    Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I just have to vent about this quick.  Ok, my MOH and I were talking about what to do for my bachelorette party and she thinks it would be nice for just me and her to go away for the weekend somewhere.  Which was ok with me since my other 2 BMs are my cousins still under 21.  The issue is, since it's only the 2 of us, I think the only thing she plans on paying for is the hotel (not having help from other BMs) because she doesn't have a lot of money and I can't imagine her paying for food or anything like that.  Plus she was cringing when we looked up hotel rates.  And I can't afford to go on another trip where I would have to pay for food, drinks, activities, etc. that close to my wedding and honeymoon.  I've mentioned  going out in a nearby city and staying just overnight in a hotel instead so it would be (obviously) cheaper than planning things to do for an entire weekend. 

    One of my other friends who is not a BM thinks this is weird and she wants to throw me a separate bachelorette party and says I shouldn't have to pay for a thing since it's supossed to be my party.  The 2 of these friends aren't really fond of each other, so including them both in something is not possible.

    What did everyone else do for theirs or what are you planning to do??

    Why don't you just have two?  But make sure you let your MOH know what was offered (so she isn't surprised when she finds out about it).

    Do you have other friends that would attend? Just because your friends aren't in your wedding party doesn't mean they shouldn't come celebrate your last days as a single woman! If you have a lot of girlfriends that want to throw you a party then I would tell your MOH that you would rather have a party back home so that all of your other friends can participate. This way she doesn't have to go out of her comfort zone to buy everything for you solo and you get your way too.

    That's kind of tough.  So if this second friend threw you something, who else would come?  Would it be 2 parties each with you and one friend?  Is it possible the second friend is doing this, at least in part, because she doens't like the MOH, and is some way sticking a jealous thorn in her because she isn't MOH?  If so, I'm not sure I'd be on board with that.  Also, if they don't get along, did friend #2 not enter the bach party picture until she offered to pay for one?

    I can't blame your MOH for not wanting to pay for weekend OOT by herself.  And unlike the other friend, she has bridal party expenses.  I like your idea of doing something closer to home, that is less expensive.  But I don't like that your other friend, thinks that's weird.  I think she is putting your MOH in a tough spot. 

    I would do whatever your MOH can afford, with her.  I f you want to also hang out with the other firend, so there are no hard feelings, great.  BUt I wouldn't go OOT with her.  It's likely to make your MOH feel bad.
