Hi , long story short,me and my cousins birthday is on weekend . Mine is sat hers is Sunday , she wants to go out for hers on Saturday with some of her mates and invited me . My issue is that I don't really fancy going out , it's my day and I just want to spend like a day out with family and some food . I don't really want to go out drinking . Also they are going out to one place I particularly don't like ,I feel too old for ,but she likes that place. Anyways she can do what she likes but then I don't want to ,it's actually my birthday. I think lots of girls are not coming , and now she is on my case that I need to come but I really don't want but I don't want to be rude and fall out . I kind of feel she only now begging me because there is barely anyone coming . So not sure how to politely say no ?
Also I have told her that I don't have so much money to spend on night out ,I rather spend that money on smth else x

No, I hope you have a great time but that's not how I want to spend my birthday

As others have said. “Sorry, I want to do x for my bday, not a drink night out. Hope you have fun though!”
If you don’t want to and haven’t already committed to it, then just say no.

Just tell her no! Say it's your birthday and you have plans already that night. It's really not that big a drama.

"Sorry, I've made plans to do x for my birthday of Saturday, so I can't make it. Have fun!"
