For the first wedding, I spent $965 on the bachelorette party in Palm Springs and $916 on the wedding. The second bachelorette party was in Miami and I spent $1,425. That wedding was within driving distance, and my husband and I spent $522 on it.
Good planning and open conversations helped me avoid resentment and overspending. While it can be costly, it’s really fun and well worth it to go on these awesome trips with my friends.
I emphasize the importance of cost transparency and financial awareness in wedding planning. After spending over $10,000 on friends’ weddings since 2022, I’ve found that these conversations are critical to enjoying the experiences.
It's crazy to say that out loud - $10,000. That's almost half the cost of my own wedding. Despite the costs, it’s been a once-in-a-lifetime experience to bond with friends.
