NEED ADVICE - Cancelled shower update....

Ok please what would you do?

My shower was supposed to be on Sunday - we cancelled due to the weather. Now, I can re-schedule for this weekend, but will lose a few people in the process because of the short notice. I can't do the weekend after because I have another party. And then we are at Christmas. My due date is January 25th, and I really dont' want to do it in January because I feel like it's too close.....is it though?
Should I just do it this weekend and lose a few people? Should I do it in the beginning of January? Should I just skip it all together and just have a nice Christening party (which I was going to do anyway....)

I dont' know what to do. I mean, gifts have been purchased for me....I just don't know what is appropriate? Any help would be appreciated and FAST! I need to let the restaurant know.

(I lose around $400 if I cancel )

ETA:

Update as of this afternoon: We are going ahead with it on Sunday - we lose about 10 people, but the restaurant was able to give me a smaller room and I only have to guarantee 25 people so it should be okay. I am bummed my mom wont' be there, but my sisters will be and I am sure it will be lovely. I really didnt' want baby's Bella's first party to be cancelled! (oh hey!!! I just called her Bella!!!!!.....interesting.....)

Thanks for all your advice, and for listening to me moan. I kind of got grumpy pants on about this and just hate parties for me and get all weird, but I feel a lot better and my DH family is so into it - they are very cute. I;ll let you know how it all turns out in the end!

If that were me I'd want to reschedule for this weekend - any closer to the holidays would be too insane, and I agree January will be too late. I'm sure by then you're going to want to focus on other things.

For those that will miss the shower, I'm sure they'll try and visit you to say hello and drop off their gifts at another time

I would do it this weekend. If they already have gifts for you, I am sure they will send them to you.

I would vote for this weekend too. Everyone will understand why you needed to reschedule and Im sure no one wants you to miss out on the baby shower fun.

I would do it Jan 3 if you feel that it is important to have everyone there. If you feel that you will be too uncomfortable on Jan 3 than I guess you should do it next week..
I don't think I just helped! sorry!

I vote this weekend too. You never know if the baby decides to make an early arrival. Plus at the end you are soooo tired

I vote for the first weekend in January... that way it gives your guests more notice.

Edited because I screwed up my dates...

This weekend, in case of early arrival, or last minute stuff before the baby's arrival. Hope it works out.

Ditto to what Stef said I am glad you decided to re-schedule (for Bella's sake, of course! )
