Did it seem odd that just about the only people at Eric's party were his immediate family, a few teachers, and his little brother’s two friends?

Good point! Perhaps all of Eric's peers were either unavailable and/or too mad at him to want to attend the party (or the show didn't want to pay/write for any non-regulars to be part of it).
