[quote=Anonymous]Wow.  I think you are being overly controlling and taking over something that the friend is clearly in charge of doing.  Friend texted YOU.  You didn't come up with the idea or start the idea.  Friend texted YOU to HELP coordinate a party.  You called your SIL and offered to HELP - not HAVE the party.   Then you offered your home as the venue.  Think about that.  You didn't offer to have the party - you offered to have the friend's party at your house.

And now, when friend is planning the party, you're getting all mad that you can't control (and probably take credit for) having the party.

She called you to HELP coordinate the party.  So, do that.  Set up a time to talk with the friend to go over decorations, food, etc.  Tell friend what you like/don't like, and let her tell you and you two find something you both think your SIL would like.  Maybe tell friend that she could do the decorations and you do the food/drink?  Have friend come early to your house to help set up?

make it a joyous and fun (and inclusive) process.  Enjoy the planning and setting up and all that goes with celebrating this fun time and stop being so controlling and cliquey about "family-only" and "no friends allowed" BS. [/quote]
