Not his fault either.
I have my hysterectomy on May 22nd (three weeks from today). A while back, I decided to have a Bye Bye Period party - part of the idea to invite a bunch of gal friends over and have munchies and coffee and fun!
I did individual invitations, which I mailed or delivered by hand. When I emailed reminders, I used BCC. So no one knew who else was coming - and I never SAID 'gals only'. I ASSUMED - and we know how THAT is spelled!
So one friend called up and said that Jim (I'll call him) is coming along too. Now, I knew Jim long before I knew his partner - we performed together as musicians, and he is a real sweetie. I would love to have his support and input.
However - do the rest of the folks coming know a guy will be here? Does it matter, especially since no one knows who is coming, and maybe they didn't all assume "all women" as I did. Should I call everyone else and see if they are ok with this???
These are dear people and I don't want to hurt them. I did reply and say I hoped Jim didn't mind being the only guy there. I wish I had thought it through a little longer. Jim's partner is very with it, but this didn't cross her mind.
Heck I could make party favours out of 'feminine products' and Jim would get a real laugh out of it, and come up with other clever things that could be built from the same materials.
It's ok with me...I don't know how OK it will be all around.
HELP! Any ideas????
