She should tell both she needs to discuss it with her parents. Then she needs to decline one by saying that she was honored to be offered bids to two different groups. After talking with her parents, she has decided to accept AAA's bid. Many thanks for the opportunity to get to know you and your sisters. It was so much fun! I know we'll continue to be friends.

Goodness, ladies, there is always a proper way to decline an invitation.

And unless dues are publicly posted online, there's no way to know which is the more expensive. It's not the best reason but some people do choose one group over another because of dues.

I just said that she should tell them she needs to talk with her parents. I didn't say about what. That would be gauche. Seriously, one needs not air one's personal laundry. Just simply say - I need to check with my parents, I need to think it over, I need to pray about this, whatever vague polite comment will do.

Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant that XYZ might assume that she chose ABC because they're cheaper.
