GOBankingRates found in a recent survey that the biggest expense for both groomsmen and bridesmaids is the bachelor or bachelorette party. Groomsmen are especially big spenders, though. The average amount they reported spending on a bachelor party is $681.13; whereas, bridesmaids spend $437.31, on average. When planning a bachelor or bachelorette party, keep these costs in mind. And if you want to party in a big city, pick a destination that's fun -- but also affordable.
The bachelorette party is not a gift party in the same way a bridal shower is, so presents aren't necessary. That said, this is a great opportunity for guests to give the bride silly gifts (or even sexy ones like the lingerie that was just too risquÃ© for the shower!).
