Bummed about our shower

Quizzle · June 2010

I'm just being a big baby here, so you're warned.

We're only having one shower, this weekend, and it's not too big (like 30 people maybe, most of them couples). At this moment, our RSVP list is REALLY small, mostly family. I love my family, but I wish more of our friends would be able to come too. I sort of feel like a big fat lame-o for having this shower that nobody is going to really enjoy or something. Why have people drive all that way if nobody will be there?

And yeah, I'm probably being oversensitive pregnant lady, too.

I felt the same way about the boys' birthday party last week. I invited my entire family and my parent were the only ones that showed up. I understand some of them have other obligations, but some were free and just couldn't be bothered to make the trip.

I was kind of upset, but it ended up being fun anyway. I was so focused on the boys I didn't really care who was there.

Summer is so hard. A lot of people have plans that have been made for travel, graduations are big this year as well as communions and everything else going on. I would not look at it as no one wanted to come, just that they did but couldn't!

Plus, the only person they want to come there to see is YOU and your adorable pregnant belly and to celebrate you being a mom soon!

Try not to focus on the people who could not be there, but enjoy the people who are!!

This!! I know exactly how you feel, a lot of my family didn't want to travel the three hours for my wedding, and I was kind of hurt by that fact, but I didn't miss them at all on the actual day!! The people that are coming are going to be so excited for you and its going to be an awesome day to celebrate!!! And just because they aren't able to come, doesn't mean they don't want to be there....

(((HUGS))) !!!!

Both of Hayden's birthday parties were the same way. My 2 baby showers were very similar. But with a smaller amount of people, I found it to be more intimate. You could talk to everyone and didn't feel like I was being pulled in 50 different directions. It will still be a wonderful party celebrating your newest addition.

I had 2 friends at my shower and the only family was my mom, and my 2 sisters.

Not to sound like a total loser, but I have no friends down here. All my friends are in NY. The people that did come to my shower, were "friends" by default. Meaning, they are my sister's neighbors/friends that I have come to know through her (I never talk on the phone with any of them like I do my friends in NY, don't really hang out with them unless it's a girls night and my sister is there too). I kind of consider them friends, but if my sister didn't know them, then I wouldn't either.

My BFF flew down from NY and surprised me.

I had a super small shower too. I had my sister, my MIL, and just 8 friends. I actually liked that it was so small and intimate!
