Invite the people and have them RSVP and if they don't show oh well. There loss not yours. Atleast they can't come back and say they weren't invited. Just focus on you and your hubby that day. It's about you not them.
I know your feeling. I'm sorry you had a disappoining baby shower. I had only 3 people show up for my baby shower. I wasn't having the shower for gifts. Just to celebreate. I had plenty of stuff for they baby I didn't need gifts. When I got pregnant 4 years later. I made it known I did not want another baby shower. I had all the stuff left over from my first baby and they were both females. So I had clothes too. I was not going to set myself up to be hurt again.
But as for your wedding. I hope someone shows up for you. It is really depressing when no one does.
I know how ya feel honey. I was 19 when I had my baby shower. None of my friends showed. There were a ton of people-all family & friends of family. I knew about 75% of them. When we renewed our vows (we had no first wedding & reception), none of my in laws showed. It was just: my mom, dad, gramma, grampa, 1 family friend. But ya know what? By the time we were that far into our marriage, we realized that none of the other people mattered. At all. Some friends/family are effin' stupid. If there's anyone in particular you really want to come, call them and ask if got your invite. Tell them it would mean a lot to you if they came. The only time I'm re-hurt by our friends & family not coming to our stuff is when they invite us to theirs. wtf ya know?
I only had 6 ppl show up to my babyshower!! it really was very disappointing!
I know how you feel I messed up my daughters first bday and put it on a wednesday (on accident) and No one came cause they were all working... ok a couple people (like gmas and gpas and 3 friends..) but it was pretty pathetic... I was sad.. and her 2nd bday we hardly knew anyone cause we just moved here.. so I did have the few people we Do know come but it was really small... :( yeah I now have a phobia of every holiday noone showing up... ugh >.<
Invite more people the more you invite the more will be likely to come :) and don't worry if its small... its about you and your hubby <3 and the love you share.
Well maybe the "friends" you have aren't really friends at all then... I know I was worried about that too when I had my baby shower, that no one would show up and that I'd be sad and feel like I had no real friends ect ect... and I had almost everyone I invited show up for my baby shower.
however when I married DH we pretty much just had a court house type wedding with me and him and the pastor guy marrying us with a couple witnesses. and ya know for a few weeks after the wedding I felt disappointed that I didn't hold out for the wedding I really wanted, but know all the matters is that I am with the man of dreams and that we are happy together, not the kind of wedding we had or the amount of people that were there ect... as long as you and your dh are there and as long as you two really do love each other and are happy together ect then be happy marrying him and don't worry about who all shows up.... this is jmo from my experiences in life... good luck though...
bump...
Wishing you ladies
