Ungrateful wedding party
Our wedding is a week away and simply am so frustrated with my
Bridal party that I can't stand it! Firstly I planned my bridal shower for myself as well my my fiances and mine bachelor parties. Not only did they complain about the drive, we went to miami from orlando, but once I got them in the club for free they complained about the prices of the drinks. Since this included my fiances men they complained about going to the club and made it miserable. His best man didn't even offer to buy him a drink and just sat sulking and drinking himself into a
Coma. The bridesmaids bought no bachlorette gifts which I understand money is tight but if I get you into somewhere for free, pay for half your hotel room, and all your paying is food and gas why is everyone complaIning to me about spending money? Not To mention they complained
More about the bad weather which was already steessing me out and the strip club that followed. It was a horrible experience and I wish my fianc and I would have gone with just us. Maybe I'm just frustrated but it seemed really
Ungrateful of them and their behavior just made me wonder if they are even really that close of friends am I wrong to be upset?

</div><div>You're not supposed to throw your own showers or bachelor/bachelorette parties. These are things that people throw FOR you in YOUR HONOR. And it's not your bridesmaids responsibility to do this for you. You aren't ENTITLED to either of these things. I've been married twice and haven't had any showers or bachelorette parties. It's not automatically assumed that people will host these parties. </div><div>
</div><div>So basically what happened here is that you demanded these parties, and threw them for yourself. My guess is that your bridesmaids didn't offer to throw you these parties because they couldn't afford it in the first place. So then you threw them for yourself and essentially demanded they be there, and spend money they didn't have to travel to a different city for a weekend (doesn't matter that you helped pay for part of it...they had to pay for the rest). And you're upset that they didn't get you BACHELORETTE GIFTS? I've never even HEARD of bachelorette gifts. </div><div>

<div>Holy crap! Are you serious? </div><div>
</div><div>You need to get a grip and start doing some damage control. You have gone so far over the line that you can't even see it anymore. You can be sure that all of these people are in shock about what a crazy, controlling psycho you've been. </div>
No way in hell this is real ... or even that entertaining.
Try again.
my friends that arent in WP were more excited about my bachelorette party and shower.
my friends and I planned my bachelorette party. mom planned my shower.
Just shake it off.

Hehe that's what I was thinking. I usually lurk here and I've posted a few times but I'm not a regular. Even I know this is too much drama for one post.
OP- if this whole issue is real, you need to get a grip! You don't throw any parties for yourself, it's not the wedding party's job to do anything except buy their clothing for the wedding and show up sober and on time. Sorry to burst your bubble but, a lot of people don't have a ton of extra cash to spend on everything that YOU want.

<div>This. OP, seriously, you're a little nuts. I'm a bridesmaid to a similar bride, and it's killing me emotionally and financially. These are you friends and loved ones- you are being ungrateful, entitled, rude, and just plain spoiled. If nobody offers to do these things for you, then guess what, you DON'T GET THEM. And guess what else, you still get to get married! And the world will not come to an end. Your bridesmaids are not being selfish or rude or whatever you think of them- they just have their own lives that do not revolve around you.</div>
