An un-vitation?

| Friend just texted a friend group (about six women) that they are having a graduation party for their son that starts in an hour. Our kids are not friends (that’s not how we know each other). I am not showered and have no gift. I really don’t want to go. But if I stop by do I need to bring a gift? Is this some sort of un-vitation? |

| You are under no obligation to attend a party that you are told about one hour beforehand. |

| Maybe she's doing the last minute party thing of "oh my gosh what if nobody shows up" and sent some panic texts. |

Not much better. 6 pm on a Sunday seems super sketchy like it’s just a gift grab. |

| Maybe she realized she wanted to have some fun, too and not be bored all night or stressed with the teens and family, so she last minute invited friends. |

| Your friend is either self-absorbed or has zero time management skills. Or both. I would not go. I would also question what kind of person she is to do this, and why I am hanging out with her. If she texted me later questioning why I did not show up, I would drop her narcissistic butt faster than a hot potato. |

This is what I think. You don’t have to go. |

| There is no expectation for you to attend. If you do, you could just do a card with a small check. |

| Bring a check. That's all you need. |

FTW! Done. Card (with gift card or cash?) later if you feel like it’s appropriate. |
