Today, I had a going-away party because I am leaving the country forever. Out of the 130 people invited, 60 were a resounding, "Yes! Of course I will come!" After paying $300 for everything needed at the party, two ended up coming. And left because nobody else was there. FML

Today, I got a cross-country job promotion. I decided to plan my Going-Away-Forever party, and bought a pack of 100 invitations. After mailing them out to all my friends, I have 92 left. FML

Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML

Left out

Today, I saw some friends' cars at a friend's house, but thought nothing about it. Then I found pictures on Facebook of the pool party they had as a going away party for my friend, who is leaving the country for three months. I had no idea my friend was leaving, and I was the only one not invited. FML

Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML

Today, I'd arranged a family reunion to see family I hadn't seen in years. Out of about 20 people, only 3 said they would come. One messaged to cancel the night before. The other two no-showed. FML

From experience, never throw yourself a going away party and expect folks to come. Just tell folks you are leaving and if someone wants to organize something they will and invite people over and set it up. I have heard of several friends inviting over a hundred people to these things, just to see only about 0-15 show up to send their good byes.

Sounds like you used facebook, since that's one of the default responses. Chances are they do what I use to and my friends still do, just say "Yes" to every invitation and decide later which one you'll go to. Kinda ****** up they did it since it was a going away party, we only did for club and weekly house parties. Shouldn't use facebook for the important events though.

I've been in a similiar situation when I moved cross country. No party was thrown but I spent my remaining hours with my closest friends. I'm curious as to why you are leaving the country forever?

My mom sent out the invites for my 8th birthday the day before the party was to happen, because my mom fails at everything she tries to do. Only one kid showed up. I sympathize with you.
