"  After putting down a deposit on a hall and sending out invitations to your son&amp;#039;s confirmation, your sister-in-law calls to say your niece&amp;#039;s graduation is going to fall on the same day -- and her invitations are already in the mail! With more than half the guests invited to two events scheduled for the same time, what should you do?  1) Offer to change your date, even though you&amp;#039;ll lose your deposit. 2) Don&amp;#039;t do anything, and let the guests decide. 3) Talk to your sister-in-law and decide which party will be easier -- and less costly -- to change.  The correct answer: (3) The good news is, there&amp;#039;s a lot to celebrate in your family! Recognize that this is a unique and difficult situation. Make the best of it by discussing the dilemma with your sister-in-law to work out an amicable solution. Which event will be easier to reschedule? If you decide to change the date of your celebration, call those you&amp;#039;ve invited immediately. Perhaps your sister-in-law could even help you make the phone calls. And, maybe the hall will let you reschedule and apply your deposit to the new date. If your sister-in-law changes her plans, offer to help her contact the guests that she has invited. Another option: One of you could change just the time of the celebration, allowing both parties to take place on the same day. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
