Rant about the bachelorette party I threw for my best friend..

I’m the maid of honor in my best friends wedding next weekend. The weekend before last, we had our bachelorette party. Our other two closest friends helped me plan and since I’m not in the greatest financial situation, they agreed to split the other half of the costs. So I was supposed to pay 50%, then they each would pay 25%.

I was supposed to pay about $200, I had $250 saved, to use the extra $50 for drinks and stuff while bar hopping. The two friends both stiffed me and gave me zero warning. I had to pay the whole ~$400 for a hotel suite and dinner. On top of that, the hotel put an extra $100 hold on my card, which left me with literally like $10 in my bank account after the dinner. I lied and said I wasn’t hungry at dinner to save money. We went to 3 different bars, I bought one drink at the second bar, and a shot for the bride. That was all I could afford. Thank god they all give the bride and MOH free cover. The bride kept asking why I wasn’t drinking, I lied my way through it because I didn’t want any conflict during the party.

We went back to the hotel and drank more there, I had already bought alcohol and snacks for the hotel beforehand so at least I could have stuff there. I was so pissed the whole night. The other friends that magically couldn’t pay, had no problems buying several drinks and shots, and paying cover at all the bars.

I’m just so irritated I had to let it out! I haven’t spoken to the other ‘friends’ since. Now I’m struggling to figure out how to afford the wedding gift I planned because I’m still recovering from having to pay all that extra money...I know I should’ve bought it awhile back but I’m always last minute with gifts
