| Go to the baby shower. She is suppose to be your best friend and having a baby is a huge life change and her best friend should be there. Yes you only turn 25 once..but it isn't a huge deal..celebrate your birthday the next weekend and spend this special time with your friend. I'd be happy to share that special day with my friend. |

| Go to SF with your husband. Trust me. You may be doing the baby thing yourself one of these days and those memories of romantic getaways will feel mighty nice.Give your friend her present as early as possible. Make sure it’s a really, really good present – something sweet for the baby (I recommend a copy of Good Night Moon and a gift certificate to Babies R US for say, $25-$30) And, since you are reneging on a promise to attend her party, also give her an even nicer gift for herself – like a half-day trip to a pampering day-spa to get a massage and her nails done etc. Tell her regretfully that the invitation to her party arrived after you had already made plans and hotel reservations for a romantic get-away with your husband for your birthday. And when you re-checked your calendar, you saw that there was a huge conflict. You already have hotel reservations in SF that are non-refundable.If she can’t handle that, then that’s too bad. Either she gets over it or she won’t.Regardless of culture, sending out invitations at the last minute to something like a baby shower – is not a good idea – not cool at all.One thing – At 15, it’s OK to be vague and wide-open about your weekend plans. BUT at 25, you’re an adult now. You’d be wise to be more careful about leaving things so wide open – especially concerning birthdays and holidays. If you have the reputation for being blasé about your plans, people will naturally assume you are available and will expect you to drop everything for them. |

| Baby shower, you will have lots of birthdays. If my friends did not show up to my baby shower it would definitely change the friendship (If I was a women, I am taking this from what happened to my sister) |

| I think you should go to the baby shower. You're 25, not 10; you're not a little kid anymore. When you're an adult, your birthday is no longer sacrosanct. A lot of people work on their birthday and they don't feel like an injustice has been committed against them.Anyway, it's kind of fishy that she didn't remember your birthday. It almost reeks of a surprise b-day party. |
