I'm super happy for her) so she wasn't drinking. Ended up with me and my 3 sisters in a bar drinking (and one wasn't because she was the DD) and we were back at the hotel by midnight.

    I'm sorry everyone bailed on you! Hopefully the trade-off will be everyone having a glorious time at the wedding!

  • I was fine with the girl who got sick and with my BM who is 20. However FSIL said she had church in the morning now mind you I planned and did everything for her bachelorette party and she was fine with staying out till 2 am and then going to church the next morning.
    My BM who planned it left because her husband was in town which would be find had she not been the one to pick the date because the original date (May 5) was too close to her finals AND this way it was enough in advance at the time so she could plan for him not to come in town that weekend. And he did and she left!
  • I'm so sorry your night ended up sucking :( that was really rude of those girls and I would rip the Slumber Party people apart online so others know they don't show up before booking them!

  • I feel ya. I have been disappointed for similar reasons as well. Your wedding is not an inconvenience people just don't think sometimes.
