[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to set the friend straight. Say you don't want to joint host a party.

My MIL did this to me and it was really frustrating. I was throwing my SIL a party and she took the whole thing over. I didn't get any say, nor did I get to pay for anything. I just assumed that was it and my MIL was throwing the shower. Lo and behold on the day before the shower, she drops everything off for me to set up. I also had to coordinate everything and run the games. Everyone kept asking me questions and I had no clue- it was not my shower! Just frustrating. I wanted to plan it and pay in the first place.[/quote]

So, your MIL did to you what OP is doing to the friend?  Because OP was asked to coordinate, and now she's taking it over.  If she's cutting the friend out entirely, she needs to be clear, and she needs to be prepared for some blowback when the friend is hurt and angry at being excluded from planning a party that was her idea.

OP is trying to take over the entire party instead of cohosting. Which is fine if that's what she wants. [/quote]
