Mixing friends

I've had some good news this week, and am going out with a friend on Saturday for a drink to celebrate. Another friend from a completely different part of my life asked me if I wanted to go out, and I told her I already had plans, but because I hate letting people down, I invited her to come along too. My DH says I've been silly to try and mesh completely different friendship groups - is he right? Did I do the wrong thing, and will everyone just feel awkward? I just wanted to be friendly. As a group of three, we don't have many things in common!

It can work really well and not so well.. However I dont think you are silly and not having things in common can be a bonus as it can mean you get a great debate going..

Congrats on your good news and hope you have a great evening

Have you told the first friend? I really hate having other people sprung on me.

Make sure you give your other friend advance warning as she will be expecting you on your own.

My friend recently bought a different friend along to a night out and it worked really well as we all got along and had similar interests

We would all meet up together again

Unless there is some reason they wouldn't get on and there is notice it's fine
