Plan the bachelorette. Not the expense report.
Track every cost from the Airbnb to the matching tees. Split fairly, cover the bride's share, and settle without the maid of honor running a spreadsheet empire.
This is for you if...
- ✓You're the maid of honor and the financial logistics are already overwhelming
- ✓The group has different budgets and comfort levels
- ✓Some people are coming for part of the trip, not all of it
- ✓You want to cover the bride without making the math a nightmare
The trip should be about the bride. Not about who owes what for the cocktail-making class.
Built for group celebrations
Are We Even handles the unique financial dynamics of bachelorette trips -- varied participation, the bride's covered share, and expenses that pop up throughout a packed weekend.
No spreadsheets. No awkward money conversations. Just clarity.
Why bachelorette trip finances get complicated
The maid of honor carries everything
Book the rental, coordinate deposits, track who paid, chase reimbursements. It's event planning plus accounting.
Not everyone participates in everything
Someone skips the spa day. Two people leave before the last dinner. But the Airbnb is split equally. The math gets layered.
Covering the bride adds complexity
Everyone agrees the bride doesn't pay. But dividing her portion across 8 people with different participation levels? That's where spreadsheets start.
Budget conversations feel delicate
Some people can spend freely. Others are watching every dollar. Nobody wants to be the one who says "that's too expensive."
One place for every bachelorette expense
Are We Even tracks who paid, who's included, and what everyone owes -- with the bride's share automatically distributed across the group. The maid of honor shares a link. Everyone joins in their browser. Expenses get logged as they happen. No chasing payments. No spreadsheet updates at midnight. No post-trip money drama.
- Exclude the bride from splits automatically
- Only include participants in each expense
- Settle with minimum transfers

Common bachelorette expenses
Why spreadsheets don't work for bachelorettes
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Maid of honor tracks solo | unfair burden, constant updates |
| Group chat IOUs | lost in hundreds of messages |
| Venmo requests after | impersonal, easy to forget |
| Shared Google Sheet | nobody updates it, formulas break |
| Are We Even | shared tracking, bride excluded, settle with minimum transfers |
Getting 8 people on board takes 30 seconds
Share a link. Everyone taps it. They're in. No app to download, no account to create, no payment required from them. The maid of honor pays once. The whole group benefits.
