My friend is having a sleepover/birthday party the same day I am. My friends are having to choose between us?
I just found out that one of my friends is having her birthday party/sleepover, the same night I'm having my birthday party/sleepover. Its the only night I can have it, and there is no way that I can change it to another night, or week. I found out, because one of my friends received invitations to both our parties. She won't change the date, and doesn't want to have a joint party with me (even though we invited the same people). Her party sounds so much cooler than mine, because she's taking them out to eat, going to the mall, and doing all kinds of stuff that I can't because it costs too much. I've been working hard for the last few months to get my house ready so that I can finally have a birthday party again (its been 4 years since I had my last party). I wasn't invited to her party, and so far only one of my friends have RSVP and its this weekend. What can I do to make my party sound like fun? I was planning on having some friends over, watching a movie, and just hanging out and playing games, we don't get to see each other often because we all go to different schools. I'm feeling really depressed right now, because I was really looking forward to having some friends over again. What can I do? She's making it sound like its a competition between us, and making our friends choose.
We're both in a club that has a meeting all day Saturday, then we're both starting our parties once the meeting is over, which is around 6:00 in the evening, and they're BOTH sleepovers.

She didn't invite you? That's really cold! This really is the only night you can have it? You can't have it some Friday or Saturday night in the future?
If all of this truly is the case, have fun with the one friend that did respond. It will cost a lot less if it is just the two of you so maybe the two of you can go out to eat and maybe get your nails done or go to one of those Bath and Body places and pick up a few small items to pamper each other while watching a movie.
If you can't move it, tell everyone this is just the way it has to be and you are sorry they are in this position, and that you really didn't plan it this way. Tell them you tried to change the date and you tried to have a joint party but the other girl didn't want to do it. If no one else comes, have your party with your one friend and treat her very special. Have a great time and don't think twice about the other party.
Life isn't fair, and I'm really sorry about that. Do the best with what you've got. Good luck!

You have your wedding on the day you chose, your FBIL's friend will have his wedding on the day he chose. Your FBIL will choose which wedding he wants to attend. There isn't anything you can do. Why on earth would you even consider changing your plans? It's not your responsibility to change all of your plans to accommodate one person who should've been committed and locked into your date months ago. On the other hand - how in the world did you set a date and not immediately email immediate family to lock them in? Get on the phone and call him. NOW. Stop procrastinating, get everyone lined up and just take care of this. If you have your date booked, it's your own damn fault for not telling it to people ESPECIALLY if you wanted their kid in the wedding. If you've had time to book your honeymoon, you had time to call someone to ask if you could borrow his daughter for the afternoon. That being said, if your FBIL isn't there - then he isn't there. He'll have to make a choice. My BIL and one of my best friends are both getting married on the same day this summer. It sucks, but I had to make a choice. Not that it was terribly difficult - family comes first - but it's still a bummer that I can't be in two places at once. Life is full of choices and difficult situations.

Well you could tell all the people you have invited that its going to be themed, you could get all
your Friends to dress up and have a fancy dress party and a sleep ova, This way its more fun. You could also have some party games, karaoke and if you have a chocolate fountain you could use that that is always fun!
Hope this helps and gives you some ideas!
And enjoy your birthday :D x

well have your party
and the people that really wants to be with you
is going to be with you.
don't worry. if nobody goes to your party
that means that you don't real friends.
caus i promise you something.
if there is a million parties going on the same day i am having mines
i know for a fact that my friends wil never turn me down.
get to know who is real friend
also if you want to have a real party to easy.
rent a move
popcorn
pizza or everybody can cook in the house
do a ruck march ( i love exercise)
music
don't worry everything is going to be fine alrite
if you already ask the other female
to have a join party and she said no
and if she didn't invite you
i have to say that she is not worth wasting your time alrite
good luck

Its easy...you can force the issue and then its you who are making your friends choose...you will find out who your real friends are that way I suppose....but why are you planning and paying for your own Bday party excursion...in my crew bday boy gets a free ride, and cant buy himself a drink to save his life. Can you change the time to later at night? Her party sounds lame anyway...yeah lunch and the mall..be creative with your plan and itll way better..promise..and it will stand out making it memorable. Make everyone pay their own way..then you can do alot more! Try going to a VW or BMW dealership with your parents and take a car for a spin for a few hours with you buds...invite attractive members of the opposite sex over...rent a nintendo wii...make it a pirate party where everybody has to come in pirate garb...i dunno...if she does have a sleepover and it harshes your gig..plan a midnight raid...have one of your closer friends whos invited to her party, ask her if she can bring a friend..have that friend be you, and crash her party..let her cry if she wants too!

Your real friends will come to your party. You only really want friends who really like you for who you are, not how much money you can spend. She's being a B just to be one, forget her.

Ohh...
It already happened to me and my friend. We reached an agreement, and I made my party in the next day.

I'm still stuck on the fact you weren't invited to her party. Sounds like she is not your friend.
