My sister is getting engaged and is having her potential bridal party battle it out so she has one less thing to worry about before the engagement

If they did, it wasn't through the group text.

Her friend group has been the same handful of girls from high school (she didn't go to college and doesn't work), all of whom are "ladies that lunch", and either are super successful professionals or stay at home wives/moms. From what little I know of them, they are just like her.

Her best friend of 25+ years threw my sister's 35th birthday party and she sent a request list with the invites. It was nearly as bad imo. Primarily she was demanding pricey gifts and said the guests who couldn't afford to get things outright needed to pool their money to buy what was on the list.

I wasn't going to book a flight for a birthday party, so I sent a card.
