Do you think these are unfair party plans?
I have a friend that is originally from where I live now..she moved away, but her parents still live here and she visits at least two or three times a year. Well, her 30th b-day is coming up, and she's planned events in both cities. The plans here are inclusive of our old classmates and family. She has designated days to do different things, so she sent out emails to all of us explaining what the plans were for every day Thur-Sun. All of the plans include things like going to an amusement park, going to brunches and dinners at fine restaurants, and going to high end clubs and after hours places for drinks. My whole thing is, how does she know who can and cannot afford something like this?? (I can't!) I know it's her 30th b-day, and she wants to do it big, but there is nothing that anyone can join in on to help her celebrate with out spending $$. It just seems a little unfair to me. I think out of a list of 12 or so friends, she may end up being very dissapointed..

it's her birthday so she can do what she wants.
RSVP and explain to her that you would love to help celebrate her birthday but you just dont have the extra cash for those things.
also, try to pick one thing at least, like a brunch or something that you can afford... you dont have to do everything, you can go out for drinks and just order one or 2 drinks and hang out the rest of the time... you dont have to spend a ton of money. and even fine restaurants have salads or other cheaper things that you can order.

i imagine your being somewhat spoiled. i wanted one as well yet i realized i do not decide on a celebration to sense like a princess. it really is a waste of money and also you ought to take excitement on your aunts efforts of spending funds on you in any respect. it really is a celebration not a wedding ceremony. And heavily; that's only an journey human beings will come to or maybe as they bypass to someones celebration it really is more desirable effective or they see a more desirable effective celebration they received't even keep in mind you had one. in the journey that your gonna throw a celebration, plan an 18th bash and plan it in view that now. perchance you'll sense more desirable effective in spite of the indisputable fact that that's not mandatory. Ask for funds and purchase some stuff for your self or spend it on the spa and eat out or re beautify your room. etc do not cry over a celebration even as there are those who only favor to have a spa day or favor to ever bypass out and don't have the money to finish that. be pleased about what u have and what ur getting. Lesson: do not B SPOILED

I suppose that will be her own fault then, and yes she should have taken that into consideration and not just assumed because it's a big thing for her, that everyone else can or would want to spend a huge chunk of cash just to be able to celebrate her birthday with her.

I think shes being unreasonable. She should have one night to go out with everyone, but expected everyone to go out three days in a row is a bit much. A lot of people can't afford to do all of those things. I think people should pick and choose what they want to participate in for her birthday.

I'm with you. I think it's very inconsiderate, and also very time-consuming. Why doesn't she have any time to just
BE with her friends -- a nice cocktail/hors d'ouevre (SP?) night
at someone's home where all can bring some food/drink
and share the cost????
Why don't you suggest to have this at your place, and see
what she says?
Also, that would be safer...
I hope she's not looking for gifts on top of all this!

Tell her that you want to see her but you can't afford that stuff. If she wants to exclude people have your own party!

How about don't party at all. Makes it so much easier.
