Cost Planning and Budgeting

Typical Costs

6-Hour Bachelorette Package:

  • Gratuity (20%): $180-$204
  • Total: $1,080-$1,224
  • Per Person (6 people): $180-$204

Group Cost Sharing

Traditional Approach:

  • Bride doesn't pay, cost split among attendees
  • Example: 5 bridesmaids split $1,200 = $240 each

Everyone Shares Equally:

  • All 6 people split cost
  • Example: $1,200 ÷ 6 = $200 per person

Value Comparison

Limousine Service vs Alternatives:

  • Multiple Ubers/Taxis: $40-60 per trip x 4 trips = $160-240 per person (similar cost)
  • Designated Driver: Someone misses out on fun, parking fees, gas
  • Limousine: Everyone enjoys fully, safer, more fun, similar or better value
