These days when brides and grooms request that their bachelor partys be crazy expensive weekends is it still expected that the bridesmaids and groomsmen are responsibile to split the cost of the brides or grooms fare.?? The bride wants a bachelorette party that will cost us 700$ each just for the weekend. And no Bridezilla doesn't want to hear that money is tight. She wants what she wants. Is this excesive or am I being cheap

If you can't afford it and she knows that, then it is excessive. If you can afford it, and are willing to spend it then it isn't.
In your situation, she is asking too much. Just throw her what you can afford, if she doesn't like it, then that is her problem. If she really wants to do her original plan, then maybe she should contribute to half of the cost.

That is expensive. The Maid of Honor is supposed to set up everything, so the bride shouldn't be dictating anything.
For my bachelor party we did a week in Cancun that was $1400 each and a weekend in Vegas that was about $800 each, but the dudes that came were fairly high rollers etc. I paid for my own Cancun trip, and my Vegas room was comped, so it didn't put any burden on the guys throwing the parties, other than their own burden of costs, and they could split it up a lot.

$700 total may be reasonable (I'm not sure, I have never attended or been part of a bachelortte party in any way) but $700 each seems very excessive to me.... I don't think you're being cheap, I think the bride to be is being greedy and expecting too much of her bridesmaids.

It relies upon on what you would be doing, and what kind of economic concern the others and your self are in. If this is a team of widely used specialists, you're able to do slightly extra beneficial than in case you have in simple terms at present graduated college. For my chum's bachelorette social gathering, all of us met at a cafe and chop up the bill for pizza and beverages (no person had extra beneficial than one), and then went bowling (we paid for our very own video games, and the maid of honor paid for the bride's). and then, through fact we've been all adverse college graduates, we went on a scavenger hunt in a 24 hour shop.

Yea... that's a bit excessive, she should not expect you to pay for that...I'm sure you have costs of your own... being in a wedding is expensive enough... she doesn't have the right to put that on you like that... besides aren't the bridesmaids suppose to plan the bachelorette party and make all the decisions.. so she's throwing it for herself??? that is so pathetic !!!!

Why in the world do some people think that when they get married, their friends and family don't have any bills or expenses or lives of their own?
Ack!!
And when do people get to dictate the parameters of a party when it's being given in their honor, not BY THEM? Tacky tacky tacky and selfish.
You are not being cheap; on the contrary, you are being too nice!
If she is being this way now, God help her future husband.
Sorry, I know this didn't help you at all, but your friend really ticked me off with her Queen of the World demands.

This is excessive. I would say sorry, I can't afford that, and just not go.
