00:00I actually think it's the fault of the bride and groom.
00:03They're very inconsiderate.
00:06Bachelorette parties are insanely expensive.
00:08And between travel, hotels, and bridesmaid costs,
00:11I can't afford it all.
00:12How do I set boundaries without guilt or feeling left out?
00:16You know how I feel on this, Kim.
00:17Grandma Gail hates the idea of a bachelorette,
00:21of a destination wedding, of all of it.
00:23Well, I think it's not fair.
00:24I really believe that nobody can afford these.
00:28Their airfare, their hotels, unless they're picking up the tab,
00:32which none of them do, it's just too expensive.
00:34You're going to have to say, listen, I budgeted a wonderful wedding gift to give you,
00:38and I dined to go to the wedding, and that's all I can do.
00:42I can't go to the bachelorette party.
00:44I can't go to the shower.
00:45I can't, you know, it's just too much.
00:47I actually think it's the fault of the bride and groom.
00:50They're very inconsiderate.
00:51What a lot of my friends do is they say,
00:53this is how much upfront the bachelorette party is going to be.
00:57You will not have to pay a dime outside of this.
00:59If for some reason we do things that go outside of this and become more expensive,
01:04like that is a cost that the bride is taking on.
01:07But this is what you can expect to pay.
01:09And then people can make up in their minds whether they want to do that or not.
01:13People get upset they feel you're not being a good friend
01:15by not attending all these things, and that's wrong.
01:19I think you just have to be cognizant about people's situations and be understanding.
01:24Because everything is so expensive in the days today.
01:26So you just, you know, be fair.
01:28Right.
