I had a bridal shower this past weekend and only 4 guests came. The shower started at 6 pm and by 6:30 only 1 person had shown up. then 1 hour later, 3 more came. i was so embarrased and hurt by this. there were still a few people there including my friend who threw the shower, her mother, and my mother. it was horrible to just sit there by myself waiting on people to show up. has this ever happened to anyone?

only 3 or 4 people regretted and 21 were invited.

That's horrible. This never happened to me, because i never had a shower, but those who didn't come better have a great excuse for not coming. I'd be pissed at them, because you'd think people that people who truly did care for you would come to something that important.

Was it a come and go shower? What were the hours that were set. A lot of showers now a days are come and go. Say for instance the invitations say from 1:00PM until 5:00 PM. That way it gives the people that work or have other things going on the same day to attend both. If this wasn't the case, then you are correct by feeling the way you do. Next time put a RSVP on the invitation. Good luck in your marriage.

Sounds like it was poorly planned - if you want 10 guests - invite 20 if you want 20 invite 40....how soon before the shower did they send invites? They should have given a months notice - so that people could figure their schedules and normally people RSVP so I am sure that your friend must have known that only 4 were showing. have another one and invite different people.

Yes..its happened to the best of us. But you know what...the ones that did show are your true friends..rmember this and cherish them. I feel for ya..i know it hurts..but dont take it personal...its them not you that has the problems...you are a bigger and better person to have found a few real friends.The ones that dodnt show..have personal problems ..obviosly..thats a rude crude thing to do...so leave them alone.

That by far is the rudest thing that anyone can do to a human. Did they RSVP? I cannot fathom anyone doing that it is just terrible. Are these people invited to the wedding? Why don't you, your family, maid of honor and her family just go to a church and get married and after you all go to a nice place for dinner. Oh and of course you grooms family? Or didn't they come either? His mother? oh my gosh ...GO ELOPE..save yourself a pile of money....my heart goes out to you....

well its simple...the people that didn't show up aren't your friends...and its better to have no friends than fake ones.
Cheer up.
