Today, I checked the facebook event page that I had set up for my 21st birthday at an awesome restaurant/bar which I had set up a week ago. Out of 39 invitees, the only person who said yes is my boyfriend. FML

Today, I was checking the Facebook event page to see who is attending the party I am having this weekend, since my parents are going out of town. 1 person has confirmed. My mom. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML

Today, I was invited to a birthday dinner at a restaurant. As I was leaving, I get a text from the birthday girl's boyfriend saying that it was cancelled. Hungry, I decided to go to that particular restaurant anyway. Turns out the party wasn't cancelled. Half the party just didn't want me there. FML

Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." FML

Today, I was on Facebook looking at pictures of my boyfriend, who was in his friend's wedding this past weekend. He said that none of the girlfriends could come because it would cost too much for the couple. I spent the weekend alone, and all his friend's girlfriends are in the pictures. FML

Today, I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I invited all his friend and made all his favorite food. He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long. His response? He said he was at his house, with the very friends I was standing next to. FML

Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Today, I posted an event to have a get together with friends. Most of them put "not attending". I hadn't even set the date. FML

Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML

Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML

Facebook is not an acceptable way of personally inviting people to an important event.

That's really unfortunate. Fortunately, you have a boyfriend who loves you. That's great! :]

That's what you get for using Facebook to invite people to a birthday party.

That does suck.... But send real invites, I have accidentally ignored so many parties because people think fb is an acceptable alternative to paper these days.

I generally ignore fb party invitations. On the bright side, you have a boyfriend you know you can count on to be there for you. The rest are just fb friends--don't expect them to loan you money or help you move.

I think YDI because you invited people to your own birthday party.

In some circles, people fully expect you to organise events via facebook, so unlike a lot of commenters I don't think this was your fault for that aspect. For my 21st, I organised an event both on facebook and by personally asking all my friends. This was 2 weeks before the event, and the most common response was: "Oh, I don't know what I'm doing that night." I couldn't help but think "surely you know now!" but said nothing. On the night, about 10 people showed up, but my housemate spent the entire night trying to convince me not to go to the club night I had picked out especially because it was my birthday and it was a club we rarely went to and which I really liked. I got so mad at her that we ended up just sitting in the bar all night and people went home early because we weren't going to a club any more. Best part? My housemate was completely oblivious to the fact that she had utterly ruined my one and only 21st birthday party and had a ball.
