She and her boyfriend also got a big gender reveal cake but did not want to leave her sister out of dessert, either. In turn, she bought her sister a pack of vegan cupcakes she found.
Anyway, her sister apparently approved all of these special accommodations before she left for the month-long California trip. By the time her sister got home, though, everything apparently had changed.
First of all, she did not even hear from her sister for a few days after the yoga retreat because of jet lag. And by the time her sister reached out, it was just two days before the gender reveal party was set to take place.
During that text conversation, her sister also asked about all of the vegan food options again. So, she forwarded photos of the food her sister had previously agreed to and also sent over ingredient lists.
But to her surprise, her sister claimed to have picked up a new diet while she was at the retreat– which meant none of those foods were going to work.
“I’m not sure of all the details, but my sister no longer eats processed food and only eats from organic companies or from scratch,” she said.
And to be honest, she was kind of annoyed that she was going to have to run around and gather even more extra food just forty-eight hours before the party. Still, though, she did not want to leave her sister out of the celebration and asked what other kinds of food she could purchase instead of the vegan items.
Her sister ended up forwarding some photos of new food items, and she went to the store to check them out that afternoon. But she was totally shocked to find out just how expensive her sister’s food items were.
In fact, one bag of vegetable crisps, some burgers, and oat cookies was going to cost a whopping thirty-five pounds.
And after already spending hundreds of pounds on her gender reveal party, she just did not want to spend any more cash.
“So, I sent my sister a polite apologetic message saying that I would not be able to buy her the food she requested because it was out of our budget. But, I told my sister that she was more than welcome to bring her own food to the party,” she explained.
