15/f
so next month im having my sweet 16 party!
i didn't really have any good ideas so i decided to take my (girl) friends to a nice dinner. Now that i've told a few, they dont really sound excited( some do some dont). When i mentioned it to one of my closest friends, she said "well, why not a limo? ive always wanted to go in one, there so nice!".
Anyways what im trying to ask is, is it a waste spending my money on them when there not really appreciating the fact that it's my own birthday, cause it feels like a waste. Like now i only feel like bringing the friends that actually sound excited(becuase it is a lot of money to spend).
Anyway, another problem is i get to invite about 15 girls, some girls on my list i obviously want to invite, but some of them i really dont feel like inviting because im drifted apart from them(even thought we were close before); but i kind of have to invite them cuase otherwise they'll be left out. So i dont know what to do about that
And sorry this is kinda long, but the last thing is, if i wanna go for a nice dinner i obviously wanna dress up, but i dont want anyone to over dress me, and im SURE someone will. How do i prevent it?

It might get pretty expensive if you go somewhere nice. Try something like going to a pool or something. Or just throw a small little party at your house. Well still invite them i mean if they really arent friends then dont invite them and dont worry about how they feel once again its your birthday. Well then tell everyone thats its a nicer party so dress cute and then you show up in some super fab dress! im almost positive that they wont over dress you. Good luck!

for your second problem most of those fifteen girls are no longer your friends so why would they feel left out if you aren't their friends it shouldn't matter, friends drift i should know i've seen a lot of them go to different people some have different groups and others drifted off to another part of the country, but if their really your friends they wouldn't of drifted especially the ones who want you to spend money on them and not on you it should be get me this and get me that not i want you to get this and i want you to get that get it?
for you last problem of no one outshining you on your dinner. i may sound mean but why should that matter, it seems to me that your overthinking something that really shouldn't be over thought about, remember it is your birthday and their just dresses, so it shouldn't really matter if someone else has a nicer dress than you, because if they do you should ask where they got so this way no one can out shine on your seventeenth birthday because you shop where one of your friends shops.
do you get the whole your friends thing, it takes a friend to be friend.
