How to Split the Cost: Make It Fair for Everyone
The most common source of bachelorette party drama? Money. Here's the formula that works: The bride (or groom) never pays. Split the total cost among the remaining guests. Use Venmo or Cash App to collect before the event.
On a 24-passenger bus at $300/hour for 6 hours ($1,800 total), that's $120 per person for 15 guests β with the bride's share split among everyone. That's exceptional value for a night of luxury transportation, no Uber costs, and the freedom to celebrate anywhere in Houston.
