The future bride was hit after she asked her bridesmaids to pay for a separate “health holiday” instead of a chicken party, because spending time with them is “too stressful”
- A future bride has been accused of wanting to have a solo bachelorette party
- The woman wants her friends who have children to pay for her spa weekend
- She says it will be less stressful than organizing time with her friends
A future bride was declared “greedy” after she asked her bridal party to pay for a luxury independent getaway instead of hosting a hen.
The young woman imagined a pampering weekend before heading down the aisle and decided it would be more comfortable if her friends didn’t come.
So she instead asked them to “give” the amount they would spend on flights and accommodation so she could afford to back off.
The future bride was named greedy after she decided she wanted her friends to pay for a separate health vacation instead of a bachelorette party
“I just have girls who live everywhere, have children, I feel it will be easier and less stressful,” she said.
She then decided to ask online if her proposal was in fact rude after seemingly “falling like a lead balloon”.
“Is it so weird that I want to go to a maiden shelter with me?” She asked.
She fell silent after being quickly attacked by strangers who described her as greedy, controlling and selfish.
“This woman’s audacity is astounding, retreat would be costly,” one woman said.

“I would be quite annoyed if my girlfriend told me she didn’t want my company, but she would take my money and make a good living,” said another.
“If this bride has a typical group of friends, then she wants too much. That would be about $ 300 for six or eight people – it’s an expensive spa, “said one woman.
However, some people were torn, noting that “independent bachelorette weekend” is not the problem – her friends’ expectation to pay for it was.
“Contribute to the price of what flights they would be?” Really? How sophisticated is this damn spa? ”One woman asked.
“It’s perfectly fine not to want a party, I hate going to these things anyway, but I also don’t want to just give you my money,” said another.
Others have revealed that they have made such decisions and do not regret the decision.
“I asked friends for money instead of taking a baby shower so I could go to a fancy massage spa,” said one woman.
The woman posted her thoughts online, but was quickly spotted by strangers
And a few people said the treatments were coming together – and a weekend could cost more than most people are willing to think.
“She can easily spend a few thousand dollars, I don’t think she’s unreasonable with the budget, but she shouldn’t want others to finance it.”
Others said the point of a bachelorette party was to spend time with friends – making the future bride’s plan “incomprehensible.”
Others said the culture around money and chicken parties was “out of control.”
“It used to be a bar for a big night out – now people expect whole weekends away or like this lady for people to pay for a private holiday.”
And people agreed, noting that coupons are “thrown for Instagram.”
