What to do?
My friend Jamie and I are throwing a shower for another friend, Tina. We were planning an adorable bash for our group of about 13 ladies. Our budget is tight, but I'm pretty thrifty and Jamie is incredibly crafty and a talented baker, so we could pull off something simple, but still cute and classy.
The other day Tina asks if we can include some of her other friends. Sure, no problem, we're a welcoming bunch. But then she tells us the guest list would include about 30 more people. Whoa.
First, we don't have a venue that would accommodate that many people. The park or a backyard is out, since our area gets extremely hot in about three weeks. Outdoors would be absolutely miserable for everyone.
So, my question is: do we forfeit the cute and classy party and have a tacky get together at a pizza parlor? Or do we tell her no? And how could we possibly tell her no?
She's a wonderful friend, and I don't think she realizes just how much she's asking. She's not a rude or assuming person at all. We want to make her happy, we love her dearly, but I have no idea what to do. Help!
