    The RSVPs are coming in for my Bachelorette and not a lot of people are going to be able to attend. It looks like we picked a weekend that a lot of people had conflicts already! :(

    I know I shouldn't feel bad, but I do! I really wanted to have a great night with all my friends. Okay, that's enough whining for now. Ha! :)

    :( I only had 4 people show up for my party and it was great. I wanted more there... but it was so laid back, no drama, no worries. It was awesome.

    I hope you have a great time!!

    im sure it will still be fun! i ended up not even having one...we just had a little get together thursday night before the wedding with friends and whoever could make it in town early. It wasnt a huge group but still tons of fun!

    Thanks :) I'm feeling a bit better now. I think it will just have to be what we make of it!

    is it out of town?  i know i usually cant afford to go to big out of town bachelorettes, but that certainly doesnt mean i dont want to be there!  try not to be hurt, i tend to think smaller gatherings with fewer people are more intimate and personal anyways.

    @Ms. Meowerson: Love your name! Anyway, it is in-town for the majority of us, but out of town for a few. I was expecting the out of towners not to come, but it's the in-towners that also have conflicts :(  I think you are right about a smaller gathering though.

    I felt the same way - there's going to be 5 at mine.  But you know what, it makes it more intimate and you can interact more with each of those girls that come.  Have fun!!

    @sparkles_10: I know how you feel. am worried as well. Its so hard picking what weekend to have it. We originally planned for the Saturday two weeks before the wedding and then my fiance and I got invitations to to a party and a shower for the same weekend. I can't change it to three weeks before the wedding because its Easter weekend and one week before the wedding is Mothers Day! We haven't sent invitations out so having it four weeks from the wedding would be only two weeks from now! Also, I know my one sister is going on vacation that weekend. Now I guess we are back to the original date and we'll have to miss the party and shower we were invited to.

    I had a bachelorette party of two----my MOH and I.  I absolutely did not want a "party."  Though this is not an option for most people, we went to an all-inclusive resort in Cabo for a week.  Since it was September, the cost was very affordable.

    My point is this....."turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters."  And one close friend was more precious than a dozen acquaintences.

    @gvsusara: this is so true! I just wish my sister/MOH could come. She only lives three hours away in D.C. but she says she has to work.

    I'm having a spa day w/ less than 10 ppl.  Primarily it will be my sisters and a couple of close girlfriends.  I wanted something more chill.

    If it makes you feel better, I didn't have one because no one could get it together.  I had a spa day by myself to get waxed and mani/pedi.

    My shower was really pathetic too.
