If you make a Sheva Brachos meal for a new Chosson and Kallah and your Panim Chadashos (new person) does not show up, can you still say the Sheva Brachos?

Especially if it's Shabbos or Yom Tov, some have the minhag to say it anyway (Shulchan Aruch Even Ha'ezer 62:8). The "Asher Barah" blessing may be said even if there are no Panim Chadashos (62:7). |

Not an authoritative answer at all, but: I have known cases where a sheva b'rachos host would call around to various people to find a last-minute "panim chadashos". As always, CYLOR. |
