[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s shitty to back out at this point. Just say you’re not contributing to XYZ. Though for transportation I mean, how did you *think* you were going to drink and also be transported? [/quote]

Did you *think* about how they could use Ubers and not a private driver for $590 per person aka 6k (10 people attending) for 4 days? Don’t be a pretentious imbecile. [/quote]

And nothing is stopping OP from replying all and suggesting that as an alternative- there may be others who are similarly concerned with escalating costs who would appreciate it. That being said, having once gone that route, ubers can be extremely difficult to get in that area and very pricy even in non-Covid times. With current Covid restrictions they will need 4 ubers for each excursion. It’s questionable that they will be able to even find sufficient availability without hour+ waits for each leg and its questionable that it will come out much cheaper.[/quote]

No matter what you say it’s still much cheaper than 6k.[/quote]

I think there's probably a miscommunication on the transport. They ought to be able to get a party bus for 600/night for everyone, not per person.  So OP is looking at probably around $200 for transport assuming they go out 3 nights.  [/quote]

No, I read it correctly….

We’re covering the transport for the bride as well….[/quote]

OP just email that you are not available.  It is a shame you sent the $800 but whatever your income this whole thing is ridiculous and eats up 2 or 3 days vacation.  That is totally intrusive.  My DD has been invited to some ludicrous bachelorettes.  1 had about 15 and only 4 showed up.  Another similar in scope and not held yet but dubious attendance numbers.

Where is the wedding and where does the cousin live?  I saw the airport pick up so for all I know that bridezilla might live in Ohio.  If the 800 was a big deal for you and the bridezilla was my niece I'd reimburse you a portion but the normal niece wedding gift $ would have a major reduction.

Where's the wedding?  [/quote]

We all live in the DMV and the wedding is in Puerto Rico…hotel is $365 per night[/quote]
