Is it rude if I skip out on friend's birthday party..even though..I RSVP-ed 'yes'?

Question

I ended up staying longer then expected, now I'm tired and want to relax. I had RSVP-ed 'yes' ...but am too tired to go. Is it rude if I cancel, take a rain check?..

Answer 1

How do you take a rain check on a scheduled birthday party?



Yes, it would be rude to skip because you are "tired" especially since you RSVPed yes.



Have a coffee, suck it up and show up even if it's just for a little while.



True friends think of someone other than themselves.

Answer 2

BBG is right. When someone throws a party, they spend their time and money to provide hospitality to all their guests. When you RSVP that you are coming, they have made allowances for refreshments and entertainment for you in their budget, and to not show up is very inconsiderate.



It is your own fault that you didn't make allowances for getting enough rest and having downtime between activities. So, suck it up and go to the party. You need to stay a socially acceptable amount of time (like an hour or so) and then you can tell the host thank you, but you are going to have to make an early night. Anything else is selfish and rude.

i don't think of it quite is impolite to aim to touch them returned, i could additionally recommend having whoever is throwing your bathe do the calling, or emailing, while i replace into throwing my sister's toddler bathe, I dealt with each little thing, and that i suggested as people countless circumstances to get particular's or no's, even though it quite is style of atypical that basically 3 have rsvp'd.. i could surely locate out whats happening

Answer 4

Yes. You knew beforehand that you would be expected to go. I don't know where it is you stayed too long but that's poor excuse for being too tired to go. How can you take a rain check on a birthday party? I don't think your friend will be able to reschedule his or her birthday for you. You may find that this party lifts you up anyway so go and make your friend happy.

Answer 5

It depends on how good of a friend you are to her. If she's one of your best best friends then you should go because you're expected to be there. But if your like a neutral friend and just say hi but don't really hangout or talk a lot then you can cancel. For me, i would want my friends to come because i would get that feeling of "It could have been more fun if ____ was here" If you're really tired but not in a sick way, just go and have a good time. I wouldn't want to miss it because everyone who went will talk about it and you'll feel left out because you didn't feel like going. Don't miss the fun. You don't have to party hard, you can just sit and talk to people. You wouldn't be forced to act crazy and wild. Go and have a good timee

Answer 6

I would just stop in a for a few to say happy birthday, let your friend know that you've exhausted from work and going home. Then go home! Talk to them later and ask how it went and apologize for not being able to stay.



If you don't go at all, just call or text them and explain what is going on. Try to take them out for dinner or something to make up for it. I'm sure they won't be upset, just maybe disappointed.

Answer 7

Of course it's rude. Go to the party, even if it's just to make a short (30-minute) appearance.

Answer 8

It's a birthday. She will have many more. If she is a friend she will understand.



Just make it up to her by taking her out to lunch or dinner.

Answer 9

Depends on how anal your friend can be. If they are, could cause some tension. If they are laid back. Just explain if they ask, and move on.
