Organized a birthday party, hired a room, ordered food and drinks and decorations, messaged my friends, mentioned I needed rsvps to book all of this. People confirmed.
Then I’m in an email thread about another event (a minor, unpaid, community event for artists - think like, an open mic), and several people replied saying “sure, I can make that!” It’s a clash with my birthday party and they haven’t messaged me about it.
Like it’s just a birthday party, I know. But I’m feeling sore about it.
It might not be a bad idea to say in that other event thread something like sounds fun but I have a birthday party then. Maybe you saying something will remind those people about their prior commitment. Maybe they just forgot or didn’t realize the timing conflict
Appreciate the advice- I kinda already did and I’m doing the week before. But there’s a whatsapp group and an email thread so… ya know, it’s just life
