No investment meant they had nothing to lose by not showing up.I find that in today's society where an RSVP "Yes" means "Maybe" and "Maybe" means "No" that people's word means very little anymore.
Get some pitchers of beer, split into teams and see who can get the most strikes.Discover your city’s art scene with a group of friends and see if you can find a piece to bring home in order to commemorate the occasion.
OR decide it's their loss, (and it is) and have a fantastic time with the 2 people that are there. How about tiny sandwiches, crumpets and tea? My 30th birthday is when a shift began to happen in my thinking and is actually my most memorable birthday even though I only had two people show up initially.

I always expect a few people to be unable to make it due to last minute emergencies, but ffs. Feel the stress of the past decade melt away as you blend paints and mix shades to create your masterpiece.Invite some friends over, blast some tunes, bring out the Chianti and If your number one headliner happens to be in town during your birthday month, what better way to spend the evening?

/hugYou're awesome, OP. My son kept looking out the window & door for guests, asking when his friends will get here, but nobody ever came. I put it out there, and about 15 people said yes.
