Advice needed...delicate situation
Girls, July 5 will be my friend's wedding anniversary, but she got divorced recently and I want her to know I'm thinking of her, without coming right and discussing it and turning it into a "sad" day....what do you think about taking her out for some drinks or dinner? I don't even want to say, "Hey, I know it's the 5th...." I think I just want to say: "I'm taking you out tonight!" Sound good?

I think that's good -- she may not want to be alone.

Re: Advice needed...delicate situation
I think that's a great idea! But maybe ask her if she would rather do something lowkey instead--a movie and dinner or whatever--instead of a bar. I know when I am kind of sad I'd rather have a girls night than be out, but you know her better than anyone else!

Good point...thanks for your input. She just saw The Breakup...and she's so funny, she's like: It was my life on screen. I didn't see it, so I'm not sure how it ends up, happy or not, but they totally feuded over their house.

Re: Advice needed...delicate situation
If she's not up for going out, maybe a nice afternoon of mani/pedis and lunch?
Or even a fun, bright bunch of flowers? Who doesn't like getting flowers?

I think it's a great idea. For my friend who was divorced, I said the same thing. I think it's great to acknowledge sad days for friends with "I'm thinking about you".

What a great friend you are! I love the idea. I would do that for my friend on the anniversary of her mom's death. I never said that was why but she knew that I wanted to help her get her mind off the mom and I know she really appreciated it.

Re: Advice needed...delicate situation
That is thoughtful of you. No one wants to be alone on such a day and so many people tend to be away for the holiday week, I would worry about her being alone too.

Re: Advice needed...delicate situation
A few years back, a friend of mine was in a similar situation when her fiance called off their engagement. On the day she was supposed to get married, I went to visit her and we went out for drinks, and just had a girly weekend. She really appreciated the fact that I was just there....to do whatever she wanted to do!
I'm sure your friend will be grateful that you'll be there for her!
