Sort of sensitive subject...What to do?So, the mother of my FH's best friend from high school was supposed to be doing the calligraphy for our invitations. She doesn't do it as her profession, but is great at it, and will do it for people she knows for a small fee. | |||

Re: Sort of sensitive subject...What to do?I can see where this is a sensitive subject. Since it is the mother of your FH's friend, I would have him talk to her and ask if she was still interested in doing them. Just have him say something like, "I know we had discussed you doing the calligraphy for our invitations. Are you still interested in doing them, or would you prefer not to?" This way it's up to her. It's only as awkward as you allow it to be. Good luck!

Re: Sort of sensitive subject...What to do?I would talk to her. See how she feels about it. Don't just go to someone else, that would insult her.

Re: Sort of sensitive subject...What to do?Thanks so much ladies! I was so torn over what to do because I can't even imagine how distraught they are right now (It happened over a week ago, and when FH talked to his friend today, it was the first time she had left the house). | |||

Re: Sort of sensitive subject...What to do?Sticky situation...... I think I would definitely bring it up...and soon only because obviously your date is approaching....I would just go into it apologizing for the poor timing (which is out of your control but unfortunate just the same) and then give her the option as to whether or not she is still interested....given the sensitivity of the issue. This way, if its a matter of her wanting the money, she can still do it. But if it is too hard for her, she would have an out.... Good luck!!
