I felt so horrible, I ended up paying for half of my MOH's dress. &nbsp;Since the bachelorette party was really informal at my MOH's house, everyone brought whatever (pizza, beer, daiquiris, etc), so she didn't have to worry about the wording on the invite. &nbsp;I just wish she hadn't paid for so much of it herself... yeah, I have a lot of &quot;bridal guilt&quot; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-157489 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:54:40 +0000 phillygirl 157489@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>When I threw a bachelorette party for my girlfriend, I included the costs on the invite as a courtesy so everyone knew what to expect. We planned several events for the evening and I especially wanted the out of town guests to know what things would cost. Plus, my co-host and I paid for part of the pole-dancing class and only asked for everyone to pitch in a small amount. The way I worded it on the invite was as follows:&nbsp; </p> <p>The Details: (date, time, location of events)</p> <p>The Damage: (estimated cost for each portion of the night - dinner, pole dancing class, club/drinks) </p> <p>What to Bring: (clothes for dancing, etc) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-157304 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 10:07:40 +0000 LittleBear 157304@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Humarockbride... Thanks! Those are awesome! I am sending the link to my sister/moh right now :) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-157293 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 09:58:17 +0000 HumarockBride 157293@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I love these invitations for a bachelorette party .... and I think the way they worked out the payment is really cool .... <a href="http://jsullivandesign.com/blog/?p=241&nbsp;" rel="nofollow">http://jsullivandesign.com/blog/?p=241&nbsp;</a> </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-156864 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:17:03 +0000 LindseyMarie52 156864@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>The bachelorette parties I've been to we all paid our own way, Or chipped in money for the limo/party bus/VIP table. I also think an evite is an okay way to go about the invites. They have SOOO many different themes and you can type out ALL the information and then the guests can see who is coming and who isn't. I'm going to a bachelorette party in Tahoe this April and I'm from San Diego so it was so helpful to see who was going so I could call them and hitch a ride with them! (All of the girls live in the Bay Area) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-156686 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 11:27:51 +0000 Erindesmar 156686@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I agree with Cupcake - usually people expect to pay their own way when attending a bachelorette.&nbsp; If you are concerned people will think you are paying, erhaps after people RSVP, you could send an email to those who have said they are coming with an estimate for dinner or sending them a link to the restaurant's menu? </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-156614 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:01:27 +0000 happilywaiting 156614@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I've always expected &amp; for the most part paid my own way at a bachelorette party so I wouldn't worry too much as I think that's more the norm. The last one I attended as a BM &amp; we just spread the word to everyone about bringing some cash as it made splitting the bill for dinner etc easier. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/asking-bachelorette-party-guests-to-pay-their-own-way#post-156571 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 07:42:39 +0000 cupcake 156571@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty standard for guests to pay their own way (and for the bridesmaids to split the cost of the bride's dinner/etc.) at a bachelorette, at least that's what all the bachelorette parties I've been to have been like.&nbsp; If you want to make it clear without being too blunt, maybe request that people bring cash so it's easier to split the bill?&nbsp; Or just mention that you have tried to choose venues for the party that will accommodate everyone's budget.&nbsp; Rather than saying &quot;everyone has to pay for themselves&quot; I think this will clue them in a bit more subtlely :-) </p>
