My friend's bachelorette party has its own dedicated group chat and it's my personal nightmare.
By @edieyy · Friends
The party isn't until September but this chat is already getting 50+ notifications a day. The maid of honor is planning this thing like it's the G7 summit.
The full story
I love my friend, but her maid of honor is going to make me block her before the wedding even happens. The group chat for her bachelorette is a constant stream of polls about t-shirt slogans, debates over which brand of hard seltzer to buy, and links to eighteen different Airbnbs. It is June. This trip is three months away. I'm already over it. We don't need a live-time discussion on every single micro-decision. Just tell me where to be and how much money to send. Is it wrong if I just mute the chat and resurface in August?

What people are saying
@quinnok2 — I'd start replying to every single message with a thumbs up emoji.
@inesfr — lmaooo
@karaliterally — Is it possible the maid of honor is just trying to include everyone in the decisions so nobody feels left out?
@yarakindof — this is my favorite kind of fun.
@jess — A bachelorette party should be a steak dinner and a few beers, not a military operation.
