[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm the opposite of 06:50, I wouldn't go. DC's birthday ranks higher than anything else, even if he is only 2 and doesn't really get it.[/b] Weddings...eh. Particularly overseas weddings. Your friend won't be any less married if you aren't there, so just send a lovely card telling her how much you love her and are happy for her and all that (and a gift of course) and be done with it.

Anyone who expects you to travel overseas (even if she lives there) at a huge expense and burden to you and gets upset when you can't go isn't really your friend. It's just a wedding.[/quote]

I agree - family birthdays would come first for me. An overseas wedding is a huge expense, and that would also probably mean we couldn't do it, even for a very good friend. If it were me, I'd explain to my friend that I was so sorry I couldn't be there, and I'd also try to do something special for her before the wedding - could you host a shower for her, or throw her a dinner party? I would also hope that as your best friend she'd realize that it's your child's birthday and would understand that it would make it hard for you to be gone then. [/quote]
