How do I get out a coworker's kid's party?

[(Anonymous)]

My coworker is having some huge blowout for her kid's 15th birthday. I don't want to go. It is fancy dress or a 50s dress up theme. I asked if I could dress like a greaser but apparently any female guests must where dresses. I don't even own one. I don't know the kid. I'd rather stay home.

What is the most tactful way to tell her I don't want to go.

Thank her for inviting you but say you have other plans. (I think it's weird to invite a co-worker to a kids party if they don't know the kid, unless you're also supposed to bring a gift of some kind, lol. Also it's rude to try to impose weird dress code rules on you. You don't own a dress, but you're expected to wear a 50s-style one to this one party? Lol is she going to buy you the dress? Otherwise I think your offer of d4essing like a greaser was perfectly reasonable.)

Something came up and you're busy, but the happiest of birthdays to the kid anyway.

It's how you blow off any plan, the formula is multi-purpose and is classic for a reason.

What a lucky kid. I know when I was 15, it was my wildest dream that my mom would throw a big party and invite a bunch of her coworkers whom I'd never met.

Just say you can't make it. Offer no explanation or apology; none is required.

lol for real.

maybe there's more to this story - is OP a family friend or something?

Re: How do I get out a coworker's kid's party?

Not a family friend but my job only has like 5 employees and we all work closely together. I went to her stupid Halloween party, that should be enough!

omg. i thought they meant like a 15 month old ... it didn't even occur to me someone would do that for a teenager.

"I'm sorry, I don't own a dress, and I'd rather the money go toward the kid's present than a dress for me." Make her pick. She'll probably pick the gift. You can send it along.

As long as you haven't already agreed to go, say you already have other plans for that day and leave it at that.
