Vent re: Bach party

My MOH (my only BP attendant) wants to throw me a bachelorette party. I gave her a list of women I would like to see invited. My wedding is not until 9/27/14. I have no idea what my MOH is planning, but I told her to keep it low-key and close by. It will be during the summer (I think) so she probably is just trying to pick out a weekend that works for everyone. 

One of the women I wanted invited just sent me a long text about how she's broke and she doesn't think she can afford to attend and blah blah blah, she'll have to wait to see. Seriously, why is she even getting me involved? Email this to my MOH. I have NO idea what she's planning. I'm so irritated. If she can't afford to come, that's fine. I totally understand. She knows I wouldn't care. 

Re: Vent re: Bach party

  • This makes me mad for you. I threw a bach party for a dear friend of mine, there were a few people who kept complaining to her about how expensive it was going to be. (They told her I was trying to book at $5,000 a night limo, is there a limo that even costs that much!?) She called me in tears telling me to cancel the whole thing and I had to talk her down. Worst of all, the trouble makers ended up bailing on her wedding and the party. Grrr!
    I'm very sorry for them involving you, that's just unnecessary.
  • We aren't getting married until next year, and I already had to talk my sister/MOH down from a destination Vegas bach.  I'm excited she's excited, but yeesh!

    And yeah, just tell your friend to contact your MOH because it's a surprise and you have no idea.  And then maybe I'd talk to my MOH about keeping costs down. :-/

  • This also makes me mad for you. My MOH asked me what I wanted, and I suggested doing winery tours -- we live near a lot of small, local vineyards, all of which offer free tastings (so a "tour" actually meant "going to several of them all in one day.")

    They took me out to hibachi before the tours for lunch, and bought me and then-FI a bottle of wine at one of the vineyards. The total cost for everyone was $20.

    I'm gonna go with 'not my circus, not my monkeys.'
  • So I texted this girl back telling her to please let my MOH know. She seemed surprised that I was asking her to do that. She texted me back, "Oh, Ok. I thought I should let you know first." Buh? Am I the one that emailed you? 

    I then talked to my MOH to give her a heads up. MOH said what she has planned is more than 6 months away and it's hardly extravagant or over-the-top. (I'm guessing it's something like a winery tour too). So, oh well. I'm still annoyed she felt the need to contact me and I'm disappointed she is bowing out so far from the day, but what can you do? 
  • Weird. Maybe she doesn't like your MOH? Or is just clueless about communication.
