I’ve decided to hold my sister’s bachelorette party at a hotel/casino. I’ve booked two large rooms, which will accommodate all of the guests overnight. I’m not sure what to do about food and drinks. We’ll be having games and gifts early in the night in the rooms, and then going to the bars and casino later. Do I need to provide a full dinner at some point? Or is it ok for me to just serve snacks during the games/gifts portion of the night? It is ok to have everyone buy their own drinks at the bar? I will be paying for the rooms, which will pretty much tap me out money-wise.
I’d love the idea of splitting the cost with the others in the bridal party, but the only members are the bridesmaids, who are both 16 and have no money, and the flower girl, who is 9. Otherwise, I’d love to hit them all up for a chip-in.
