HELP ME!! The bride called me in tears over the bachelorette party. Her little sister (who gets everything she wants and they don't get along) is maid of honor by default. I am the #2 girl in line - aka best friend. The bach. party was to be sitting on a deck (in Kansas in August) and drinking. This isn't what the bride wants. So I asked the bride if we should have a "pajama party" (adult lingerie/toys/lotions/oils). She said that sounded fun. I attempted to call the MOH 3 times with out success. So I called the MOB and asked if this would be a problem to have at her house at the time of the deck event. The MOB thought this would be great fun for all and consented to letting us use her home. I also asked if this would cause problems and she (mob) said no. Well now the MOH/little sister has had the bride in tears twice. Also called and e-mailed me and left me hateful messages. She contends that I am taking her title. Honestly I cleared this with her mother to ensure that I am not taking any titles away. I could really care less what my title is. As long as it is "friend" that is fine with me. However I am trying to have a fun bach. party for my friend. Now the bride is saying cancel it all. She can't take the stress of her little sister and is willing to give in. She is giving in for her sanity. The MOH is 21, Bride 24 and myself 28. Personally I am to old for Jr. High games. More than anything what do I do? I can't stand the way my best friend is feeling! She is so sad, hurt and upset. I really do just want to throw her a great time. HELP ME PLEASE.

Dear Friend,
Perhaps you could just take your friend out--just the two of you for the evening. You don't have to call it a party. It is just the two of you, so she can relax and get away from the 'bratty' sis.
Other than that, she is probably right about canceling. Since she isn't ready to tell her sister to step down, she is stuck with the tantrums and her decisions.
