Life happened and I've been dormant, but figured the ladies here would appreciate a train wreck story to start the week.
Friend is getting married in October and her bach is in Sept. Everyone invited to the bach is local and all activities are within 25 minutes.
First email came from MOH in January with a "need to know if you're coming" by March 1st. I repeat, the party is in August. The plan was to go to dinner, a club and stay in a ritzy hotel - "the hotel is optional". Dinner is at this 5 star, extremely expensive restaurant. Ok, fine, I can eat before and order a side salad or something. But wait, MOH says that she is a student and planning her own wedding so everyone else needs to split the bride's expenses because she "just can't".. Then the club. It's one of the most exclusive night clubs in the area and she wants to get a VIP booth for $110/person (if everyone attends - more if they don't). Then she wants to hire a private stripper for pre-club entertainment, so that's going to cost $30/person. And the limo is going to be $60/person. And everyone needs to wear carnation pink or black. If we have questions about what is carnation pink, let her know.
I don't think anyone responded definitively (my RSVP was, 'I'm not sure yet') because another email came "extending the deadline" to March 30th. A few of responses came in akin to "is this my super sweet bach?" "I don't really want to pay for a stripper" "that's a lot of money" Still, I'm guessing response was low because we got "another extension to April 30th".
Then there was a follow up email in May. Plans had changed "because not enough of you b*ches responded or you're all just stingy lol". She scratched the club, but dinner, the limo, hotel and the stripper are still on. And since we're not doing the club with the VIP booth, we all need to buy matching tank tops that say 'bride's posse' "so that everyone knows we're out for her bach." Because how else would everyone know? Thankfully, we have an address where we can send checks made out to the MOH.
It's good that no one can see my face via email because it is:
