bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
This might be a silly question, but if you're doing a weekend somewhere for a bachelorette party... does everything get paid for- for the bride to be the whole weekend?
like dinner, drinks all weekend, sunset cruise, etc etc???

Re: bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
A whole weekend? Depends on who is planning it. If the bride is telling the MOH etc exactly what she wants to do then I feel she should foot part of the bill, especially if it's something expensive. If she is being surprised by the MOH and bridal party, and everyone going agrees to it, I think it's fine for her bill to be covered by everyone else.

I'd say the bride usually chips in, especially if things are pricey. When I've done expensive bachelorette parties (Vegas, for example) the bride paid for flight and we split her hotel and one big dinner. The rest of meals and club covers, etc., she paid for.
I was the MOH and my friend was insistent that we go to the Hamptons and it was pretty pricey so she volunteered to pay her share, we just took her out to dinner one night.
I would say the bridal party should not have to pay for everything if its a pricey trip, but that's IMO.

Re: bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
well the MOH isn't going, nor has she done anything for it or chipped in even though she isn't going.  So I had to plan it.
We are doing Newport for the weekend. Paying for her hotel and ferries.
However it just dawned on me about dinners, drinks, etc and if we should be paying the whole time for her. So that's why I asked. I haven't been on too many bachelorette's so I wasn't sure.

Re: bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
My friends payed for the hotel, my share of dinner and one or two rounds. As the night went on, I bought a few rounds too.
But I didn't have a weekend trip party. I think multiple days gets to be a little crazy.

I only had/wanted a one night thing, and they refused to take money from me for the dinner drinks or hotel. But if it were a whole weekend or a more expensive trip, I think it would have been different.

I would take her out for one dinner and a round or two of drinks. The rest on her since you are covering hotel and ferry.

Re: bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
None of the bachelorette parties I've been at involved an overnight trip. But all the bachelorette parties I've been to..the bride to be did not pay for anything. I didn't pay for anything at mine either.

bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
For overnight trips, I have never had to pay for the bride for anything, with the exception of a round of drinks for her.
My DH just got invited to a bachelor party to Mexico - 2K per person PLUS they would need to pay for the bachelor. My DH literally LOL-ed at this! Our family vacations do not even cost that much per person. Guess we can scratch that bachelor party off the list.

bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
Mine wasn't an overnight, we stayed on LI with a limo, pole dancing class and drinks at some bar I don't remember :) , I didn't pay for anything, but I'm not 100% on how much everything was.
I was a bm in a trip to OC, MD and the bride paid for a few things (like breakfast) but some of the girls wanted us to cover literally everything which I didn't agree with for the whole weekend, so I think she covered some of her meals. The bride did go out of her way to buy US gifts for the party and some other things so I know she truly appreciated everything we did for her so it didn't really bother me.

Re: bachelorette weekend- bride to be pay for anything?
Within my group of girls we've always done a day into night thing plus a one night hotel stay and the bride has never paid for anything. Keep in mind though that the entire experience was always kept secret. There was literally someone picking her up in the morning and other than the time to be ready she had no idea where she was going or what to expect.
I'm not sure how a weekend trip would be handled.
