Ok, so my cousin's BP is on Saturday. She didn't want everyone to spend alot of money, so they are pre-gaming at her apt (in NJ) and then taking a cab to Porky's in the city. Their estimated arrival time is b/w 10:30 and 11 o'clock, which has changed numerous times. My sister and I are supposed to meet them there, but I so do not want to go...We wouldn't get there until almost 11 and then we have to catch a 1:30 train home b/c the next one is at 3 and I have to work the next day. My sister doesn't want to hurt her feelings, but I feel they haven't really thought about the people that do not live near them. And I really don't have the money to waste for 2 hours in a crowed bar when they will probably be half in the bag. If we decide not to go, what should we say? Thoughts?

im sorry, i dont mean to be harsh , honestly when talking about things it was more from putting myself in the situation if a friend or relative was having a bp not always referring to you. The only reason i said things after was more in defense to ppl thinking its selfish to want others to come out for bp, nothing against you.

Again, i dont know your relationship with her, if you're not that close then its different...if youre very close talk to her first, and definitely think about suggesting dinner first and this way you can even go home earlier.

I know somtimes it seems harsh but all the girls are just giving there sides and opinions. In the end its all LOVE for our fellow LIW Bride!

I know! I do appreciate all of the help...I have made the decision to go b/c it's the right thing to do. I'll let you know how it goes. The place actually looks pretty cool, so my sister and I are going to make the most of it.
