I’m a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and the bride wants to go on a trip for her bachelorette party.  This trip, including airfare, hotel, spending, etc., will probably run me $1,000.  Would I being a bad bridesmaid if I don’t go?  My main reason is financial.  Her wedding is a destination wedding (for me) as it is, so I have to pay for flight and hotel for her wedding weekend.  Her bridal party is very small, so if I back out, the trip may or may not happen.  What would you do if you were in my shoes?

P.S. I got married last year and this bride was in my wedding party.  We took a trip for my bachelorette party but not in the $1,000 neighborhood.  She was also local for my wedding, so aside from bachelorette party, her costs were minimal.  (I paid for dress, hair, makeup, etc.)  Plus, we were obviously in a different economic climate.
