    I think it's sweet you're so concerned. Sounds like she's a great friend. I'm sure she understood your being sick. Did she seem upset about it? I think a gracious note and maybe a thank you gift would suffice. If you're really looking to treat her, maybe a spa afternoon or something?

    I'm assuming you didn't make everyone else fawn over you and therefore not drink/eat/enjoy the hotel? Smile I would bet the guests still ate/drank/socialized?

    If that's the case, you're fine. Now if you made everyone nurse you to health all evening, different story!

    [QUOTE]Ok, so this is something that could only happen to me, and i'm trying to figure out what I should do. My good friend spared no expense for my bach party, getting hotel rooms, arranging for a beautiful dinner, stocked the rooms with drinks, made arrangements to go dancing, etc. I was deeply touched and super excited about the night. Then I got food poisoning the day before. It was so bad I almost asked to go to the hospital because I couldn't keep fluids. it left me bone tired, miserable, and nauseuous around food the next 3 days. Obviiously that covers the time I was supposed to go to the party she so painstakingly planned. I went to the party because I was determined not to waste all her hard work. But I was unable to eat or drink anything, and could only keep myself awake until midnight. All in all, I totally ruined her party, and I feel really aweful about it. I want to do something to make up for it, but can't think of what that should be. Suggestions?

    </div><div>I rarely post on the E-board (I mostly just stalk it), but I wanted to respond anyway. First of all, I think the best thing you can do is to make sure she knows that you NOTICED all of the work she put in, and really appreciated it. Instead of saying something like "I'm sorry I was so sick and couldn't enjoy the party" say something like "You did such an awesome job with the party, I really loved [insert special detail]. Acknowledge that you probably would have had more fun had you not been miserably ill, but do whatever you can to let her know that her efforts were appreciated and NOT wasted. She sounds like a great friend, and so do you for wanting to make this up to her!

    "Pin the Junk on the Hunk"?

    That sounds hilarious. :)
