bachelorette party in Vegas?

xoxbabyloverxox · February 2011

Hi guys... I have a dilemma and was wondering what you would do.

im one of the bridesmaid for my friends wedding in august. well the maid of honor is planning on throwing the bachelorette party in Vegas in July. By then I will be around 26-28wks depending on what weekend we end up going. my husband prefers that i don't go but im starting to feel guilty about not going since she went to mine which was out of town.

i can go and support her... go to dinner with them and spa if they do decide to do that but i know there will be lots of drinking and clubbing plus 100degree in july just doesn't sound fun.

so would you still go and be a good bridesmaid or sit this one out? not really sure how to tell her the news since she doesn't know we are pregnant yet.

thanks!

When are they booking the trip?

I would maybe just talk to her, get a feel for if she'd be upset.

In my opinion, it doesnt matter that she went to your out of town bachelorette party. She wasn't pregnant I am assuming. If you guys were going out of town any where BUT Vegas it may be a different story, but I personally would never expect my bridesmaid who is 26wks preggo to pay for a trip to Vegas that she wont even get to enjoy. It will be way too hot for you, what if they will potentially wanna hit up those fun pool parties which I would never feel comfortable in a bathing suit that far along at one of those pool parties- they are crazy wild fun. They will be going clubbing and drinking alot. Are you supposed to pay all that money to sit in your hotel room while they sleep the day away from being hungover? Hopefully she's a good friend and wont mind. Good luck!

Where do you live? Is it a far trip to Vegas? If you have to go a long way I think I'd sit this one out. Maybe when they get back you can take her out to a nice dinner or something. But if you live close to Vegas the idea of just doing dinner or spa with them would work. I think it just depends on how far away it is??? GL!

I would not go. Your friend will surely understand. You will be uncomfortably pregnant, and you are right- the heat in Vegas in July is absolutely horrid. I was there last summer and I thought I was going to die, and I wasn't even pregnant.

I think this is one wedding event you should have no qualms about bowing out of.

Just from my experience, I'd be so misrable in Las Vegas anytime in the summer then you add pregnancy and I'd probably want to shoot myself.

I would talk to her. If you're in her wedding I'm sure she's a decent enough friend. I also think that good friends *should* understand these sorts of things. I couldn't attend a lifelong friends wedding due to me being pregnant and sick. I felt so bad, but all I could imagine was throwing up all over the buffet tables. I explained the situation to her and we did something special to celebration her marriage. Perhaps you and your friend can do the same? Vegas IMO is pushing it.

Hmmm...that's a toughie. It would depend on how long they are going and how far it would be for you. I actually felt great at that point and my H and I were planning on going to Florida (Disney World - never happened, though, but not due to preg.) in the dead of summer. I've been to Vegas in August and while it was hot, we weren't really outside much. I would talk to your friend and tell her your situation. Find out what kind of things they are planning. You may enjoy some R&R by the pool and some time at the spa (just keep in mind that they advise you against doing things like hot tubs, sauna, steamroom, etc). I woudl have to look at what activities I could be involved in, how much it would cost and if it would even be worth it to go.

I have been to Vegas many times, never preggers, but mind you I dont drink. There is a tone of shopping, great resturants, shows, and spas. I would look at it as a time to relax and have some YOU time before the baby comes. Imagine sitting by the pool sun bathing your beautiful belly. If you don't go I will

I would go. You can make sure you spend most of your time indoors plus there are a ton of things to do. You can just skip out on the clubbing and drinking.

I have a wedding to be in in May and the bachelorette party will be in April and by then I will be 25 weeks pregnant. They are going to go to a place you stay at all day and it's just walking around and going to bars all day long. I explained to her that I wouldn't feel comfortable going and spending all of that money but I would go if she really wanted me to. She said it was fine and no hard feelings, in fact she expected that I wouldn't be going. We are going to plan a fun night of just watching girlie movies and eating ice cream as our own celebration. I am sure that your friend will understand too!

Thanks for all the help guys. It makes me not feel so bad that I wasn't the only one thinking of sitting this one out if the same issues occurs with yall.

When i looked at the prices for the flight and hotel alone it would cost me about $400-600pp depending on what hotel they stay in. I'm thinking they will stay at a nice hotel on the strip to cut down prices on cab so looking close to $500.

Definitely not cheap to just go to dinner and roam by myself around the strip. I was thinking of just using the money for a spa day for me and her as a present for her bachelorette party. I could probably use a whole day of pampering by then.
