What is bachelorette etiquette when it comes to one person planning a party?

My friend is planning a bachelorette party by herself. Is it okay for say that everyone that rides the party bus must pay 10 bucks in order to help her pay for the bus. We need transportation like a party bus, but how does she make it clear to everyone that they need to pitch in.

Assuming that you all will be drinking, present it like the bus is the designated driver, and its not free. Plus, parking will be easier parking 1 bus, rather than 10 cars. Plus, if you go someplace where you have to pay for parking, this will just help that.
So, they can either pay a few bucks to ride the party bus, or drive themselves and not drink or risk a DUI.

I would just maybe communicate it one on one or send out a group email.
This is the plan. $10 for the party bus so we are all safe and can have fun!

Ten dollars is not a heck of a lot to part with. Just put the “fare” on the invitation, everyone usually kicks in for the bride so just say that the “party” will be starting on the bus, you might want to up it to $15 and get some champagne for everyone. I’ve attended a few of these and there always was a “gift” for the bride.
Have fun.

I have a Bachelorette Party supply website. I have all sorts of games, party favors, plates, cups, cake pans and so many other things to choose from. Depending on how much you order, it would ship either USPS Priority or FedEx. Shipping fee is only $7.95 no matter how much you order. Secure shopping, low prices, fast discreet shipping.
The site is BacheloretteBachelor.com http://www.bachelorettebachelor.com

I think that having the luxury of a party bus is extreme and that it should be part of the host offering this service. I don’t think reimbursement is appropriate. It’s just part of the expense of having the party and that shouldn’t be passed along to the guests.
If you do decide to ask for money, and you present it as an option, it’s going to cost even more for each person because some people will still elect to drive themselves or make other arrangements.
