Low Bridal Shower RSVPs.

Let me put my attitude aside for a moment and tell you what I really think. At my shower two weeks ago, I had 30 people. I went around and gave each person a hug and a kiss when I got there, and thanked them for coming to celebrate with me. I'm glad I did that before I even had a glass of wine or had a bride sash thrown on me. I tried to mingle and talk to my guests but I kept being pulled in 100 different directions. It was exhausting.

I'm really looking forward to whatever my bridesmaids have planned for my bachelorette party next weekend because there are only 10 people invited (all accepted). I will actually get to enjoy celebrating with my 10 guests.

10 ladies coming to celebrate your special day is a really good size shower. Be grateful that these 10 are able to make it and don't feel sorry for yourself over the other ones. You said it yourself, they had good reasons why they couldn't be there.

Thanks everyone! I think part of the reason for the freakout is that the last shower I went to, the bride -to-be must have had at least 50 people at her shower. (it was nuts).

- and a good point someone made about the small shower having time to talk to everyone! The 50 people shower that I went to, the bride didn't get to talk to everyone, and she didn't know everyone because her mother invited the whole world.

Don't cancel! You'll have a great time

Be thankful. We didn't have a shower.

It is what you make it. If you go in thinking it will be terrible, then it will.

Ten is plenty!!!

You will have a wonder time with those 10 guests... Be happy and enjoy the whole process. However last month, I went to a shower where the bride to be had 110 people and I think it's because she's having a really big wedding (300 guests)

Yeah 10 is still a good fun number! It will go well as long as you are into it

Hi wedding date twin. My shower has about that many people, and it's mostly family. Celebrate with those 10 and have a great time. No need to get upset over lots of people not coming. Appreciate what you have.

@ChocolatierKT I was thinking the same thing!

I'm sure your shower will be lovely. If you go in all upset, the guests who are coming will notice and that might make them feel bad. Enjoy yourself! Big shower or small shower it will still be fun and you'll get to spend time with people who care about you and want to celebrate you.

I think its okay to feel disappointed- you only invited those closest to you, and half of those people can't come. But the spring time is REALLY busy for people, and it sounds like they would come if they could! Don't cancel. Enjoy your shower! Its a really fun, special experience and you don't want to miss out on it. I'm sure its still going to be a really nice time!

Also, please change your avatar to something other than the rings! Thanks!

Focus on the fact that everyone coming is excited to celebrate you at your bridal shower. I can understand a little bit of disappointment, but canceling it would be insulting to those people who are putting love and effort into throwing the party for you - not to mention that those people who did RSVP "yes" have probably already made plans to come to the party. Canceling it might inconvenience them.

I had an even smaller shower than that and it was really lovely.

I understand your disappointment, but please be grateful for your hostess and the people that are planning to attend. Don't cancel.

No. Don't cancel. Doesn't matter if its 20 or 8 people. You can still celebrate this wonderful time and have a blast!!

Think about it this way, if you're having a small wedding then they had a smaller list to work from to begin with due to not inviting people who aren't invited to the wedding. The girl who had 50 people may have had 100 invited. Don't worry about it and get excited about celebrating with those who can come!

It sounds a little gift-grabby that your upset for low attendance. Be grateful 11 people are giving up there free time to spend celebrating you
