arghh she wants to bring her friend

so I'm talking to my sister on MSN and telling her about Megan's first birthday party and she asks if she can bring a friend just for the company.

I said I would talk to my husband but no promises and it is really just a family thing..oh btw she is 17 (her an Megan share the same birthday)

I do want her first birthday party to be family only

I think she will need to learn that she cant always bring a friend with her to family events I mean fair enough if it is her party but this is my daughters birthday. It not as if the party will go on for hours most likely only be a couple of hours.

I am probably being a mean an horrible sister...lol

Yep, I'd let her bring a friend. I went thru that with my little sister - she'd always want a friend there and to tell you the truth, it was better doing that than have her complain about everything during the whole event!

I understand you wanting it to be a family thing, but if it's her birthday too then bringing a friend sounds like a nice idea.

my girls birthday party is a couple of days before her actual birthday because it falls on a monday ..so we are having her party on the saturday as it will be easier for our family to be there.

The birthday party will most likley only go on for a couple of hours. Im also already accommodating for my sister by having my daughters party before her birthday as my sister wants to go clubbing and cant go until after the 24th November anyway.

I can understand how my sister feels but at the same time I don't want to give in and just let her get her own way.

There will only be about 17 at the birthday party so wont be a whole heap of people and not like she doesn't know any of them.
