I planned it in spite of that...but I did end up being able to attend after all. </p> meganmp on "Have you ever helped organize a shower you weren't attending?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-helped-organize-a-shower-you-werent-attending#post-2474809 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:56:17 +0000 meganmp 2474809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my good friends was having a baby shower right after our failed IVF. I helped organize but didn't attend. I didn't want to bring any negative energy. </p> snowjewelz on "Have you ever helped organize a shower you weren't attending?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-helped-organize-a-shower-you-werent-attending#post-2474804 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:54:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2474804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, I would! If we're close I'd feel so sad/bad that I can't be there so I'd def offer to help. </p> pastemoo on "Have you ever helped organize a shower you weren't attending?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-helped-organize-a-shower-you-werent-attending#post-2474798 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:52:28 +0000 pastemoo 2474798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is hard!<br /> I've planned a party for a far away friend--but only parts of it.<br /> Sorry you can't be there. Do what you can! </p> Raindrop on "Have you ever helped organize a shower you weren't attending?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-helped-organize-a-shower-you-werent-attending#post-2466273 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:18:39 +0000 Raindrop 2466273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tough situation. Sometimes schedules just don’t work out. Bummers!</p> <p>I have not offered to help in something that I couldn’t attend but you sound like a great friend for offering!</p> <p>I have been unable to go to big events of good friends because of conflicts and it sucks because I’m a quality time person and so it really hurts when I think I missed big events but in the end it really wasn’t that big of deal even though I really wanted being there for them. </p> mediagirl on "Have you ever helped organize a shower you weren't attending?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-helped-organize-a-shower-you-werent-attending#post-2465891 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:01:55 +0000 mediagirl 2465891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever tried to help organize a shower that you were not going to attend? I am going to be away the weekend that the host for my friend's shower picked. I'm pretty disappointed that I can't attend because this is a pretty close friend. I offered to do invites to at least try to be involved. :/</p> <p>Have you ever helped organize a shower you weren't attending? </p>
