Party Nerves?!

[laura_<3]

It's my 21st birthday party on Saturday and I'm so nervous. I keep having visions of me sitting in the room all by myself in the dark A lot of my friends are away at uni so I've only got around 30 of my friends coming and around 60 are family/family friends. I'm worrying that this doesn't seem like a lot of people and that it'll be embarassing if the room looks empty

Everyone keeps telling me not to worry and to enjoy my birthday, which I'm sure I will on the day but I can't help feeling very nervous at the moment. Has anyone else felt like this before?

Happy birthday! I'm sure you'll have a great turn out, but I definiatly know the feeling, I guess you've just got to expect that a fair amount won't end up coming. But as long as the most important ones to you show up that's all that matters.

Have a fab 21st birthday Laura, and I'm absolutely sure that you'll have a great time. Don't forget to post some piccies too

Have fun

You will have a fantastic time. As long as your close family and friends are there that's all that matters. A handful of close family/friends can make any party rock!

If the rest don't turn up it looks bad on THEM not you. If I've ever been anywhere and it's been a poor turnout people have only ever commented on the people who haven't turned up - never the host.

I'm sure everyone will be there and you will have an amazing party. Oh to be 21 again!

I'm sure everyone who's ever had a party will have felt the same Laura Try not to worry too much, people will come to your party and you'll have a great time regardless of how many are actually there!

Have a great 21st!

Yeah dont worry! My friend had his 21st a few weeks back and he was saying exactly the same thing, as it turned out quite alot of people turned up, but the party didnt get proper going until a lot of people had gone and it was just his good mates and his family left, we all got really drunk and everyone was up dancing for hours and having a good time....so its not always the amount that is there, its the quality of the people!

Thanks again

Honestly its normal to feel like that, I love throwing parties and i get the fear every time, that no one will come, and as others have said sometimes it works out better with less people as you have a really good giggle. The best part is we had such a good time in July that the ones that did make the effort were telling all the ones that didnt how fab it was, we partied till 3, they missed out on an awesome night, they looked a tad gutted

Laura, i promise it will all work out and you will have a fabulous night, how ever many people you have, big or small.
Right now i have anxieties about my halloween party so i do know how you feel
