Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul

Potentially icky situation...(Long)

Ok...so I have kinda posted about this in the past, but it has pretty much come to a head now, and I am not totally sure what to do.  My bestest friend from childhood is 'supposed' to be my PA and she also offered to throw me a shower.  She asked for some local help as she is in Madison and we are here.  So I connected her with another very good friend here in Minneapolis.  This was back in February.  A week ago, my local friend emailed me and said she hadn't heard from childhood friend.  I was pretty upset, considering my childhood friend said in February that she was going to contact my local friend that week.

CH friend has not been great about returning emails and in my mind, has really dropped the ball on this.  A lot of the girls that I would like to invite are out of town, so they need to know sooner than later when the shower is.  I told my local friend to start planning with out CH friend and I gave her the name of another friend-this was this morning and they have already been emailing me with ideas. 

SO....what do I do with the CH friend who has completely disregarded anything about anything.  She sounded really enthused to be my PA and host my party, but her actions indicate different...Am I wrong to tell my local friends to start planning?

    I'd give CH friend a call. She might have gotten busy, or she might have just been caught up in the moment when she offered to throw the party and when she realized that it's a big responsibility with a lot of work involved she had second thoughts. I would mention that local friend really wants to get started on the planning and ask if she's still wants to help out. I know it's tacky to ask someone to throw you a party, but I think you'd be fine as long as you keep it casual, like "LF was talking about planning my shower. I know you mentioned you wanted to help with that. Have you talked to her?" 
    If she's no longer interested, by all means, let the local friends have at it!

    I second ef's opinion. Just let CH friend know that LF will be getting in contact with her to plan the shower. Then it's out of your hands, which is good for you!
