Just off the top of my head, there were more than "20" no-shows, think about the cost involved, they could have had food & drinks for 40 people rather than 60.

Personal pride, think about throwing a party at your house and a large % of the people do not show up, your first reaction is what did you do wrong.

Respect, very disrespectful to say that you are going to attend an event & then pull out with no good reason.

I could go on, but, maybe you get my point.

Now for the people that showed up, we had a blast........
