[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even know why I am posting this but I just feel really bad. I am hosting a baby shower for my best friend. She's 42 and has been trying to have a baby for a very long time. So, this is kind of big event and she and her husband are financially struggling a bit and can actually use the shower.

The baby shower is out of town and I do not know many of her friends. Her family is not close to where she lives, so it's not like I can count on them to "fill the room." I sent out invitations, via Evite (I know, I know, but my friend is kind of flaky and does not know anyone's physical address and is too scattered to get them in time). So far, only one person has said yes and about 10 have said no. I invited a total of 27 people, including some family members that are probably not going to go.

So, in the event (hopefully unlikely) that only 2 people out of the 27 can make it, I don't cancel it, right? I just put on a brave, happy face for her and act like nothing is amiss? What would you do-would you make a light hearted quip to her? Ignore the fact that only 2 people are coming? Change the venue to a restaurant or something more intimate (I would happily pay to make this a special event for her)? It's getting to the point where I dread looking at the Evite rsvp responses![/quote]
 
If only two show up, you still go on with the party and maybe it is a good idea to go to a nice restaurant.  Just concentrate on her and how wonderful this is for her and it will turn out fine.  Best of luck to her and she is lucky to have such a good friend in you.[/quote]
