My family and my 40th birthday

I'm feeling a bit fed up. I am the 3rd of 4 children. I have organised a party to celebrate my 40th at the end of May. Because all of my family will have to travel I've asked them to keep the date since the beginning of the year. For my brothers respective celebrations we all travelled to London to join in with what they had arranged.
I live near Southampton. My munis local to me. 1 brother lives in Wales, the other in Cambridgeshire, my sister in Manchester and my Dad, Aunt and cousins in London. So far my dad is unlikely to be able to come because it clashes with a concert his girlfriend has paid for for his Christmas present. My Aunt and cousins are not sure because the party is on a Friday eve and they'll be working (I'm 1 1/2 hours fromLondon) and today 1 brother said he might not be able to come as my sister has decided to organise her sons christening for the following weekend in Manchester. My brother lives in Wales and would find it hard to travel to both. My other brother has yet to let me know if he can come. I've tried phoning my sister to see if she will reconsider the date but she must be out. So I'm left feeling rather dejected and sorry for myself. I was hoping you lovely people would cheer me up.
