lissa8888 Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 So I've been trying to plan my sister's bachelorette party with two friends of hers, let's call them Girl A and Girl B. This has been through text, and yes I know what a poor medium of communication this can be. Anyway, I gave both of them my original idea and told them they could give ideas of their own. Girl A didn't respond originally (had to send her another text later, but I'll get back to that). As for Girl B, she didn't say anything about the idea I had, but asked "Have you checked out (place)? People say it's fun." Anyway, I wasn't sure what to say. It wasn't a bad idea but I just had my heart set on my original idea. So I ended up asking Girl A what she thought of my original idea, and she said she really liked it. So then we went ahead and planned what to do, and I pretty much know what the plan is now. My question is though, what do I say to Girl B? She last contacted me on Tuesday, and the longer I wait to respond to her the more awkward it gets for me to respond. I want to tell her what the plan is, but I'm worried if I do that it will look like I'm ignoring her idea. But then if I said something like "Good idea, but we've decided to (idea), I'm afraid that would sound dismissive. So my question is, what the heck do I say to her when I know what the idea is but don't want to outright reject her idea? (Sorry if this story makes no sense by the way. It's weirdly hard to explain).
todreaminblue Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 You can say " i think your idea rocks and if such and such(name of an umarried friend who might like idea of girl b) ever decides to get hitched i reckon she would love that dont you?.....but my sis would really love my idea (say place) i just know it will make her night its my sis to a t....we are going to have a great night.......thanks for you input much appreciated ill remember that place now you mentioned it.....i suggest saying this to her nto texting and let her hear your excitement involve her in other aspects of your planning.....something small maybe a bit whimsical and humorous, an outside the box thought or gift you need help with, make her feel appreciated and part of it....good luck with your sisters party...hope its a blast..best wishes......deb......
preraph Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Don't book anything until you talk to her. Tell her you discussed her plan and your plan with Girl A and think they like your plan better. And What do you think? And hope she goes along. If not, tell her, Well, gee, I guess there's only three of us, so let's let Girl A make the call.
