Bachelorette party - Vegas
Hi girls, I know this has been posted before, but I am planning a Vegas Bachelorette party for a friend....its almost more stressful than planning my wedding 
Anyway, for anyone that has also gone on a Bachelorette party in vegas, how did you work paying for the bride? Did you split and pay her hotel room? Did you pay for her dinners? cabs? drinks?
I was at another Bachelorette party in Vegas that was a nightmare --- everyone was so cheap with the bachelorette because they had paid for their airfare (even though we were staying at a time share) -- anyways no one paid for her ---- i want to make sure this doesn't happen again with my closer friend.....
Any tips would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Ashley
Re: Bachelorette party - Vegas
Actually, I've never been to a Vegas bach party in which the WP could afford to pay for their share plus absorb a portion of the bride's share. Usually, if the bride really wants Vegas, she's got to be willing to pay for at least her flight and maybe even part of her hotel room. I would probably have a problem with covering the bride's airfare too.
I would think that the fairest way to do it would be to add any expenses that are finalized together, plus what you expect to pay in food, drinks and entertainment. Divide the number equally between everyone and make sure that it is something everyone can afford on top of their own expenses. If you have money left over than you can give out refunds.
yeah the bride paid for her airfare. I am proposing that each girl will pay about
$30/40 for the girl's hotel room + $30/40 on her drinks plus a gift for the lingerie shower....
WHen I think that people shelled out at least $50-80 for my bachelorette party, the least I think I can do is spend just as much as she spent on me. Though with the added cost of my flight and hotel and expenses.....
