With party season among us it’s crazy how many things you get invited to, or not invited to. Baby showers, birthday parties, bonfires, bridal showers, bbq’s, bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings and this list could so go on forever. But this makes you take a long look at WHO DO I/YOU INVITE? Do you invite friends only? Do you invite family only? How much family? You know, do you invite mom's great aunt who you're not real sure if you ever even met, but mom suggests you do. Do you invite a little of both? Do you invite this cousin because you “REALLY want to”, but this one because “it would be rude not to”? Do you invite this friend because “she’s your best friend”, but this one because “she’ll get you a really good gift”? Do I invite so and so and hope they can’t make it? I’ve heard it all and seen it all.
But, flipping that switch, have you ever wondered where you as the invitee fit in the scheme of things? This is where if you let your mind wander and wonder a little too long your could become a head case, or at least let your feelings get really hurt (even if it’s just in your head and not really the case) You know, sometimes you secretly wish you would NOT get invited to something. Sometimes you really wish you would get invited to something. Then there is also the time when you didn’t think you wanted to be invited to something, until you find out some little detail. Does everyone like me-is that why I am getting invited? Am I the one that always gives a good gift? Am I the one that gets invited because “it would be rude not to”?
I think the worst part of it all is when a party is planned for months. You know, it’s one you don’t expect or really maybe even want, to be invited to. But rather than life carrying on as normal, everyone tries to hide that the party is happening for fear they may have to invite you. Only, just days before it’s happening someone slips up and spills the beans. Not only do you really really not want to be invited at that time, but you just want to excuse yourself from future events with those people as well. It kind of hurts, but more it makes you angry that they are so immature about things that they feel the need to HIDE something that everyone knows will be taking place…
See like I said, head case! lol Off to make a list of who to invite to my next party. :)
