Exactly @sarinunez those that matter will be there or have a valid excuse for not

I was more bothered about people not showing or having common the courtesy to tell me they weren't coming. I invited 100 people and showed. Quality over quantity is my motto, the gifts were the added bonus... I really just wanted to see all my family since we're spread out.

I don't know what you mean lol I'm a little confused on they way you wrote that Hahahah but I'm agreeing with you.

Then one should probably reevaluate the people in the life.... Why would I even want someone to come if that's all they're doing? But I would've bought those decorations whether they came or not, and had made food whether they came or not so why does those few people get to dictate the love of other people? @valerie_jean

Amennnnnn. I wanted people to come support and celebrate, not bring gifts. BUT I can see where others are coming from- like you spend all this money for decorations, food, etc and they come to eat and leave. That's upsetting too.
