Work colleagues are not your friends

So I've obviously been naive again. Work in a nice team and got a big birthday coming up. Floated some dates with team members and booked a place for a party. Obviously booked it for friends and family too but with rough numbers including team members. As the date has got nearer most of the team aren't coming. Reasons such as they've double booked, too busy etc so not my numbers ate looking low. Work colleagues are not your friends

Will 50 people plus 10 kids look sad in a room that usually holds 100?

Not if everyone is having fun which I'm sure they will. 😊

I don’t know this amount of people @TheSassyOpalMember

You sound lucky to have so many people you cherish in your life.

Enjoy the party and stop worrying about numbers and just appreciate everyone who comes and have a great time.
