| Probably they hoped to be able to save the money, then realized they weren't going to have enough. Don't be mad, be proud of them for not going into credit card debt.I would never have agreed to spend six months keeping a tight budget just to indulge somebody else's selfishness, but that's just me. |

| I think you may be confused, I think what you meant to say is that with less now going to Vegas and contributing towards the trip, you now have less, not more funds, in total for the trip budget.If all of this is largely about a concern about money, etc., you might want to consider cancelling your Vegas celebration.I do think that while it would have been considerate to give you greater notice of not being able to go, of the two bridesmaids that is, there could be extenuating circumstances or intimidation on your part that lent to the resulting delay. My advice: Be mad but keep mum about the matter; and resolve the trip issue in a way that works for you but does not jeopardize your respective friendships. |

| Finances are fickle. Even when you think youcan save and have plenty of time, things come up. You can't fault your friends for not having money. The fact that it raises your costs, does suck though. Maybe ask them again "Are you sure you can't make it? I would really like to have you there." |

| I would be totally bummed, too, but you can't be mad at them. Maybe they thought they could save up, and had other things come up where they needed money. It was rude of them to not tell you sooner, but you don't want to start something before your big day. I'm sure they'll know you're bummed. Maybe they will plan you another party at home. On a side note, I think it will be more fun going with your 1 girlfriend. 4 girls = 4 different places everyone wants to go. Don't forget to go to Sprinkles cupcakes! |

| I think you are being a bit greedy. You don't know what kind of financial issues may of happened for them not to save enough money for a weekend of partying. You should not expect your bridesmaids to go broke or put themselves in financial danger because you want to go to Vegas. I am sure there are plenty of towns near where you are that would be a fun place to party. |

| Whooaaa! I am not sure why everyone is attacking you for this question. Planning a wedding is very stressful and its hard when the people who are closest to you don't seem to be supporting you. If my bridemaids all agreed to do go somewhere and then backed out, I would be upset as well. It's not a matter of being a bridezilla, spoiled, or selfish. I think many of these responders would be furious if they booked a rental house for weekend and numerous other families agreed to go - and then backed out at the last minute. If your bridemaids didn't have a major change in situation, I think you have the right to be upset. HOWEVER, getting mad at them won't help anything and will just make you and them even more upset. I would ask them to set something up at home - a party they can afford- and then have a great time with your MOH. |
