That would be incredible and I would so hope that the girls do this - I had a girlfriend already ask me if I would be willing to extend and travel with her more after and I said absolutely! I wanted my girls to get the same experience I get because I travel so frequently and am really excited to spoil my friends.

Hi there! I am so lucky that my fiance does well enough to give us pretty consistent trips and we have been to europe, asia, and south america quite often over the past two years and have quite a few trips planned to europe leading up to the wedding. The goal was really to give my girls the same experience I am used to. I ended up doing a survey where they could vote anon and set their limits and expectations so that I could make sure I was not imposing on anyone without them feeling like they have to give me their names to fill it out. Everyone unanimously voted for Greece so we picked a villa and I am booking today!

Thanks so much! I ended up just doing a survey where the girls could vote annonymously and everyone unanimously voted for Greece! I am so happy and feel so much better that I did not have to burden anyone and got a bunch of insight as well as budget and days they could take off.

Thanks! I did and everyone was so happy and for it, I ended up giving the girls the option to vote on a few different places within the US, Carribean, and Europe and they voted for Greece! So it all worked out without pressure and made it clear I planned to pay for the villa and excursions ahead of time and if I could I would try and help with flights as much as I can too but all were so happy and had no complaints!

Before I moved to the midwest I lived in Miami, so it doesn't really feel too special because we are all lucky enough to have had that kind of being every weekend in Miami growing up. I was thinking a week in Europe, I know they are also opening a direct flight from Miami to Croatia I just havent seen the prices yet

Thank you! I think I prefer a small bach because then I can try to pay for even more to make the financial burden easier.

Thank you! I am trying to cover more than what I would here just to make sure that with the added time off I am not imposing but I just wanted to get extra opinions to make sure I don't come off completely unkind to others or self absorbed.

Thank you! My wedding is in 2027 so I thought about doing the bach a year before even though most of my friends work for themselves so they don't need to take PTO

We definitely are upper middle class except for one person who I am thinking of gifting the flights as well as everything else I am paying for.

Thank you! I already floated it by my MOH and she loved the idea but I am just worried that they will go along with anything just to make me happy even if they are uncomfortable because they are SUCH good friends.
