my feelings are so hurt and i am crushed that this is whats going on on my babies 1st bay!!!

 

ohhh ems,
I don't know what to say except :hug99: to you! You have really had a tough time. I guess it isn't quantity but quality that counts maybe ardon: Maybe someone else can offer you some better advice.

 

Our babies are having their party on the same day . I'm worried that the exact same thing is going to happen to us. As soon as we had our babies, our friends started dropping like flies. My feelings would be hurt too. I'm so sorry they did this to you. I guess other people just don't experience the same excitedness that we do about big events in our babies' lives (especially those without children it is even harder for them to relate).

I'm sorry!! That is really to bad, wish I could do something for you!

 

I would not reschedule. I would just let the family that finds it important to be there to be there. I would make it spectacular for the twins first birthday and as fun for them as possible. Really, if they do not find it important to be there on their special day do you think changing it will change their attitude? Just make it great for them...... :hug99: to you and I hope it works out the way you want it.

 

I don't have any words to make you feel better, but I am sorry that they are making you feel this way. :hug99:

I was thinking the exact same thing. So sorry that they aren't seeing it as big a deal as it really is. I mean, twins turning one - that's cause for a HUGE celebration and I think you will do just that with the ones that want to be there with you!

 

I would NOT reschedule the party. If they don't care enough to be there, then that's their loss. I agree with the others. It's a very special occasion, so you should only have people there who really care!

 

:hug99:s! If you already have everything set for the 5th, have the party the 5th! The boys will have a fun time regardless! The others that can't come can make it up to them later(with lots of presents of course!), and so they will have a party that will last for days! They will love it! :hug99:

 

the babies will not know any different -- it's the b-day parties when they are 5 and on that really matter to them. Have the party and enjoy yourself and be psyched that it won't cost you much.

Cheers

Oh I'm sorry!!
We're kinda in the same boat - we live in a town where everyone leaves in the summer (rural Alaska), so NOBODY that we know is going to be here on June 1st for our 1st birthday. Even my parents are leaving here in 2 weeks. We are just going to live it up and have a blast on our own and hopefully they'll send presents

My thoughts as well!

 

hey girls i just wanted to give a little update on the party!!! well we had it on sat and it was great!!! more people accually showed than what i thought and they got so many presents. theire favorite is the ball pit but...... the put a hole in it about 15 mins after i opned it lol.they had a great time!!!!!!!

 

I am sorry your family is not making this a priority...that sucks!! However, if it is any consolation...your babies may have a better time if there are less people there. I am actually hoping some of our family won't be able to make it because it takes the kids awhile to adjust to large groups, and typically have more fun and seem less stressed if there are less people. It is their party after all. I wouldn't worry, as long as you are there, your babies will have a great time!! Sorry you have to deal with this.

 

So glad to hear it went well and that the boys had fun!

 

:banana: :birthday:
I am glad that they had a great time !!!
