Oh did I over prepare!!
We bought enough food to feed 50... I bought a couple of crafts for all the kids to do... I planned a really cool present exchange and picked out just the right book to read to everyone...I even made sure I had extra gifts in case someone forgot to bring one...I spent a lot of time compiling just the right play-list of songs that would please the majority...John and I stayed up until 2am preparing for everything...
It.... was.... horrible!
I expected approximately 18 moms and 25 kids to come. Within hours of the party... I had 13 cancellations and then 2 no-shows.
Yep.
THREE people showed up!!!
Wow.
The money wasted nearly makes me cry. I spent over $250 on this party with food, supplies, crafts, presents...
and as the story usually goes.... I didn't really have the money to spend in the first place..
Well...
Lesson Learned
