How to get out of going to a baby shower?

Question

So a family member, who I know dislikes me, is getting married.

I don't care much for her either. But her immediate family is throwing a shower and I'm invited. Ofc I'll send a gift but I do not want to go. I don't really like her prissy attitude and spoiled behaviour.

If I went, I would literally be sitting by myself.

How do I get out of going ? I need really good excuses.

And no this has nothing to do with jealousy or anything. I truly just don't like her as a person and I've tried.

Answer

Tell them you're not going to go because you don't want to. And don't even bother sending her a gift. I don't give gifts to people I don't like. That's just asskissing.

Answer

Be an adult and say you don't want to go. No excuses needed. You don't have to go if you don't want to and if they are pissed so be it.

Answer

She's family. Send her a gift and tell them you are unable to attend. No excuse needed but is still be polite

Answer

Don't go. Send your regrets and a small gift. She doesn't need a reason why you can't go.

Answer

You're sick! *cough cough*

Answer

You could also view this as a way to maybe make a fresh start! If your invited this person is obviously involved in your life. Be the bigger person and go and try and enjoy yourself! It's worth a shot.

Answer

Just send your regrets with your gift. You don't have to explain anything to anyone. If anyone says anything just say you already had plans with a girlfriend that you can't break.

Answer

Just tell them you're not able to go but can still send a gift at least. If you don't do either, it'll make your relationship even more strained, no matter how much you dislike each other.
