So, yesterday, I posted about an older friend, D, who wanted to bring her adult daughter to the reception. I did not include a plus one for this person. She used to work with us so she will know almost everyone in attendance. I followed your advice and politely explained to her that we did not have the budget to include guest. She then informed me that she would not be coming because she didn't feel comfortable driving home, alone. Side note: I has told by my other friend, L, alsoD's friend, that D has NOT going to come to the wedding. She has known her for years and pushed me into adding 5 more people to my guest list becuase of all of the people who wouldn't be coming. Guess what, now, almost all of those people are coming! We are at the very tip top of our budget. Well, then L askes me how everything is going and then tells me I have to mend fences with D! I shouldn't lose a friend over this and of course she should bring her daughter. Are you kidding me! I don't know what to do! Help me
And the worst part, L is my boss at work
