The proper way is to let you know you are the guest of honor before attending. What if you are not ready for your speech. I think the situation will depend on you, if you want to be a guest of honor and they advice too late and wanted still then go but be prepared for it. If you don't want you just have to tell them honestly. I haven't been invited to be a guest of honor that is why i can't relate to it.

I found out that I was to be guest of honor on Wednesday night before the event on Friday night when I was handed an announcement with my name printed on it.

If there is no invitation letter or note, why should I go? I do not want to become the person to be gossiped of the day.

You have the same feeling about this as I did when I found out. If if had not been an old friend, I would not have attended.

As for me, even it is an old friend, he is required to produce invitation note or inform me in person else I will not go to attend the party.

I would be surprised and annoyed and I'll tell the person who have that party what I feel about it. I will ask why he/she didn't inform me beforehand. If I am told that its a surprise then there's nothing I can do, but to attend the occasion. Maybe in a way I would be flattered to be the guest of honor, but at least I would have been given a chance to prepare for the occasion.

I spoke to her last night to tell her of my dismay. She was caught completely off guard, she thought she was being nice to me. I told her that I had assumed that, so I attended, but that I would have much preferred to be consulted ahead of time.

I would be very upset if someone made me the guest of honor in a party I was not informed about. I have social anxiety so it would be very curel of my friends to do that to me, throw a party knowing I would be very uncomfortable. I would probably go to the aprty anyway tho.

Your reaction mirrors mine. I was notified on Wednesday before the event on Friday. I was amazed at the audacity. I went, but I got a note today chastising me for having a poor attitude about it from someone who was there. I had thought I played along, but I guess I did not.
