[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would back out and I wouldn’t even eat the $800. They are being extremely inconsiderate by springing up expenses as if money grows on trees.

You should tell her that when you agreed to go to the bachelorette party you had no clue it was going to be in California, cost $800 plus airfare plus all the other expenses.[/quote]

Agree. They can easily cancel the Air BnB, look for a cheaper place, stay further away, fewer nights, etc. There are lots of options and giving an $800 gift doesn't have to be the only one here. Why wouldn't she be able to get her money back at this point? None of it is paid for.[/quote]

She should be able to get her money back, especially if it’s the air bnb and they’re all staying there. How many people are going OP?[/quote]

Many (probably the majority) of air bnb rentals have significant penalties for cancellations so it’s unlikely that they can just “easily” cancel the Airbnb and find an alternative…especially a month or less out in Napa valley.  I’m baffled by the people who think that OP should be able to just back out of something that she has not only already committed to but actually paid for because she has had a change of heart and expect the remaining participants to just eat the higher resulting cost.[/quote]

Why would they cancel? They would just pay the difference which according to OP is $100. If they can expect people to pay an extra $600 and not to mention private masseuses, they can pay the extra $100.[/quote]

It was a response to the pp who literally said they can easily just cancel the Airbnb and look for a cheaper place. Also presumably all 9 of the other attendees are not equally involved in the planning. There’s a good chance there are other participants who like op didn’t do due diligence in inquiring about the cost before committing to attending and already have similar concerns about the costs, who now are going to also have to pay even more if op backs out.
