After emailing back and forth, she asked me who from the family is going (we have like 5 people in our family) I said Dad bought his ticket the day we booked the place. She she says, I think you should say something to him, since I sent him a card and emails and I get no response. I told her sorry, no I am not getting involved, and please do not start anything at our party, it's not the place to make anyone upset. Here is her email... 'I would not make a scene. You should be worried about dad. But you know, you really should get involved because it is you that is asking everyone to get together. You would think you would make an effort to mediator and ensure that everything goes smoothly. But I guess you don't care to. Don't worry about me, worry about Dad's behavior.'
How do I react to that???

Don't. Plain and simple. She's got the issues, not you. If you don't think your dad is going to be a problem, then let her make herself look bad with her own behavior. If she's on her best behavior, then you don't have to worry about it. You don't need the added stress of someone trying to force you into the middle of some serious sounding problems in the midst of one of the happiest times of your life. So simply disregard any mention of it from her, and maybe she'll see that you won't allow her to become the focus of your engagement party and the focus might shift back to you, where it belongs.

WOW!!! Stay away from whatever issues your dad and your sister are having... I am assuming they are both adults and can behave well when necessary

It's been on-going for YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS. I don't think they have talked in like 5 or 6 years. And it never was a 'great' relationship for any of us, but I have learned to keep it civil between him and I
