Today, I hosted my 6-year-old daughter's birthday party. After inviting 15 kids from her class, making a huge 2-flavor character cake, and cutting pool noodles for light sabers, only 1 kid showed up. FML

hey guys OP again so like I said in my first comment I really wasn't social during that time. when my husband deploys I don't stay in the town we are stationed, there's no point in me staying alone with no one and two kids if I can move closer to family and at the very least have someone around for emergencies. so that's probably a big reason no one came. but bright side of life she still had fun, she had a second party with family and on her actual birthday her and I went out caught a movie and other stuff so she's not scared by any means. Either way i really appreciate all of the support and kind words, yall rock!

Be a parent then, if she's lonely you go out there and party with her yourself or better yet invite some family, have a fake Star Wars fight with her and if you can't finish that cake save it and let her bring a little of it to school for a lunch treat, because if you think you feel shitty for preparing that imagine how she feels that practically no one showed up. Perhaps a little time together celebrating could cheer both of you up

That was rude of everyone not to say they couldn't go. They could have said that. I'm sure you had their contact information too so you could check in to see? If not, maybe invite only ppl you and your daughter know well and actually spend time with next time. Poor kid. Also, ASK some of the parents why they didn't RSVP and let them know your daughter was hurt.

I feel sorry for that... It's never been easy for any of us to face things like that. But I hope she can still make friends with some of the kids that didnt show up. Please let her know, the ones who love her most is always there for her.

That's just ******* depressing. No kid should have to experience that, having your friends not actually be big enough friends to show up to her birthday party. If that happened to me, I would've been crushed. Sorry about that, hopefully you can make it up to her.

I heard stories about where mothers posted on Facebook for random people to come. 50 people showed up along with cops and firefighters with gifts

One of my good friends invited every kid in the class to her party. Everyone said they were coming and her parents bought like 15 pizzas. I was the only person that showed up. It really hurt her feelings but we did have a good time anyway. Hope your child isn't too heart broken and I hope you made it a fun day anyway
