How to split costs on a group trip without ruining friendships
I am a lawyer who moved thirty people across Croatia. The trip was not the hard part. The money was. Here is the system I use now.

The production side. Group trips, destination weddings and the parties I host at home — how they get designed, what they cost, and how to run one without losing your mind or your friends.
Eight days, four islands, one boat, thirty guests. The whole production, day by day.
How the trip actually gets made. Budgets, group logistics, and the spreadsheet nobody shows you.
Hosted at home. The golf bar crawl, the dinner parties, and everything with a dress code.

Eight days, four islands, one boat and thirty guests who all needed to be somewhere. Every decision, every number, and the two things I would do completely differently.

One email a week: where I have been, what it cost, and what I would book again. For women who plan the trip for everyone else.
