To not understand why this is an issue

[lunx]

A group of friends are going on a hen do in a few months and the person who has arranged it has found a hotel for £75 a person per night. Someone in the group suggested an apartment as an alternative option as it works out cheaper per person per night at £35 each. But this idea was dismissed. Anyway the person who suggested the apartment asked a few of us what we wanted and several preferred the cheaper option. Especially taking into consideration the cost of travel, night out, new outfit and activities during the day. Now the person who wanted to stay in the £75 a night hotel and others who also wanted to stay there have gone mad at the others who wanted a cheaper alternative. Saying it’s selfish of them because now the others will have to pay more for the hotel and we should all be staying at the same accommodation even though the two accommodations are a short walking walking distance away. I personally don’t see an issue with this as we are still travelling together and spending the day/night together. We are just not sleeping in the same accommodation. Now it’s so awkward in the group. I just don’t understand the issue. Just wanted other’s opinions?

The bride selected someone to organise it.

But she didn't did she?

£75 to share a bed with a colleague- no thanks

People go batshit over weddings and this is another example: when else would it be ok to spend other people’s money on luxuries they can’t afford, in order that one person gets to feel like a spoiled princess?

years ago I got invited to what I was told was a ‘fake hen for X, it will just be fun as X is in town and got engaged’ (X lived far away) - obviously I declined because wtf is a ‘fake hen’? Turns out it was a real hen but the wedding was a ‘surprise’ (guests thought it was an engagement party) - the whole thing was utterly bizarre and just captured the self absorbed and selfish nature of the bride to be to a tee! Imagine thinking you are such a celebrity you have to tell your closest friends your hen do is ‘fake’ (and still expect them to spend £100s travelling across the country and so on for it!). Safe to say - we’re no longer friends after more of this nonsense over the years.

It's also not fair of the first organiser to impose an expensive hotel on the others. The booking should not have been confirmed without everyone's agreement.

OMG. they'd have to share a bed as well and for 75!
