We can all agree that this is totally over the top and ridiculous, OP, [b]but in my opinion there's only a small chance of your getting your money back... unless other guests want to pull out too! Perhaps you can reach out to them and see what they think.[/b]

Were I you, I'd explain that I had no idea it was going to be so expensive, request a refund, and if they refuse, consider it an expensive lesson in knowing who your friends are, and never paying until you're sure you know what you're doing.

Do not do this ! Extremely inappropriate and you would be creating drama with your cousin. Simply back out. Tell her you would love to go, but unfortunately, it just isn't in your budget as it is much more costly than anticipated. Wish her a fantastic time. If she offers you the $800 or a portion back accept. Otherwise, charge it to the game and learn a lesson about putting down money before knowing the full cost.[/quote]

Of course she can do this. She could present it as a personal budget issue, and wanting to find out if others had the same problem, because if they have, the bride would probably prefer to still have a bachelor party, at a less expensive place, rather than have multiple guests back out and be left with a hugely expensive location for the remainder of the guests.

If OP knows the other guests well enough, it's actually the best solution, because it allows more people to brainstorm a solution that works for everyone.
