What are you doing for your Bach Party? (and how much $$$)

I've seen so many fun bach party ideas posted on here but I'm really curious about cost! We're planning to do AC (current plan is to take the bus down Sat AM, stay Sat night at the Tropicana, and then come back Sun night -- dinner at Carmines, the rest TBA and it should be around $200pp including meals)

If you know (and feel comfortable) please post what you are doing/have done for yours or any other bach parties you have been to, and the cost!

We originally considered the hamptons but ruled it out because of price, and even Mohegan Sun was more expensive! We also considered NYC but it didnt seem to be much cheaper (we wanted to spend the night somewhere)

I think we're pretty set on AC, but I'm really curious to see what these other fun things are costing!

My girls spent around $200 (i'm estimating b/c I hate to know how much people spend on me). We met up at my OOT BM's hotel room and they surprised me with a limo into the city. We had dinner, drinks and karaoke at Spotlight Live in Times Square. Then went to a private studio in Chelsea for a (drunken) pole dancing class, and ended at Village Underground for more (drunken) dancing and drinks. Then the limo took us all back to the hotel where some crashed....Good times...lol

my girls got a limo for the evening and we went bar hopping around the city. I think they spent $150 for the limo and dinner each. Then they spent $$ on drinks. So it probably ended up being $200 each.

This is what I think mine will cost. I am 98% sure we are going on a cruise to nowhere - norwegian cruise lines. Depending on how many people go (3rd and 4th person in each room is 1/2 off basically) it should be 150-180pp and that includes three meals and any admission to clubs, bars, comedy shows, etc that they have. Only thing extra is drinks, and of course shopping and gambling.

I think $200-250 is an acceptable amount to spend on a b-party. Any more than that and I usually say no, because I still have the shower gift to buy and the wedding gift to give, and if I am in the wedding party, there's the dress, shoes, hair and makeup most likely, and other expenses....

do you have the website for this cruise to nowhere?

www.ncl.com is the norwegian website! You should call though to get details - that is how I found out that the 3rd and 4th people in each room get discounted, and when you average it out, it's much cheaper than the advertised price ($179 plus taxes and such = $227)

thanks, but i just went there and they start in september, and we picked a date in aug to do something thinking september would be too busy for me, but it sounds awesome, thanks for the info and have fun!!!

We are going to South Beach leaving Friday the 20th in the afternoon and returning Sunday the 22nd in the evening. We are staying in a hotel right on Ocean Dr. (we have 2 rooms) 5 people
Airfare, shuttle and hotel came to a little less than $500.

I am pretty sure that we are doing the same thing- that would be hillarious if we ended up on the same cruise!

I am thinking about Sept 20, 27 or Oct 4, but I know I need to act fast because the rooms are booking up. I hope my girls can decide quickly - I am going to email them about it today I think!
