You and your father really NEED to learn to communicate, hon. I do realize that sometimes, we have issues with one of our parents... however -- you CAN talk with your dad.
Let him know you'd like to talk -- ask him if he is willing. Tell him that you'd like to know what you can do to make the relationship between the two of you better. You can tell him it bothers you that the two of you don't communicate well.
As for the party, you can re-ask him about that, too.
take care and have a happy birthday!

Talk to your Dad about why he cancelled the party. Did something happen between the two of you? Did the party grow too big and get out of hand? He had to have had a reason. That's the place to start. Once you know the reason you'll know what to say to him.
If he felt you were inviting too many people, scale it back. If he realized he couldn't afford it, try to come up with an alternative that the two of you can live with. If you did something to upset him or disrespect him, apologize and work things out. It's all up to you and communication is the key.

Do your chores, properly, without being asked. Don't brag,
Don't nag. Avoid anything that relates to the party if you can.
Don't panic, get moody or looking like you will never forgive,
or get over, the emotional scars. Pretend, you have accepted
your fathers decision, Pretend, to see where he is coming from. If he says anything, nod thoughtfully, No!, yeah but, what if
or you said. No tears or quivering lip. Pretend to "take it on the chin, like a man." If the opportunity arises, ask him about
times when you were younger. If he was there when you were
born, ask that, how did he feel? Don't hassle him, if you can
get him reminiscing, let him talk, smile or laugh when he does
You get it, don't push, if you have a bonding moment, give him
a hug or pat on the knee, & go, leaving him wanting more.
His chidhood & parents, if he says it was hard, say I'm lucky.
This is a good thing, no matter what.
If you wan't to be a bit sneaky & don't like to put much effort, in to things. Tell Dad, a friend's family have offered to host your party, at there house. He may relent, if he says good
have it there, pretent to be pleased, thanks Dad.
Now on the day, strange no one home at party house?
All your guests show up at the same time, at your house,
Why? I don't know? X said Y told him that Z said somone said
If no one home at party house, the party would be here. So..
I duno. Buy this time someone is useing toilet, another has to call her mum, a ball has got stuck on the roof & a bunch of kids play running games. Infiltrate spread out take over.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hmmmm....you left out the most important part of the whole situation. That is suspicious and so now I have not a clue what advice to give.
There is one thing that is always an option and that is to be honest with yourself and the person (in this case your father) and go from there.
Happy Birthday : )

Why did he cancel it? That is the main question.Can he afford a party of 20 people?

First of all, why did he cancel it? If it's due to financial reasons, have an informal get together where you spring for snacks and drinks and just have fun that way.

probably talk to him eye to eye...of course a GOOD conversation instead of a fight or something....
Try to tell him that you're sorry and you just had a hard time to understand the "parents concept" thing.
Good luck wit ya dad :D
