re: People are so funny...

I had mine yesterday. My mom and aunt put a good amount of effort and money into it. We invited close to 40 people. And only about 12 showed all together. Only half of those that showed were family. We wasn't really sure how many was going to come b/c only 4 people RSVP'd, two of which actually showed up. I know my mom was kind of upset about it. She wanted it to be a big event for me. I got a few small things, but not near as much as I hoped for. Oh well. We still had a nice time even though hardly anybody showed up.
