Destination bachelor party

[srtown]

I turned down an invitation to a three day destination bachelor party. It would be $1k before boots hit the ground and probably another $1k in food, drink, etc. while there. I am a groomsman and everyone on the invite is from the same area. I don't understand the need to spend the money. In any case, I am not hurting for money but declined the invitation. The way I feel about it is I would rather spend that money on time with my wife, or use it towards inventory for the business we are putting a plan together for, or a shiny new watch. Not on a party with a bunch of people that I wouldn't necessarily hang out with otherwise. In any case I foresee a shunning coming on and I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this?

These guys are on the immature side a bit and somewhat difficult to be around normally. I wouldn't opt to go on vacation with them. Did a weekend with them once and probably wouldn't do another if invited. I am honestly surprised to be in the wedding.
