reasonable price for a bachelorette party

I have been in.several weddings as a kid and young adult but non where I was old enough to attend the bachelorette party! My matron of honor got married in Florida and since we all traveled there the week if the wedding we just went to a restaurant/bar that had a lashes night and did dinner and bar.
I don't know what is too much to ask for. I don't want to sound like a bridzilla aski.gto do something that may cost everyone too much.
On average shady would you say it's a normal cost for a bachelorette party?? How much is too much??

reasonable price for a bachelorette party

I've been in 2 wedding parties where I was part of the planning and was invited to 1 where I wasn't in the bridal party but went to the bachelorette festivities. For what we planned, we ended up probably having each girl lay out around $100. Then in both cases we knew there would be more spending money needed (drinks, food, etc) and figured at that point it's up to them to budget themselves. In the end I probably spent $150 as a guest at each one of these? Nothing was ever more than a ONE night overnight (and when we did do that, we put 5 girls in a room in AC to keep the cost down). I personally don't like when things turn into 'weekend trips' and whatnot..that gets a little pricey..

reasonable price for a bachelorette party

I wanted to rent a kofc or vfw hall then get the dj chef who I found out is$100 pp for a 2 course meal. Entree and dessert. That gets u, dj, bar, and food. But I.also want a stripper and my mom thinks we need more food. So that will probably bring it up top $120 $130 a person. Then my moh.wants to end the night with an old school slumber party at her place. Which will cost them more money!! I guess if I had to choose I would x the stripper....

reasonable price for a bachelorette party

Ive been to a few bachelorette parties. One where I was in the wedding. We rented a house on the jersey shore for the weekend. Each girl put in $120 for the house for the weekend and some food, and gas for the driver. Since there as a kitchen we ate breakfast/lunch there. When we went out on two of the nights we paid for ourselves for dinner and alcohol. We also paid for the bride. But we also drank at the house beforehand and after. Overall I probably spent around $275 for the weekend. The bride paid for us to go on Wave runners as a thank-you.

The other bachelorette parties I've been to are the typical bus/limo and night in the city. For those, we paid up front for the bus/food. One of them we went out to eat beforehand, went to a male review show and then a club. The other we met at the brides mother's house where there was dinner and a stripper and then went out in the city. Each of those I probably paid around $200 total, including the alcohol that I bought night-of. It all depended on how much alcohol you bought.

I'd say around $150 is typical.
