Am I just being overly sensitive about this bachelorette party?

I was the one who said earlier that I wondered if the bride even knew and that I would have gone anyway - especially since I had RSVP'd. Oh well. Sometimes giving someone the benefit of the doubt is worth it.

I honestly didn't even think about that until you said it, but it definitely makes more sense.

@Ashley8918 sorry for the short notice, but can you pick me up from the airport tonite?  I'm your long lost sister and Lifetime wants to start filming our story asap

Hahahaha, that's exactly what it felt like!

So what did you do?

I ended up just giving a "sorry, something came up." which was true, something did come up: the party became a pampered chef party.

She did end up sending a message the everyone who got the Facebook invite to apologize for the pampered chef business though. Apparently, her MOH planned the party before she knew that she was pregnant (the bride) and had to change it pretty quickly. The bride was not aware of what it had changed to until the day of and wasn't comfortable with it either.

That's tough on both ends.  Her MOH may have had something planned, but having to change it may have left her scrambling.  Maybe she thought the Pampered Chef party would be easier or a better options.  It stinks for the bride that she didn't find out until the day of, and felt uncomfortable about it.  I would have declined the party also. 

I did end up feeling bad both for the bride and the MOH. They were both put in an uncomfortable situation. I was happy to hear that plenty of people showed up and it wasn't too incredibly awkward for the bride. I was glad that I didn't go, though. I think I would have been visibly uncomfortable, especially since I really only know her, and not anyone else who was there.
