how much do you think is reasonable (or average) amount of $ to ask for each guy for bach party?
fh found his best man wants all the guys to chip in $100 each for JUST the dinner/drink part of it. Thats a bit much, don't you think?

It depends where they are going... If it's an upscale steak house, that's probably what they should expect to spend...

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
it just worries him that considering most of the guys don't have much $$ and thats only half the bach party it seems a bit much to him.

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
My FH's friend is getting married in May and all the guys are going down to Key West for 4 days. It's cosing each guy $1,000. CRAZY!!!
His other friend got married last April and they all went down to Myrtle Beach for 3 days. FH didn't go because he couldn't afford it then. Not that he can afford this trip now but I think he feels guilty b/c he didn't go last year. He booked Key West before we got engaged. We regret it now b/c we're scrambling trying to pay for this wedding.
So, long story short (too late) I don't think $100 is too much to ask.

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
it'll actually end up more like $250 -300. so thats not unreasonable?

That sounds about right for a bach party...

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
$250-$300 may be a little much! Do they HAVE to go out to eat? Can they just go out? Or can they go to a less expensive restaurant?
I was in my BF's wedding in July and I spent around $200 for the bachlorette party. It was kind of tough because I was laying out so much for the wedding that $200 on top of it strapped me a little.
??? Hope that helped....

I'd say $250-$300 is somewhat on the high end, but not unheard of. I know I spent approx. $300 at my best friend's bachelorette party...
Apparently some people are complaining about the cost of FH's bach party and its only costing $75!!!!!

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
it depends what your doing... for $100 dinner/drink they could be at mortons...
Depends on where they go, if they drink, (like I know that when we go out and split a check when others are drinking its not fair, cause I don't drink) and if they want to. Really I think everyonen should be allowed to give what they can afford.
For my sisters, I gave more than my other sister did b/c she couldn't afford as much.

I was just going to say- good thing none of your FH's are friends with mine or his friends. $100 is like pennys for their bach. parties. Fh is going in 2 weeks to Miami for the music conferance and then off the the keys for a few days. One friend's bach. party was to Mardi Gra! Another to Vegas, etc, etc. I am not exaclty sure how much they paid but i knwo it is way more than $100!!!
They all seem to want to top the others!!

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
When did bach parties get so crazy? Do you girls go away?? I've heard of girls going to the bahamas for a few days but that is unlikely for me. UNLESS, there are already 2 of my friends engaged and getting married next year. 2 more could be soon. If 4 of us are getting married at the same time it might work out cheaper to go on one trip instead of 4 different bach parties.
That would be fun!!

Me and the girls are going to Vegas- but i am paying my own way. Also, my friend is getting married the week before me -so its a joint party!
I never heard of going to such extremes like that before I watched Trista and Ryans wedding, but if you can all afford it go for it, its a once in a lifetime chance.

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
I think it's a lof of money, but not for a bachelor party. My FH and his friends are going to Vegas for 4 days and my friends and I are planning on going to either Cancun or DR. We figured that a 'city' bachelorette party would wind up being $250-300 for one night so we would rather go away for a few days for only a couple hundred more. We're going to go somewhere all-inclusive and keep it around $500-600. I guess it's not such a big deal for us because we go on 'girls-only' trips every couple of months, so my BP is just another excuse to go away!

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
for my bach party id be more than happy to just take a limo to the city and go to a nice club. i've been begging to go to Culture CLub or some other 80's club !! I'm not big on strippers even though thats whats probably being planned.

Re: FH wants to know... (bach party related)
My Fh's friend had 3 bachelor parties - back when the groom had $$ - Vegas , Florida and NY... Now they are stressing about going to Vegas for 1 party!! It is all relative to what they are dong & how much $$ they want to spend...
