| I will be 25 on Saturday. I kept my 'plans' open (as usual) so that way I could do something fun/spontaneous on my birthday. Well I found out a week ago that my VERY good friend, who I have known for 7 years, is having her "baby shower" on MAY 3, which is my birthday. She's always been good to remember my birthday before in the past, however, when I said "oh that’s my birthday' she acted as if she forgot that was my special day and kind of wondered if would impact whether I would be there or not "?". I did tell her I would be there, however its kind of weird I never got an invitation in the mail. When I asked her what time it started, she said either 3/4/5pm. Its a dif. kind of shower than the traditional norm. Its a Philippine shower, so a bunch of her family will be there. She said her mom sent out over 100 invitations last minute, but its more of a party/feast in their tradition. Well do I go to her shower? Or should I give her a gift a day early, and go out of town with my husband? We have no kids and so it would kind of be a romantic get away. I cant go to her party, then go out of town because the party of hers is an hour and half in the wrong direction of San Francisco, and we cant leave Saturday Night or Sunday.So….cancel my 25th birthday for a friend? And do something boring locally? It wouldn’t quite be the same, also if we went the following weekend. Its so much more fun and real to do things on the exact day of celebration. However, I don’t want to seem self centered. This sucks!!!!!!!!!! |

| Go to your friend's baby shower and take the whole weekend the next week to spend wherever you want with your husband doing the things you want to do. A baby shower is a 'planned event' that you don't want to miss, but your birthday can be 'moved' if it happens on a weekday and you want to spend a weekend day, so just move the day you celebrate your birthday ... You'll have MORE FUN at your 'birthday celebration' if you spend your birthday at your friend's shower ... think about THIS ... it's a big thing and possibly a nice thing that your friend scheduled her shower on your birthday ... and you may be asked to be the godmother to this baby and can 'share' that special day as the child grows ... |

| Its not being self centered...its QUALITY time with your husband...Which is really important these days. I say SAN FRAN!! Give a gift to your friend and appologize for missing the party and leave it at that. |

| Go with your heart and what you want to do!and she doesnt seem really considerate as she didnt tell you a proper time and acted suprised when you told her it was your bday.i think you should go to san fran and spend time with your family (husband). Their much important than friends.. as they'll come and go... and you'll only be 25 once! |
