Traveling with friends. Should I offer to help with money?

We're three college friends living in three different states, going on a weekend trip to see each other after a few years apart. Two of us have good jobs and a spouse with an income, one of us is a stay-at-home parent of two whose spouse works for a non-profit. Help me navigate the money stuff so we can make this fun for all three.

I don't know for sure how much money either of my friends have, but given the household situations I described above, I'm going on the assumption that one of us has a (probably much) smaller budget.

This is not a luxury vacation, just a weekend trip to spend time together. It's a day and a half, so all we've planned is a free concert in the park, and the museum ($18 entry fee). We want lots of free time to talk.

That said, we did discuss doing two pricier things: dinner on saturday night (nothing fancy, just an inside joke about shitty lasagna), and a $60 per person diy class.

We don't have to do either and would be happy to hang out at our airbnb. But it would be super fun!

What's the best way to navigate this, given that all three of us would love this specific class, and that acting on our lasagna inside joke would be a sweet memory for the future, but considering that our friend's budget could already be strecthed thin? (Other than not doing the dinner & class at all.)
