If you knew.... (W/ POLL)

Re: If you knew.... (W/ POLL)
Well I guess it depends on what you want. If you want something more expensive and folks don't have the money then...I don't know. But if it is more that you just want to do something different than what you do ALL THE TIME then there is nothing wrong with asking your MOH about it. Just mention it in time for them to make the necessary changes.

Re: If you knew.... (W/ POLL)
I don't know, I didn't have a bach. party because my MOH was spending a lot of $ traveling to the wedding, and with everything else. I think the bridal party is expected to spend too much money IMO, when many of us are at an age when we aren't loaded yet. I think if they don't have the $ and are having a shower for you, it is a lot to also ask them to have an elaborate bach. party with limos and everything. If you would just rather drive one town over and do without limos, that is probably the same cost to them...

i would let them know how you feel. its your night and you're not going to want to go out on the same night. that was my original plan too and something came up luckily that it didn't go that way but i'm thankful that i didn't have to cram it all in..talk to them and see if they would be willing to do something else.

I'd talk to them and try to understand why that's what they planned. If they're apprehensive about going to the city or the hamptons, see what you can do to make it easier for them (train schedules, taxis, etc.).
good luck and be happy that your BMs are thinking of you and are willing to celebrate with you!

Honestly, I would just drop small little hints to a BM who you are extremely close with. I'm sure there must be reasons as to why they made these plans....I think BM's already spend a ton of $$ and work on us and I wouldn't straight out say something because they might take it the wrong way as you being ungrateful or something. I would drop small hints to a BM and if plans don't change then I would just deal with it and suck it up....JMO.
Keep us posted on how it turns out!!! Good luck!!!

I would like to do something a little special and different for my one & only batch party.
I think this is what you need to tell your BMs, not in a mean or complaining way, just the way you wrote it here...

I was thinking about this some more and agreed with one of the ladies about BMs spending so much. I want to go the city for the bach party and so I am going to pay for a limo that way everyone has a great time. I just don't want people to be stressed out because they feel like they have to spend so much money to make me happy.

No...i don't think i would say something...
Unless it is something like going to LV or AC...
Otherwise...i would let them plan as they like

I would take control of the plans myself and pay for what I wanted that they couldn't afford. That's what I did for my bachelorette party.
I paid for the limo and I asked the girls how much they felt comfortable spending, asked them to contribute only that much and I covered the rest. Some of them gave more because they knew the night was costing alot more than they were chipping in for but I didn't ask them to.
I ended up spending around $600 and they spent about $100 - $150 each.

They r having the shower in town & plan on bar hopping around the town after the shower.
There's no cover charges & we wouldn't need a limo.
What I would like to do is go somewhere like the city, or Hamptons, even a different town.
It would be more expensive needing limo & maybe cover charges. But why would I want to run into all the people I didnt invite & the people I see every weekend @ my batch party? I certainly wouldnt were a veil. I'd feel like a jerk!
It's just lame because I'm always in town at these bars. I would like to do something a little special and different for my one & only batch party.
kara i agree..it wouldnt be too much to get like a 10-14 person limo..especially since sayville isnt really a big bar hopping town..plus all the little kids that hang out at half penny!!!!!!
