Should I invite her to my party

[tesscap21]

So about 4 months ago I got in a huge fight with one of my best friends. We were friends since we were in 4th grade and we're both 22 now. It was a really stupid fight and alcohol was involved but we haven't talked since, although she did unblock me and add me back on Facebook. Well this weekend I'm having a Christmas party at my house and I was thinking maybe I should text her and invite her and her boyfriend, but I'm not sure if that would be weird or not. I thought it might be a good way to break the ice since we have mutual friends who will be at the party. I was just gonna say something along the lines of "hey I haven't talked to you in awhile I hope you're doing well. I'm having a Christmas party Saturday if you and billy (her bf) want to come you're more than welcome to." Should I invite her or is that a bad idea? I miss being friends with her and the fight was over nothing significant (I posted about the fight in a previous forum).

It sounds to me like you're ready to forgive her, and inviting her to the party -- even if she doesn't come -- is a way of saying you'd be open to reconciliation.

Take the high road and send the invite, then she can choose to come or not. Life is too short for grudges, right?

S she did unblock me and add me back on Facebook. Well this weekend I'm having a Christmas party at my house and I was thinking maybe I should text her and invite her and her boyfriend, but I'm not sure if that would be weird or not.

People forgive people for murdering their kids in hit and runs and what not, if you guys can't work through this...

I like this idea. My only suggestion: the way you phrased the invite sounds like an afterthought. I would suggest phrasing it as "hey, I haven't talked to you in awhile and I hope you're doing well. I'm having a Christmas party on Saturday that I would like to invite you and Billy to."

Well I gave it a shot, I invited her and she actually replied nicely and said she'll let me know and that she's missed me. So that was nice to hear even if she doesn't come on Saturday. Thanks everyone
