I moved from east to west coast 6 months ago and i am going to my hometown for the holidays. So all my friends and family who are invited to the wedding live on the east coast and so the only time to have a bridal shower is between christmas and new years. really sucky timing to have a wedding event.i always said that i knew it was bad timing and no one's fault, and that as a result i would be happy with whoever showed up and how small the party was.but now that its getting closer and half my bridesmaids can't be there. well, i can't help feeling bummed about it. i chose to have my shower on Dec. 26th, thinking its a day off (in Canada it is) and so people would be free. But i didn't consider that people go out of town for xmas to visit family and aren't coming back until a few days after xmas.So on the 26th, 3 of my BMs can't be there. My MOH (sister) is of course there as she is organizing it. and one of my BMs (who is my best friend above the others) will be there.but then we also invited like 25 other people and so far only 7 have RSVP'd (and that includes the ones i mentioned already plus my mom, aunt, + family friend -who can come any weekend).Some people are saying i should have had the shower on Jan. 2nd, as more people would be back in town. Now i am afraid they are right. but invitations have been sent. My sister says she can email/call everyone to let them know the change of date. but i am not sure if i should change the date or keep it as it is.....help!!
