G's first birthday - so sad

Gabrielle's first birthday is next week.  We had a little party planned for next Saturday.  Nothing terribly extravagant, but I just the last of the RSVPs today.  No one can come.  No one.  I'm so upset about this.  I know we'll do something with just the three of us, but come on.  After all the baby showers and kid's bdays and everything over the years, no one can come?  It was bad enough that my baby shower was cancelled.  But this, too?

Re: G's first birthday - so sad

  • Aw, honey, I'm so sorry.  Sad  That'd make me sad, too!!!  And, if I remember correctly, you don't have family in town - is that right??

    I'm so sorry this happened, and really hope it doesn't put too much of a damper on the day.  Hopefully you can come up with some extra-special for the 3 of you to do.  (((Hugs))))

  • What?!? Oh honey, this breaks my heart. I'm so, so sorry. ((HUGS))
  • Aw, I'd be sad too.  I'm so sorry.  What a letdown.  :(

  • I don't know how you wouldn't be hurt and upset=(

    {{hugs}}

    Can you plan something a little bit bigger for all 3 of you? For example on their actual birthday we went to a kids place and we all just played and had a blast!

    I'm sorry

  • No one at all? Man, I'm really sorry, I would be extremely sad too. Any possibility of postponing a week or so and seeing if people are free then? Either way, I hope you can figure out a fun way to celebrate whether there are others there or only the 3 of you.

  • Oh, I am so sorry. I tried to do a big first bday party for both girls so I know I would be super disappointed and probably a little hurt if noone ended up coming.

    But you can make this a special day with jsut the 3 of you.  Take lots of pictures and love on your little girl.

    Happy First Birthday!

  • That is sad. Boo! Grant and I would be thrilled to help celebrate, if you'd like company!! Just let us know! It does suck that folks are busy and can't make her party.

      this!!  I'm so sorry!!  is it just a really bad day for them?  And I like Bab's idea of going all out for the three of you :)  you shoudl do that anyways!
  • No one?!   I am truly sorry and almost in tears for you.   I like Schmoodle's idea of maybe postponing it another week and see if people are free then.  

    Wow I would be so so so hurt and upset if I were in your shoes.

  • oh no..I would be so sad too :(

    is a mutual friend having something on the same day or some big event going that no one at all can come? I say this because if so, than maybe its worth changing your date?

    In the end...the three of you can still celebrate and still make a special day out of it....

  • Ugh!  I would be crushed!

    I totally agree with the suggestion that you guys should plan something bigger for the 3 of you to do.  Maybe a weekend away?  Or a trip to the Building Museum?  Or another museum?

    I hate that no one can come.  That makes me sad!

  • That stinks!!! I m so sorry,  I would be so dissappointed too.  I am sure that the 3 of you will be able to find something wonderful to do. 
    ****
  • I'm sorry.  That is so upsetting.  I know that the 3 of you will have a wonderful day nonetheless but it still is not fair.
  • That's awful!  I am so sorry that no one can make it. 

    There were quite a few people who couldn't make it to our kids' party in the summer with people being away on vacation.  I would be so disappointed if no one had come.

    I agree with everyone else...Try and do something extra special with just the three of you.

    (hugs)

     

  • Oh I am so sorry. I am sure you will have fun regardless, it will still be special. Hugs!

    I'm totally bummed for you.  We don't have a ton of friends down here anymore, and have already discussed having A's first bday up at my parents, b/c I think we could have the same situation.  Hope you are able to enjoy her day regardless!

  • Unbelievable. I am truly sorry.  I'd plan something a little extra special for the three of you!  Claire's first birthday party was snowed out last year (2 ft of snow) and our dog ate her cake off of the counter.  We also had a ton of friends RSVP no prior to the announcement of the Blizzard of 2010.  Boo to them!

  • Awww, I'd be really sad too!  I know the three of you will have a fantastic time celebrating even if it's not the day you had originally planned.
