How do I ask people to pay for the bachelorette party?

I am throwing a bachelorette party for my friend. It's about 25 women going for dinner and then the younger crowd is goign to jump on a party bus and bar hop. It will be about $20 for the dinner only, $50 for dinner and bus - and then they will have the cash bar open and everyone will be buying drinks all night. I know it's rude to ask for money on an invitation (i know its rude in general to ask for money, but we are)... should I put it on a "tag a long" card? HOW DO YOU WORD SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

i am going to buy shot glasses as favors and some fun stuff for the bride. Not all of the bridesmaids are coming so that's why i'm not asking that we all pay for it. Should i ask the bridesmaids to chip in? and if i did, would it just be the ones that are attending then? I'd like to pay, but can't do it all on my own. Esp. with the other costs to be in the wedding. Help please.

thanks.

    I would just note it on the invitation - like the person above said, most young people are used to splitting party costs and probably won't be offended.

    For a bachelorette party, it's ok to include costs. If you want to keep it separate from the invitation, create a separate insert card with the info. For my best friend's bachelorette I gave guests options. We were having food and gifts for the bride at a friend's house first (which was not costing any guest anything) and then heading out on a party bus to a local casino and then bars. So, on the insert I put option A - "All in" which included party bus and admission to casino for $25, Option B - "Save my spot" - Drive self to the casino and just pay for admission in advance (which was cheaper at a group rate) for $15. Guests seemed to like the idea of deciding what was best for herself. Most did "all in" but some just came to the house and then went home and some chose option B so that they could leave when they saw fit.

    Sidenote: most people understand that hosting a party like this is quite expensive and are more than happy to pitch in, especially if they are told in advance.

    "sell" invites in the form of tickets. ;o)

    most people know they have to pitch for a bachelorette party, esp if you're all going out!

    I would expect its common knowledge.
