What to do, what to do?

I'm planning my 18th birthday party, and I had to change the date twice now because two of my close friends couldn't make it. Just now I found out my best friend (we're practically sisters) can't come because her dad is visiting the same weekend as my party.

Should I reschedule again, or should I just go on with the plans, knowing I'm not going to be as happy because my best friend wont be there?

Like, I wanted it to be a small-ish party. Just hanging out with my good friends, watch some movies, play some cranium and apples to apples.

I just feel so disappointed.

Any ideas?

    It kind of depends on how flexible the other people you've invited are, and how soon the party is. If it's still a week or two away, and you really really want her to be there, and a new date would still work for everyone else, then go ahead and reschedule it. But at the same time, you can't rearrage plans at the drop of a hat just to accomodate one other person. And then you also have to think, whould she do the same for you? If the situation was reversed and you weren't able to make it, would she reschedule her party so you could be there, or would she just go ahead without you? I think you should just leave it as it is, if she can come, great, if not the two of you can do something special another time.

    Well, your birthday isn't your birthday without your BFF. Think: How would you feel if your best friend wasn't there to party? Think again: How would the rest of your friends feel if you changed around for the 3rd time: Think one more time: What if you changed the date and another friend couldn't make it? Plus, the more you change, the farther your party gets away from your real birthday. I hope this helped you make up your mind.

    I would go ahead with your plans. You have already canceled twice and you may end up with no one coming. You can't expect everyone to be able to attend anyways. Happy Birthday
