What would you do?

About a month ago I was planning my own bachelorette party - no one's fault, it just didn't seem to be getting done so I started researching and e-mailing around to see who can join. When I told my mom I was doing this, she ripped into me for having to control everything and not letting other people do their part (my BP). So, I asked my MOH and one of my BMs to takeover. I picked the place and gave them a list. Some of the girls that want to join inquired about the cost so I figured out what rooms would be (going away for one night).
Now, last night I discovered no one bothered to hold the rooms so the price has gone from $300 to $500 a night!! I don't want my friends have to put out this kind of $$ but I'm so frustrated b/c I really put a lot of work into finding a place I'd enjoy.
Plus, the bachelorette party has to be the weekend before the wedding (2 of my BMs live abroad). So, I don't want my friends to be that financially strained in the course of one week.
What do you think I should do? Find another place that's cheaper or go with what I want and risk putting people out financially?

I think that kind of money is a lot to ask of people that are already shelling out $$ for your shower, BM dresses and wedding gifts. If people are travelling from far away, there are costs to be incurred there too.

Let them plan something and surprise you. I'm sure they will pick something fun and within a reasonable price range.

JMHO. Have fun whatever you decide.
