traditionally, the bridesmaids and MOH throw a bachelorette party for the bride. brides should be conscious of budget constraints on the wedding party, though. if the bride is asking for something fancy, be honest about what you and the other bridesmaids are able to do. either she'll chip in or she'll change her expectations. you shouldn't have to pay for everything. i've been to bachelorette parties where we've all pitched in (for transportation, etc.).
you should feel comfortable enough to talk to the bride about budgets and stuff, though.

You and the guests pay for the party. Bachelorette parties can cost you and the guests between $10 and $200 depending on your activities. The cost of the party will cover the bride's fees for the evening, any decorations, and other necessities (whether that is a stripper or a 4 foot tall picture of the bride is pigtails).
As the maid of honor, you and other attendants should make a budget and execute it with precision or you will be stuck picking up the financial slack.
(This information is also applicable for the Bridal Shower)

The bride shouldn't pay a dime at her bachelorette party. Granted, I think this came before these get-togethers turned into expensive, out of control weekends, but I digress.
All of the bachelorette parties I've been to have asked each attendee to pay for her own expenses plus a portion of the bride's. If you do this, make sure you have a good idea how much the party will cost to save everyone any embarrassment - some people don't have a couple hundred dollars extra to spend.

Traditionally, the responsibility of planning and paying for the bachelorette party falls on the maid of honor. If you have decided to be her maid of honor, then you are expected to pay for it, not anyone else. Perhaps you can get the other bridesmaids to chip in.

Yes you and the rest of the bride's bridal party should collaborate with the planning and expenses. That way its not too much on you or on anyone else. You should be the one making sure all the plans are in place and that everyone knows and understands what they are responsible for.

from what I know custom is that the bride does not pay for her bachelorette party, but I may be wrong. just ask the bridesmaids and any other guests to pitch in. you can't be expected to pay for everything.

Yes, if you're the one that's planning it, you're the one that needs to pay. Although, you can gather the rest of the bridesmaids, and have them help pay, since it is part of their responsibility when they agreed to be a bridesmaid. The Bride already have to pay for everything else, it's your job to help her relax, and give her a party she deserves. Hope this helped.

The bride basically doesn't have to pay for anything unless she volunteers it. If she selected you to plan her batchelorette party, she selected you to handle EVERYTHING that goes with it, including paying for it. I was kind of in the same situation with my best friend until her fiance' called the wedding off.
