My birthday party was tonight and only 1 friend out of 14 should up?

Question

i just had my 17th b-day party tonight. i invited 20 friends, 14 said they could come. (ive known all these ppl for all my high school years and its my final birthday before we all separate for college)
my best friend comes about 10 min. late.... but 3hours pass, no one else comes. i called 3 of them, but their parents all said "they went out". i sent my friend home early and ive been crying ever since. what do u guys think i should say to them when i see them again?

Answer 1

I am really sorry that Ppl didn't SHOW up. I've had this happen when I was younger.

This one is kinda awkward...If it were me I would let them come up to me and tell me why they didn't come.But I think you should go up to those people and ask them or else your going to sit and wonder for a long time because they might not come up to you! So don't get drama'd out just ask them like "Hey I remember giving you an invite to my 17th just wondering why you didn't show up".

Good luck with it.

Answer 2

What kind of invitation did you use? Was it a written invitation with all the details, and requiring a response, or a casual "hey, wanna come round tonight?" If the second kind, that's not really a proper invitation and you can't expect much with that. If the former kind - I'd say you invited the wrong people. Anyone who doesn't answer a 'proper' invitation, doesn't deserve one. If it was this kind of invitation and you didn't get responses by the deadline, you shouldn't have been surprised and should have made other arrangements instead of sitting around hoping they'd show up.
I notice you say "14 said they could come", but how many said they "would" come? It may not seem cool - but do it in writing - and get answers in writing too.
When you see these people again, if the subject comes up just say "My friends and I had a great night". No need to say anything else. You and your friend WERE at the party - the others aren't your friends.

say nothing it was probably done on purpose to upset you don't let them or anyone do that to you , just pass by when they are present as if they did not exsist and if called by them just keep going as if you, were in a hurry and can't give them the time of you're day until they get the message and apologize for their unconsiderate behavior. There is no excuse they knew you was home why not call at least with a lame excuse which is better tan no calls. look to make better friends when you're in college I Iguess these friends are still in a childish mindset. good luck in school.I would also like to wish you avery happy belated birthday I know the future ones will be much more exicting just you wait and see you're just starting out in life enjoy.

Ooooh, it somewhat is a troublesome one. i assume it may count on no count if or not you suspect your sister while she says she would not ideas in case you do not attend her bachelorette occasion- (I even have 3 sisters, and that i understand that all of them could ideas whether they pronounced they did not:)) Is it obtainable which you would be able to do the two? could you have the 1st birthday occasion interior the afternoon and then attend area of her stagette later interior the nighttime? i'm assuming it is going to bypass all nighttime! that would artwork. i substitute into in basic terms at a 1st birthday occasion this previous weekend that ran from 11:30-3:00 p.m. yet another determination- could you do your daughter's occasion on the Sunday, June 8th as a substitute? I accept as true with you on not wanting to do it the weekend of dad's Day. (quite if it somewhat is your first toddler, it is going to likely be your hubby's first). i'm hoping you artwork issues out! ultimate of success to you!

Answer 5

I feel your pain. My boyfriends past birthday party was at a restaurant and only 3 people came and those three people were older people...old enough to be our parents! He fumed for several days but eventually got over it. I'd ask the people who said they would come, why they didn't show up and why they didn't tell you that they weren't coming. If you love them though, you'll forgive them and move on. I'd definately fume though and expect them to make it up to you somehow.

Answer 6

I honestly wouldn't say 'anything' to them, and I certainly
wouldn't consider them my friends.
REAL friends would have been there, especially after telling
you they would be.
You certainly picked yourself a bunch of losers for friends.
From now on (at school) act as though nothing happened,
then act as though you don't even know them.
I'M BEING VERY SERIOUS ABOUT IT TOO!!!
I would never call someone my friend again, not after what
they did.
Like the old saying goes, "You always find out who your real
friends are eventually" and they are NOT real friends..

Answer 7

I bet you're feeling bad about this. But, it's not about the Quantity its Quality. I have very few friends and millions of acquaintances. Love those who love you... all the rest will fall by the wayside. Trust this advice,because I'm 37 and been there.. done that. Take care hon.

Answer 8

Damn...that is really sad.If it was me, I would be cursing every single person who didnt come. Well i know that all those people are not your friends if they would set you up like that and make you cry. The real friend who was nice too come was that one person that came. Now thats a real friend.

Answer 9

I feel you, i once had a party and nobody showed up. Let them explain to you why they didn't come, and that'll show you real friends if they just offer the informaion without you having to force it out of them

Answer 10

Say nothing to them...At least one showed up, just talk to that one...Sorry you had a sucky birthday...
Happy Birthday toooooooooooooo yooooooooooooou...im singing for ya...
