bridal shower blues

So my bridal shower was on saturday october 3. i got all dolled up and went to my sis/MOH house. we finished decorating about 3:10 the party was to start at 3:00. i waited and waited nobody came i waited and waited some more no one. we waited till 6:30. no one ever showed. My sister was there and my mom and my 2 best friends. i brought fh's mom.not a single other person came. needless to say i am devastated. i feel so unimportant. i thiught the bridal shower was supposed to be a big deal and now i can never have that special day back.

Wow did you not have people RSVP? Only half of my bridal/bachlorette party showed up. We still ended up having a good time, but I was bummed that half of my "friends" just didnt show up.

Awe I am so sorry. I had a couple issues with my bridal shower. I had about 6 people rsvp and not show up. I was so nervous about it and stressed I am happy I can relax now! Here is the thing people can be rude. They don't get how important these things are to us. Just forget them... there day will come and they will see how crappy it feels to be let down like that.

That really sucks. I wonder if the date was a conflict for a lot of people or something. Sorry.

Very sorry to hear that, but at least now you know you're not alone.  About 3/4 of the people that were invited to my shower either couldn't come, or didn't RSVP and didn't show (and couldn't be reached by phone in time).  I think if we'd have done something at someone's house it would've been fine, but my MOH rented a small hall and let's just say it felt a little empty.  I was very grateful for those that did show and we really did have a nice time, but I did feel bad for my WP that put so much work into it, only to have a handful of people show.

the invites went out 2 weeks in advance and i posted reminders on social networks i even asked people if they were coming and they all said yes! i just feel  lower than dirt.

I would not say nobody came. you had your sister and 2 best friends and mom and FMIL that is 5 people who came Focus on that

something similar happened at my daughter's shower......it was uncomfortable but we focused on the ones that did come. However it was tough thinking about all the times she went the extra mile for friends.....I hurt for you and know that this has been upsetting for you. I think a lot of times people just don't think about the consequences of their actions....esp if they RSVPed.

AWE. I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you had a good time with those that did show/come.

W O W.  Since Saturday, has anyone contacted you to say why they didn't attend?  Because if there wasn't a real reason to blow off your bridal shower, I would do some un-friending on those social networks you use to communicate with these people...

Oh my god, I am so sorry! I can't believe that people would do that to you! I really hope that someone throws you another shower....that was SO rude!Angela

I am so sorry!  I can understand why you would be upset!  you are not alone though! It sounds like the people who should be most important to you and care for you the most were there though.  Still, you have right to be upset, but it was their loss not yours!  keep your chin up!
