I’m planning a bachelorette trip as the bride’s MoH. I haven’t been to a ton of bach trips myself, so am looking for input on some $ questions. For context, this will be a destination trip (although domestic) & the wedding is a destination wedding abroad.

- What is a reasonable per person cost for decor? We are just using Etsy, Amazon and party supplies, no professional decorator.
- What is a reasonable per person cost for favors/accessories (or should MoH cover these out of pocket)?

That’s a ridiculous ask

like

Charge for food, lodging, alcohol, and activities. Decor (among many other things) usual fall on the MOH. I think we charged people $750 each for the whole weekend, but it was in Jackson hole which is pricier. Hope this helps!

Have a vote amoungst the ladies. For my friend’s, we requested 20-30 bucks per person for decor a couple favors that we’ll wear during the weekend. Amazon has hella atuff for cheap.

The MOH should not soley be responsible for that cost. Thats unfair

like

i’ve never been asked to contribute to decor or favors on a bachelorette, usually the MOH and maybe one or two other of the closest friends or family handle it

Yeah I don't think that decor should be something that the whole group pays for. I think food, accommodations, and a combined gift is pretty standard. But if you're going above and beyond with decorating the place (which seems kind of unnecessary to me), I wouldn't make everyone pitch in for that. Destination bachelorette and wedding is going to get expensive for everyone!

agreed. i don’t think decor is necessary it’s just a nice extra thing. everyone chips in to cover one meal or activity or something for the bride and that should be enough. the travel and trip itself shouldn’t have more tacked on. i’d rather not get a gift at a bach then have to pay for it myself lol

You should know your budget by the items you are planning to buy. Then you can gauge if you want to pay out of pocket or have guest pay. Some things you want to consider is how many tables will be at the reception?,… What kind of flower/vase decoration will be suitable for wedding…………………lights, candles, goodie bags(zip lock, candy, picture frame)
