Oh I agree. If they said they'd be there, BE THERE. If they said "We'll
try" or "We'll seeeeeeeeeee" and they knew it was just a sales pitch
type event, they probably kinda blew it off thinking no one would notice
they're missing? Not necessarily nice, yet not quite as bad as ditching
out of a "social only" party, IMO. People dislike sales/volunteer events
given under the guise of a social event, bottom line.
Talk to any Tupperware/Amway/Pampered Chef hostess who ever tried to
call these functions "parties" and you'll probably hear how common it is
to be stood up.
