Bachelorette worries

Hello,
I was looking for some advice. I have moved home within the last 2 years due to family illnesses and my friendship groups have dwindled a bit since my move. I’ve tried to keep up contacts and plan meet ups. My MoH has been planning my Bachelorette and has asked that I have no involvement in the planning as a surprise. I have three bridesmaids in total. I gave her the name and numbers of people I would of loved to come and out of all of them, which was 15, no one is coming. My sister in law has bailed also. The thing is I’ve made a big effort to travel out to people since I’ve moved home and show up for events. But I’ve not had anyone give me the support back. I also thought it would be nice for a bit of a catch up. I’m a bit shattered.
My mother and mother in law want to have dinner as a small thing with them so they want to be separate. My MoH has asked that I invite some work colleagues that I’ve gotten close with.I’m feeling a bit low and embarrassed. Im a bit of an introvert so was feeling nervous already about it. Do I consider going ahead with it? Or should I have something smaller with my bridesmaids?

I'm also introverted and have moved around a lot. Even if it wasn't a logistical issue for my Bachelorette, I wouldn't invite anybody but my absolute closest. So bridesmaids and three extra work friends. Plus it's not a "shower" so I don't think many people are required or even preferred... of course it's all about how you feel, but I'd keep it an intimate group. Sorry about the one sidedness you're feeling lately. Hope things look up for you!

I’ve been in several wedding parties, where the bride/groom only invited their wedding party to their bachelorette/bachelor parties. I’ve also been to bridal showers that had a small guest count. I actually preferred the smaller settings, as I felt like we weren’t all talking over each other, we all had ample time to talk to the bride or other guests, in most cases we already all knew each other (and/or could get to know one another in a more comfortable setting), we didn’t have to worry about having enough space or time for activities, etc.

Since a far amount of people don't get along who would be attending my MOH planned a sleepover at an Airbnb. Anyone who is uncomfortable or unable due to the date is just going to have a chill night with me. I just want to spend time with them. Your bachelorette party should make you happy. I am sorry people will not be attending. Hopefully you will get to enjoy something before your wedding!
