So I was supposed to host my friend's bachelorette party. I offered to host it, invited people, started planning, etc. There isn't a specific plan in the works, but there's a date, a rough idea (downtown bar-hopping?), and a guest list. She knows about it, people who are coming know about it, so it's definitely a go.
Here's the problem. I have a medical issue that cropped up and now I'm having to move back to my home state (from school, where my friend and all our friends live and where the party is planned) earlier than I thought, thus making me unable to host this party. I don't want to have to cancel because everyone is excited, including the bride. I think I found another friend to take over the party-planning duties, but now I feel like the odd-duck out and totally lame for bailing.
How can I still be there for my friend (especially since she's pretty shy and I feel like she was counting on me to not go totally crazy with penises and stuff), still do something special for her b-party, even though I can't actually be there on the night of? I'm still going to attend the wedding, but I feel like I'm missing a super fun girl's night out and totally bummed
