Especially since the bride never calls me.

not for the party, but if it's like a spa day or something like that, yes.
and you still need to tip! and if it's like a girls night out, buy the lady a drink!

I'm married, and most of my friends have been getting married over the past few years. First, you NEVER buy a gift for a bachlorette party, unless you are giving the bride something like sexy lingerie or toys or something funny like that, but just a gag gift type of thing. (You do buy a gift for the bridal shower and the wedding.) For my bachlorette party, we rented a limousine and went wine tasting, and we did ask everyone to split the cost of the limo rental. However, that was clearly on the invitation so that people knew. If this party is out at the bars, buy the bride a few drinks. Otherwise, you have no obligation to pay for the party.

NO you do not! The bachlorette party is normally thrown by the MAID OF HONOR and the mother of the bride as well as any sisters! Noone else is responsible at all! I wouldnt even feel guilty about it if I were you! If they ask you- they are the ones who are wrong not you!!

Yes.
As a rule, if you are invited to the Bachelorette party, be prepared to pay even if you aren't involved in any other aspect of the wedding, or the bride's life. You will be glad you went, because you won't feel so left out at the wedding.....

Proper ettiquette: If you were invited and you go, you pay for yourself and split the cost of the Bride's night (maybe a bar tab, part of dinner, if you're going to vegas or somewhere help with airfare). Of course, this is only if the bridal party is not paying everything for the bride already

No, typically people in the wedding party are expected to chip in for a gift, I would just give the brdie a separate gift at the wedding

I f you are attendign the bachelorette and are a close friend, it may be expected. If you are not going you shouldn't have to. the custom is for the bridal party to through it, but things don't necesarily go that way anymore. Since the bride never calls you, I really wouldn't worry abou it then.

No, you don't have to chip in, unless whoever's hosting the bachelorette party asks you to (which they probably won't). Usually the bridesmaids host and pay for the bachelorette party; since you're not in the wedding party, you don't need to worry about anything except having fun!

I would say that you would not have to chip in, unless, it is a place where a cover charge is involved. You should pay our own cover and let the wedding party cover the other expenses.

You would have to give a bit more info here. If you are not organizing the party and were not asked to chip in, then I would say you don't have to.

If you were invited to the party and accepted the invitation you should chip in a little bit.
