I missed the gift card suggestion, that's a great idea! I will have to ask her where she likes to shop as we don't go out together much because she has two kids of her own. :) thanks for the great advice!
Thanks so much!! I have already told her I will help her set up and clean up and do whatever she would need me to do as far as pay for invitations and food, getting addresses and such, but she continues to insist I am supposed to do nothing! I feel like if I let her do it all I am being rude I guess? I do appreciate her offer so much as I don't have too many friends. Do you maybe have a suggestion on a nice gift I could get for her?
Get addresses for invites, offer to help pay for food or invitations, anything you feel comfortable offering up.
The day of the party, offer to help set up and then clean up afterwards.
In general, let her know how grateful you are at the very least. And maybe get her a small gift or a gift card to her favorite restaurant or store.
