It would cost $400 to fly in for the party and everyone else is within driving distance.

no, it is not necessary. you are invited to be a bridesmaid based on your relationship to the bride. it does not require you to attend the bachelorette pary. the bride should be spoken with regarding this dilemma. the bridesmaid should tell her the circumstances. anyone who cares enough to share her wedding with the bridesmaid as a key player will understand...NOW, on the other hand, if the bridesmaid is of means and ability to do so, she should make every effort to attend. it would seem inconsiderate if the bridesmaid were earning a 6 figure income, attending other pricey events and just didn't want to take the time and spend the money for the event...in the end, if the bridesmaid cannot afford to do this, there should be a clear understanding between the bride and the bridesmaid..no problems should arise.

No, not necessary at all! She should not feel obligated to fly out for the bachelorette party when she is already coming to the wedding. She should be sent an invite though, to seem included, and a thoughtful message, like "We'll miss you at the party, but can't wait to see you at the wedding!"

Absolutely not, and I truly hope the bride can understand that... if you want, why not send a little care package to be opened at the party? Maybe get some feather boas for some party hats or sill stuff like that....then you can feel a little more like you were a part of the celebration without the trouble of getting there.

No but feel free to celebrate the bachelorette party on your own in her honor.

No it is not necessary. They should take into account how far you are from everyone else and realize that you shouldn't have to come.

Nope. I hope the bride understands not everyone's life and finances can be put on hold for her wedding and related events.

No. Send a gift and a card with your apologies.
