What to do?

So I received an invitation yesterday to a good friend's engagement party on August 28 in the early evening.

I called another friend yesterday, the one getting married on my bday, and asked her if she knew what was going on with her shower/bachelorette party - I had offered to help plan it but the other girl also planning it told me August 14 and I hadn't heard anything. I kept the 14th free. I just heard and it'll be in San Francisco at a tea room at 3pm on August 28!

I'm conflicted - I want to go to both. I might be able to go to the tea, stay a couple of hours and make it back late to the engagement party but it would mean driving myself into San Fran, which terrifies me. 

Which would you go to? I guess I can't go to everything and things get scheduled on the same days but I'm a little annoyed that the date in my calendar got changed!

Re: What to do?

  • I would go to the one that you had offered to help plan. I think a shower/bachelorette party is a more important event than an engagement party. 

    Engagement parties to me always seemed gift grabby, since you will probably be having a shower also.

  • Good point. I'm not helping with the shower anymore (I guess.. it was planned without me!) but I think it would be more fun anyway! Maybe DH can go to the engagement party by himself if he doesn't mind doing so.
  • I agree....I'd go to the bach party.  The engagement party is nice, but there will likely be other events for that friend.

  • I agree I would go to the b party. And like pp said you will more than likely have more showers for the other friend you can go to.
