I shouldnt be disappointed ...

I'm sure that those who can't make it really wanted to. A smaller shower lets you talk to everyone and you won't spend tons of time having to open all your gifts... I'm dreading that part...

You'll have a blast and you'll get to see everyone and enjoy their company at your wedding!

Don't let it bother you. The same thing happened to me, and at first I was really upset that so many of my friends couldn't make it. But during the shower I didn't care at all because I looked around and there were so many people there who cared about me.

This is just my opinion, but having a small shower can be really nice because you will actually get a chance to talk to everyone.

Don't stress about it, you will have a GREAT time!

that's kinda selfish of them. more than half the guests at mine were OOT (FH's entire family is OOT) and there were just about 40 people there total.

you're still going to have a wonderful time though. i'm glad she let you know it would be small so that you wouldn't be expecting more.
