Question

What would you do if you got an invitation in the mail to attend a bachelor/bachelorette party and the invite said all attendees are being asked to contribute $150 towards the night's events. The night's events include a party bus and a stop at a strip of bars.

Is this normal? I have not been to a wedding or bachelorette party in years!

I know if I were to receive something like this I would not contribute. The person sending invite/hosting this should be the responsible party not ask those being invited for $$. That sure is alot of $ to fork out let alone for a bus and going to bars. I don't think this is normal. I am assuming this is the first time you have received such invite since you are asking.

Holy smokes!!! Just the fact that you'd have to pay to go to their party...uh no. Add on the strip bars and you know that is NOT up my alley. I'd pass it up in a heartbeat!

I think if you are in the bridal party, you typically contribute. NOT just as a guest though. I would be ticked! Who would do this to you? It must have been one of Brian's friends. :-)

Brian is in the bridal party - he's the best man. And the festivities are in going to be held down in AZ. Ugh. A total waste of money in my opinion. I just wondered if anyone else thought that $150 was outrageous.

And its not a "strip bar" its a strip of bars. Still...

Well, seems to me since you know when it is and where you could just drive your own car and wish the bride well...since when do you have to be invited to go into a bar?

I don't think I would pay that much to go to a party. Seems a little strange to me.

ya, it's dangerous to use the words "strip" and "bar" in the same sentence. LOL. :)

and as far as normalcy goes... that's all relative. everyone seems to have a different tolerance for this kind of thing.

the real question is "is it worth it to you?" if yes... do it. if no, don't. :) that's my advice.

LOL guess I got a bit confused on that sentence with strip and bar in it. Oops. That's what happens with minimal sleep.
