Theres a formal on for my church group on the 16th of december and there are so many great people going and I know that I will have soooooo much fun but its also on the same day as one of my close friend's birthday. And they're on the same time. I really want to go to the formal but I don't want to break it to my friend. I secretly know I'll have way more fun at the formal!!!! What also is an awesome to get her? Please help, it will be greatly appreciated.

Just tell her that the formal has been planned for a long time, and you wish that you could go to both but you just can't. Tell her you guys should try and plan something else, when she has a chance. But remember to tell her soon, because if too many people can't go, she might decide to reshedual it, you never know, you may get to do both!
Get your friend something that shows that you really know her. Something that has to do with an insider that the two of you have shared, or something that she has complained about wanting for the longest time. Think back as long as you've known her, and if you just can't think of something, money and a card always works too. But if you do that, you should make a homemade one, because that shows that you actually worked hard for it, you didnt just grab one off of the shelf at some store. - Or - you could buy lunch one day, when you two hang out. That would be good, if you buy her a small gift. It's hard to tell you what to get when I don't know her, but I think if you really think about it, I'm sure you will be able to find a great gift that she will really charish. Good luck, and have fun at your formal. [ angie91's advice column | Ask angie91 A Question ]

Arrange a lunch date or something on her birthday, or around it, and have a get together for just the two of you. About gifts, I have no idea. I usually give gifts from my heart, like a framed poem on pretty paper. Hope I helped and I hope your friend isn't disappointed. [ KaTiE_LyNn's advice column | Ask KaTiE_LyNn A Question ]
