Pink Bachelorette Party I don't know how to feel....
   

Bachelorette Party
I don't know how to feel....


One of my bridesmaids is planning my bachelorette from Chicago (I'm in Arizona. She is planning a weekend in Vegas and what started out as (and stayed pretty much at until she asked for money) about 30 girls going is now quickly dwindling down to 10 or 11.

Really, I wouldn't have a problem with that and think it is much more doable, but it totally screws up what she had planned and I know she isfrustrated , as well as some of the girls going, but I don't know what to do... I feel awful that so many girls bailed, many had money issues and some just flaked (that's a whole other issue I don't want to rant about right now) but I am just sad. She put so much work into planning the weekend (which I don't really know much about other than when and where) but it just makes me mad/sad.

I am also a little mad because the ones not going want to have a local party since they can't go - I feel like that is so rude and such a slap in the face to my friend planning Vegas. At this point I just want to say screw Vegas, screw a bachelorette party and those who couldn't be bothered to go to the bachelorette in Vegas can just not go to the wedding (of course not including the girls with legitimate reasons - which really are quite a few).

I guess I don't really know how to feel. Part of me is really hurt that these girls all claim to be such good friends but can't be bothered with my bachelorette, part of me is just sad that people aren't as excited as I am to go to Vegas with the girls and part of me is really mad. Obviously I can't be mad at girls who simply can't afford it, or aresingle moms who can't leave their kids behind, but why say you will go in the first place then?

I guess there is no real reason to this post - just wanted to type it all out and clear my head...

Yeah, you cant be mad at money or mothers not being able to attend but it is crappy for people to say they will go then bail out.

Sometimes circumstances just change for people...they thought they would ave the money by now or could find a sitter...honestly I am amazed that you still have 10 people out of 30 going---that's great! That's enough girls to have a blast with. And why not have 2 bachelorettes? Have a gathering in town for everyone else! It's not a bad thing that they still want to celebrate with you, and it'd be twice the fun!

That sucks that so many plans had to change because of people bailing. Hope getting to vent about it made you feel a little better. Try not to let it stress you out, in the end, I'm sure it will be an amazing trip!
