Should we be paying for both brides?

Friend getting married next year. Both women. They want a joint hen do abroad. They have asked us not to cover their costs because there are two of them. Maid of Honour wants us to pay anyway. Everyone else agrees. AIBU to think it’s a bit much? It’s an extra £100.

If it matters, there are 20 of us going and it’s for three nights in Greece.

How much is it costing you as is? £50 extra per bride doesnt seem alot!

£1000.

Awwww if you can possibly afford it, it's lovely to cover the brides.

Congrats to them and hope you have a great time in Greece x

I think it would be nice to do it if you can afford it. If you think about it you could have ended up with two trips for two hen nights if they hadn’t have doubled up.
