Wedding shower Yesterday (vent)

So I am completly amazed at the lack of respect people have when sending regrets or rsvp's for a wedding shower. I had my wedding shower yesterday, and my mom and a few of my bridesmaids had been working for months to make it absolutely perfect, and it was, but everyone was counting on between 30-35 people, because after those that called to send their regrets that what we had counted, but 18 actually only showed up! I mean is it really that hard to pick up the phone and say you are not coming, or even this day in age send a text or even a stupid FB message. My mom had the main course (lasagna) catered from one of the top Italian restaurants in town and i know it wasn't cheap along with all the other food and there was lots of absolutely awesome food... I was so upset and embarresd that people didnt call that I was in tears when I got home. My mom said it didnt bother her that she was just glad I enjoyed myself and I did, but I just know how much work everyone put into it and I am in such disbelief that people are theway they are.....

 ok vent over, I just had to get it off my chest!!!

    That drives me so nuts.  Every shower I've hosted (or that has been thrown for me) has the exact same problem.  It's totally embarrassing.

    It's not your fault, though, so don't beat yourself up about it!

    I'm glad you had a good shower!

    That happened at one of my showers too, totally embarrassing.  The kicker was that my MIL was one of the people to not show.  She later said "I didn't get an invite" which was the biggest lie of the century because my mom had spoken to her about it the day before.  People are rude.  Sorry that happened to you :(

    I'm sorry! People can really be rude! I had people rsvp yes to our wedding and then not show up! I think in total we had maybe 20 people rsvp yes and not show! We had a seated dinner to top it off....talk about rude!?

    That's so rude! I hate that!!! I was so disappointed at my baby shower because 10 women from my work rsvp'ed that they would be there, and 1 young girl from my work showed up. I couldn't believe it! Even my boss didn't show!

    People are very rude with this.  I don't understand when having the courtesy to RSVP went out of style.  I also can't believe the lack of Thank you cards with people my age...and Im 29!  It is very frustrating, but is not your fault.  I hope your shower was great otherwise.

    This exactly (except we had buffet). I was PISSED about that... I mean, okay, not showing up to the shower is one thing... but you say you're coming to the wedding, and then blow it off?? COME ON! And 5 of the people that didn't show were one of my really good friend's family (including the friend), who didn't come because he was SLEEPING. It was a 5pm wedding! And then later told my BROTHER that his gf didn't get an invite... she was included.. as "guest" but still included (we don't exactly get along the greatest....). We haven't talked at all since.
