You know the feeling of excitement that your childhood friend is about to get married, and then boom she gives you the bill for the aso ebi and suddenly your heart stops working…….lol

When you think of the damage this bill will do to your bank account, you can’t help but cry. However, you maintain a smiling face before people start to call you an enemy of progress. Abi?

expensive aso ebi

Here’s what to do when your friend drops that expensive aso ebi and your can’t afford it!

Tell her you already have a lace in that colour

Why should you buy lace fabric in different shades of coral pink? You might already have a dress in the wedding colours, so what’s the point in buying another? Call the bride to be, apologize profusely, but tell her you already have an outfit in her wedding colours and you’re really watching your budget. She might get angry, but its really not your business since you have already apologized.

Tell her you will be out of town

Sometimes you spend so much on aso-ebi and you end up not attending the wedding because you had to travel. Just tell your friend you might be out of town during the wedding, then show up in a decent dress on the d-day.

Tell her you just paid for your rent

You know that feeling of dropping off several hundred thousand of your hard earned money to make a major expense? Yup! Everyone can relate to this. Explain to the bride that you would have loved to buy the aso ebi, but your account balance is not in a happy place at the moment. She’ll totally understand.

Tell her that you just can’t afford it

By the time you calculate how much it would cost to buy your friend a great gift, pay for the aso ebi, sew the dress and accessorize it, you’ll know that honesty is the best policy. Don’t leave her Whatsapp messages on read. Call her and explain how much you would have loved to buy the aso ebi, and how it’s beyond your budget at the moment.

You’ll be surprised at how understanding she’ll be when you do this. And of course, you’ll feel relieved because you know you just saved yourself from the stress of owing someone money.
