im making a small party for my child and inviting only family. most pple said theyd come but now its somehow inconveniencing everyone and no one is coming.
question should I fix the date just to have them there or should I not care and still go about the party. (wanted it to be on her actual bday)

If truly no one is coming, it won't be a party. If there is a date that is better for most of your family, change the date of the party (once). Don't try to please absolutely everyone by changing the date repeatedly until you find the magic day; it probably doesn't exist.
If some people are able to come on the original date, go ahead and have a smaller gathering on that day if that is the best time for you.

I think it depends on the age of the child, the purpose of the party and who will be there if "no one" comes.
If you have a bunch of other kids and your dd is turning one or two, she'll be very happy with just you guys.
If your dd is an only child who's turning 10 and she wanted bubby, zeidy, sabba, savta, and all the aunts, uncles and cousins to join in the celebration - well, then she'll be disappointed if those people can't make it.
Another question, OP, is whether the date is just an excuse and if those people really would come if you change the date.
Mazel tov and lots of nachas!

supposedly they would come if I changed the date.
I dont want to for few reasons
1- my kid is young she doesnt even know the difference so I want it to be small. aka not drive myself nuts making everyone else happy when she wont even remember. though I think it would still b nice to have a small gathering.
2-I wanted it to be on her actual bday
3-I understand it may not be the best time, but the party isnt about the guests and I think pple lose track of that sometimes and try to make it about them and a time thats good for them.
at the same time though it would be nice to have pple.
