Bachelor/Bachelorette


Do two people who live together, own a house together, and have two children together really need/deserve a bachelor and bachelorette weekend? I could understand nice dinners or evenings out with the guys or the girls, but a whole trashy weekend? Come on!

Thoughts?

Seems a bit 'too much', yes.

I can't figure out how these friends have the money to take their friends to Vegas (tho in this case MTV probably paid).

I'll never understand how a traditional night out with your friends has turned into an entire weekend of partying that requires flying to the destination. I had very few expenses for my best friends wedding compared to some, but even then, I probably spent around $1200 for Everything! Or maybe it's just on TV that people have these lavish Bachelorette parties.

And this was the same couple that was crying about the cost of the wedding venue and trying so hard to get a discount .

reply

tv people and people who are influenced by tv people. Whenever average income people try this crap on their average income friends, it doesn't go over well.

Just another plotline that MTV invented to cobble together an hour of airtime for a show that has played out. These girls are always getting new cars, new houses, taking trips, and they do not have real lives. At first, we saw the struggles of teen motherhood, but now, they are grown women, and they need to live real lives, without MTV money. I imagine it would not be easy for them.

Vegas isn't that expensive, and there were a lot of people there, therefor more people to split the cost of things. It's not like they're teenagers anymore with minimum wage jobs, they're adults with full time jobs, some of them with well paying jobs I'm sure. And it's not like any of their friends have kids either.

I went to Vegas for 5 nights and it cost me $500(that's flight + hotel) and that was Canadian, so flight to Vegas from the states would be cheaper, they likely only stayed for a couple days, and if they stayed during the week instead of the weekend, the hotel rooms are usually cheaper. It's not that hard to save money for a trip that you likely had planned months ahead of time. It's a fun trip to Vegas with your friends, why not?
So many party poopers on here, I tell yah.

I never really understood the concept to begin with. If you're getting married then you obviously haven't been single for an extended period of time. So why have this big thing when you're about to have a big party at your wedding? It's not like once your married you never get to hang out with your friends again. Going out partying with your friends is the same a week before the wedding as it would be a week after the wedding.

reply

No, no they do not.

From what we saw, that was the lamest weekend you could have in Vegas.

reply

Does it really matter if someone decides to have one or not? It's their wedding, so it's their choice.

Who cares? I mean by them having this weekend party, is it hurting you or effecting your life? So what if they have kids and live together, does that mean they shouldn't be able to have a Bachelor/Bachelorette party? Some people have a simple night out but other people do have weekend parties. Its not that uncommon.

This was really tame compared to most and it wasn't all that expensive. My husband and I went to his best friends bachelor weekend in vegas, stayed 3 nights/4 days on the strip and we went to bars, gambled and stuff and spent no more than $500 total for everything for the whole weekend. People think it's way more expensive than it is. If you go during off season and during the week, it's even cheaper than that.

reply

Good to know. I've never been there but would like to check it out just out of curiosity one of these days. Looks like an interesting place to visit for a weekend.

It's extremely trashy of Maci, but she was never the epitome of high class.
