cancelling my baby shower

One of my friends was throwing me a baby shower. Supposed to be this saturday the 23. but my close friends cant come and no one else has rsvpd yet. i decided that its better just to cancel it than have a shower with like 2-3 people that im not even that close with. Im still having a family shower, which will only be like 6 people. its just depressing. i had been so excited for weeks and all my friends let me down.

I had my baby shower. I invited about 30 people and only 15 showed. I was actually glad because you get over whelmed with all the people there. Feeling obligated to talk to everyone. The only people who came.afe the important people. I was even ready to kick my best friend out because she was being a negative Nancy the whole time.

My baby shower was last week out of 50 only about 10 people went and only 2 of my friends went, however its my first baby so I tried making the best out of it, its depressing but its nice to know who actually cared enough to make time for you :)

Yeah, my baby shower was 2 weeks ago. I didn't make anyone RSVP, but I invited almost a hundred ppl and only like 30 showed up. Even tho i got most of what I needed I was still pretty upset because me and my bf planned and paid for everything ourselves. Next baby definitely not having a shower lol
