Have you ever thrown a party and no one came?

A terrible thing happened at a party for me.

Judy and Johnny just walked in the door

Like a queen with her king.

Oh, what a birthday surprise.

Judy is wearing his ring.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

Cry if I want to. Cry if I want to.

You would cry too if it happened to you.

OP have you walked into a party like you were walking on to a yacht?

I’m socially avoidant, so I’ve never thrown a party or put myself in any situation where someone could reject my absolute perfection. It’s better for everyone that way.

Many a time.

No because usually if you throw a party you dont just casually mention it once, you keep talking to your guests to be about it, such as how much fun it's going to be to see them, who else they like might be going, how to get there, park etc.

Rarely will someone flake if they have talked to you about going several times.

Only sex parties. But no matter I still start a thread on DL about what a great party it was and how everyone adored my dick.

I threw party once but Ellen never came.

We just can’t get away from Ellen can we…

Should have done a poll

This wasn’t my party…but. I worked for a high-end caterer at a mega millions floor-through apartment on the East Side of Manhattan. The party was a rather small cocktail party for around 30. We’d set everything up and it was time for the guests to arrive. Except…no one rang. The hostess had switched the date but forgot to tell everyone that the party had been moved to another evening. When she realized it she laughed and told all of us to eat what we wanted while we cleaned up. We came back a week later and this time they showed up.

I knew someone whose mother had thrown her daughter a baby shower and no one showed up.

I once invited people over for the Super Bowl and made a bunch of food/snacks. It was pretty casual and a last minute idea but I was kinda hurt when no one I invited came.

I was really, really, REALLY hoping no one would respond to this thread.

New Year's Eve one year - everything was just about ready to go, until freezing rain turned the streets into skating rinks over the course of an hour. Then the calls and texts started...and kept going until everyone had changed their RSVP to "sorry, but I don't want to die in a car accident". So, I ate some devils on horseback, watched a little TV, drank a bottle of cava, and went to bed early.

Parties just are not worth the bother but even I know that you don't throw a party by yourself, you throw a party with other people, increases the changes that people will come.

I threw a party and only one person came. And then two others came hours later briefly when I was already packing everything up

Did you cry, R16?

Were you humiliated?

🎵 you would cry too if it happened to you

I have some party gone wrong stories but no party doesn’t show.

Yes. Mother insisted on making fairy bread against my wishes which I thought cursed it.

No. But I’ve started a handful of threads that had terrific potential — and none of you fucks responded.

I once invited a bunch of guests in NYC for an Easter brunch, but the day before I came down with some horrific off-the-charts intestinal thing that lasted for 10 days. (Doc later speculated it was shigella). I lost about 10 pounds that I could ill afford to lose in those years. I called some of the guests to tell everyone not to come, and offered to stay well away if someone wanted to come to grab the food I'd bought for the party out of the fridge, but no one responded to that invitation. I guess a visit to my house of contagion was not on anyone's wish list. I think I was eating ham and whatever leftovers didn't spoil for about a month afterwards.

Yes, with some co-workers after leaving my job of 7 years. I set up a lunch date at my apt. for about 6 of us and no one cared enough to call or show up. I was *very* hurt. I did not cry, but after I got over being hurt I became quite angered because I went all out making a fabulous lunch for these people. I never spoke to any of them again. One person did touch base with me several days later though, this after she must have remembered she missed the party. I'm trying to recall what I told her (this was a very long time ago) but I believe I may have lied and said I'd forgotten about it too so thank goodness all of you never came by. I think about it once in a while and mutter 'fuckerzzzz!' under my breath.

I went to a Halloween party for two lesbians raising a son, no one showed up except for us. One of them was a co-worker of my partner so that's how it came about. It was the most depressing thing I have ever seen. Poor kid, none of his friends showed up in a very progressive, gay friendly city. So awkward to be there, the kid looked more like a junior lesbian in training than a typical straight boy. Place was all decorated, food out, stayed a while because I felt bad for him. To be fair, the other partner in that scenario was not very nice, she seemed aggravated that we were even there. So maybe her gruff nature scared his friends or parents away.

A friend of mine thinks I don’t know that he booked a hotel room to hold an orgy via Grindr, and nobody showed up. I don’t want to rub his nose in it, so I’m telling all of you. Please don’t mention it if you see him.

A friend told me his parents invited nearby neighbourhood friends for a summer barbecue, plentiful food naturally in place. Nobody turned up. I was impressed that he told me, and felt for him even years after the non-event.

Even worse OP is having an orgy and no one came.

When I turned 11 years old, my twin brother and our cousins all went to the movies for our birthday but I decided instead to have my friend and her mother come over for lunch. They never showed.

Later my friend said that her mother refused to go because my mother hadn’t phoned her up and invited her, it was just something my friend and I planned. Her mother was manic depressive anyway.

It was a long afternoon though. And my mother didn’t offer much comfort.

I invited everyone I knew and saw the biggest gift was from me.
