Thinking about calling off my baby shower...
So my mother and sister in law have been putting together my baby shower since June and its supposed to be July 26th. The invites they sent out requires the guest to rsvp by Saturday needless to say none of the people from my side have done so... This really pisses me off and makes me sad because I try and support ppl any way possible and I don't really expect it in return but I mean it would be nice if ppl would be there for me too... We all need somebody. But at the same time none of this surprises me... I'm so ready to call it off but that wouldn't be fair to my in-laws they've done so much hardwork on this but its just embarrassing that ppl in my life could care that much less for me... Sorry to rant here but this is really getting to me... but then again maybe its the hormones.
People will show. I don't know anyone who actually RSVPs besides me. My bfs entire family doesn't do it. I find it easier a week before to just email everyone and ask if they're coming that's what I'm going to do.
Same as above, people just don't formally RSVP often enough. I only got like two rsvps for our wedding and everyone ended up showing up. You can't rely on that for accuracy
People are bad for RSVPing these days. Enjoy your party no matter how many people show up. Celebrate the new life! Don't worry about the rest.
They are might just be rude and impolite. They might think since they are your family they don't have to rsvp. The one I threw for my sister in law a few months ago no one rsvp and they all came. I had a Crap load of games planned and enough food for an army took a month or more to plan it. I thought it was all for nothing then on the day people started showing up and they all came plus a few extra. Don't cancel your day to celebrate you upcomming birth of a wonderful baby. Good luck.
That happened to me too. I'm always there for my family..literally!!! I NEVER tell then no. I had a baby shower planned for my 3rd son and no one showed up from my family...my friend drove 5hrs from out of state Iwas going to ccancel it that day but my Mom said fuckget who doesn't show, it's about who does show n care. We still had Fun. After that I had a wedding last year and my sisters were supposed to be in it but again...no one even came to my wedding except my Mom n Lil brother who ended up walkingme down. Now my sister is getting married n want me to b n it...but I'm not.
N e who, I say don't cancel it, but be mindful of when thParenthood don't come through for you.

I agree don't cancel. It's all for the baby. Don't let that get in the way for the ppl that really support you and the baby. Send a reminder and if they don't show nor call you can just cut them off until your hormones are stable enough to deal with them. For right now enjoy those who are there and have fun at your baby shower!
Maybe they'll just show up...
Thanks ladies I'm trying not to stress it... It just hurt my feelings because I'm already having a awkward time dealing with ppl because I've seen a lot of true colors since I found out I was pregnant and so the ppl I invited I expected to understand that they're the "chosen ones" so to speak and be happy to partake in this celebration.
Same here no rsvp yet but I know people will show! Don't cancel u never know who will suprise u!
Don't call it off. If ur family misses out there loss!! Maybe they just arnt rsvping I bet some show up. No worries
I'd try not to stress. I didn't bother with a baby shower for either of my pregnancies but from experience with my wedding, people are hopeless are rsvp'ing and family are the worse. I got so stressed in the lead up trying to get an answer out of people whether they were coming or not. Hopefully they are just being a bit slack with the formalities and are there for you on the day!
No dont call off who shows shows its ur day to eat open presents and dont stress send them all a text reminder babyshower I need rsvp ..for mine I had 11ppl rsvp and not show up so I was mad ppl can be so rude but dont cancel ok
