Bachelorette: How much input do we really have??

This is literally the only place I can vent, so here is my issue: I'm not a clubber, I don't particularly like clubs or going out. My best friend is also in a bad financial spot ( she's been there for about 4 years since she had her daughter) and my maid of honor is only 16  (she's my little sister). Since they were planning my bachelorette I gave my sister the idea of going to Halloween Horror Nights since a.) she can actually get in and I can celebrate with her b.) we have passes and a house, so they'd end up paying about $25 a head for the ticket plus their meals...which is way less than a nightclub and c.) because FI doesn't like Horror Nights so it would be my last time going. My BFF argument is that I am already asking ppl to travel for my wedding in Dec and it's not fair to ask them to go up for my bachelorette and that she doesn't have the $$ and won't go. She loves to party (sometimes at places I wouldn't want to go) and wants to plan a night out. I am very paranoid about drinking and driving and told her if we go out we need to get a room or at least a ride. I think this is going to cost her waaay more than she thinks and my younger sister also won't be able to join in....advice?? Any?

  • uhhh Horror Nights sounds like fun!
    I think even if you don't have input in the planning you get to say what you'd like. I think your friend would be selfish to plan something she'd like but not you AND your sister can't make it? That would be out of the question for me.

    Maybe she has an idea in her head of how these things *should* be? I told my sister (MOH), no strippers, no p*nis jokes, nothing like that, I want it classy and classy it was. I would have been pissed off otherwise.

    Your question reminded me of that Sex&theCity episode where Miranda doesn't want a baby shower because she doesn't want diapers and fake poop and blue things....lol.....so instead she gets chicken wings...gotta love her!
  • It does sound like a lot of fun! You and I are very similar, Nikki. I am not into clubbing or partying at all, and I would much prefer something fun like your idea. You could always suggest to your friend to carpool, which would be much cheaper. You're lucky they're planning a bachelorette party! My bridal party is lame, and with only 2 weeks left, it looks like one is not going to happen for me lol

    Best suggestion would be to ask if she would be okay with carpooling.

    You should that would help bridal parties plan what the bride actually wants lol.

    I'm so opposite I want it all. One of my friends got married in 2010 her bachelorette party was at the Hard Rock I volunteered to be sober driver we partied like rock stars! Crammed 6 girls in my CrV heading there an ride back consisted of 8 girls at 4 am! She had a dare list to complete and wore the entire pnis ansamble. Prior to heading out we played games and some of us girls won prizes to wear. I know what I want and I told my ladies already lol
  • you should definitely have a say and be able to yes or no.  You should remind your BFF of your sister's age and that you want to include her since she is your MOH.  carpooling of course is always a good idea.  Maybe offer to buy pizza for all of the girls one night you are there as a thnak you and to cut expenses.  Tell her if she is wanting to go out with you to a bar you can do that just the two of you or have her over for champagne/girls night?? Ultimately they are clelbrating you and it's "your" night. Just stay sweet because she is obviously very sensitive and stressed.  good luck girly and have fun wherever you go!!

  • I'd put your foot down on this one honestly especially since you'd have to exclude your little sister if you went clubbing. 

    HHN sounds like a really fun way to celebrate!!
