Bridesmaids - was this too much

OK, a shout out to the experienced bridesmaids here.
So I went out of town for the weekend for a bridal shower. It was a really nice party, the gal who organized it did a nice job. However…isn’t there always a however?... she asked for $100 a piece from each bridesmaid to cover expense. That would be a total of $600. I kind of expected a luncheon.

No - the request for the money came a couple of weeks ago. That was fine by me. She did the work and opened her home for it - but knowing she was collecting from five of us, plus herself, I expected much more than what was done.
I don't know if anyone else is upset about it. It would be tacky to bring it up, so I was just really venting here.
Personally I think its tacky for a host of

She didn't expect the guests to pay - each bridesmaid put up $100 towards the shower. There is no maid of honor, just six bridesmaids.
I'm just upset because I think she took in a LOT more money than she spent. I wouldn't care if she had actually used the money.
In my first read I didnt realize right away that you were a bridesmaid.
I could understand 600 bucks for a catered meal but not for what you described!!
