No. Stop being such a materialistic, gold-digging whore.

No you shouldn't be offended you shouldn't expect your friends to put themselves in a financial bind for your party. If they can't afford it they can't afford it. If you still want a party consider paying for it yourself. Or go to a club with your friends and everyone pays their own way. Where we live this is very common girls get together for dinner and then hit the local clubs.
If there are specific party 'favors' you want then buy them yourself. I mean what party is complete without a penis straw?
There are clubs that cater to the bachelorette circuit. Here in AZ Martini Ranch has the band bring all the girls on stage to dance to Girls Just Want to Have Fun. I think the time spent with your friends is the most important part of the party anyway. If everyone pays for thier own food and drinks everyone will have a good time because they will only order what they can afford. No pressure on any one person. Just make sure everyone brings their camera!
If you are offended because she is financially unable to throw you a party then you aren't much of a friend in the first place.

No. In my opinion, you should have chosen something for your bachelorette party that could have been free or very inexpensive for your friends. I don't know what you have planned, or how much you expect your friends to shell out for your party, but you have no right to be offended if she can't afford it. At least she was honest with you. If you really want her there, find a way to make it work. Your party should be about having a fun night with friends, not dropping serious cash to hang out with you.

No you should not be offended, if anything you should embrace her for her honesty.
What are you doing that cost so much anyway? If your friend needs help to attend your party and if you really want her there, offer her some help.
Have a good bachelorette party!

no you hsould not be offended - a bachelorette is a nice thing to do for a bride but not a requirement. If you want to do something fun, and your girls can;t afford anything expensive - go for martinis and a movie pj party or something inexpensive like that:)

No I wouldn't be offended you should be honored that she trusted you enough to tell you the truth. That's a good friend. Think up something where everyone that going to be invited can be apart, go to the dollar store and buy cups, plates, etc. They have nice stuff if you go to the right one. As for the food have each person bring something. This way you can still have your party but the expense won't all be on one person. Congratulation !

The whole point of a bachelorette party is for the girls to get together to hang out and have fun. Money shouldn't be the whole focus. See if you can work the money issue out to accommodate all of your friends.

nah, it was probably really hard for her to tell you. Talk to everyone in the bride's party and see if you all can pitch in. It is expensive and it is not personal. Look up other ways to do one. You are looking for fun with your friends right? Well it does not need to be expensive. You want to celebrate walking into marriage. There is plenty of ways to do it. Instead of hiring a stripper or something like that. Have each of your bridesmaids strip for you. Now that is something none of you will ever forget and constantly laugh at forever. there is many ways to celebrate this. Just remember this is a celebration into something not a get out of my hair cus i have to i am getting married thing.

Everyone runs into financial difficulties at times. I don't think I would be offended if someone called me and honestly told me that they would love to come to my party but couldn't really afford to. I would hope that I would be sensitive to their financial situation. Wouldn't it make you feel bad if this person did attend and then had to go without some necessity of living just to be at your party??

Maybe they can't afford your DREAM bachelorette party, but they should be able to throw something nice together!! If that means that you're not having one at all, maybe you'd like a small get-together. Nothing at all seems like they don't think you value it. Communicate with them. It is YOUR bachelorette party after all!

No.Presumably she is already paying for a dress, shoes, travel, a gift, etc. I remember being part of a friends wedding party years ago having just split up with my ex. Money was really tight and I had to go into debt just to be part of the wedding. We just all ended up going out to some clubs and paid for ourselves. It was fun and all was not lost.
