This was for my engagement party: Of course I left everything to the last minute. We were supposed to have the nice resident room rented out in the downstairs of our building. I walked downstairs 2 hours before the party (I was about to go buy a gift for the hostesses) and there was another girl down there cooking up a storm for HER engagement party!!! The dumb owners double booked the room!! Even though she had just reserved it that week and I had 2 months prior, I was not about to kick this girl out after they had decorated and everything, she looked like she was about to cry, as was I. Luckily, my friend quickly reserved the room at her highrise and off we were.....I had a huge punch bowl of sangria inbetween my legs that spilled all over my dad's car...oh well, everyone made it to the new location with 30 minutes notice and thought the place looked fabulous! Anyway, since the crisis occurred, I invited the hostess' (and the bridesmaid that saved us with her room) to come to try on bridal dresses, beforehand I took them to a nice brunch, paid for it, and had written them each a heartfelt thank you card.
