Thread: Party Epic Failure

Tweet

So I had been planning all month for the party tonight. Used up two pay checks on food and decorations. Spent a full two days on cooking and a full week on decorations (many of which failed lol)

So on the night of the party....tonight....After loading the counter full of goodies, lights, fake spiders etc, I sit down in my costume and wait for my guests to show up.

An hour goes by....still waiting on guests...

Another hour...still waiting....

Another hour and 10 phone calls with no answer later...still...waiting....

I'm currently STILL waiting on some kind of word from my "friends" if they're planning on comming like they had been so excitedly telling me all week.

Wow...just like my 16th Birthday Party....this is the party where absoutely no one shows up and no one cares.

Happy Halloween.

Awwe, I'm so sorry to hear your guests haven't shown. Hopefully everyone is running late and as I write this to you, you are all having a great time.

I'm in a similar situation, I have gone to great lengths with much expense to throw a party next Saturday. So far out of 30 guests I know of only 3 who say they are coming. I have been inquiring to my many maybes and still not getting any answers. So I could very well be in the same situation as you are next Saturday night after all the TOT is over.

If I lived closer, I'd come to your party!!

. Sorry to hear that. When I had my party last weekend, it started at 8. Nobody showed - or called - until 10PM. I hope people show up to enjoy your party! Best of luck - and if nobody does then you should enjoy your decorations and food yourself .

That is my nightmare, I just can't imagine! I'd be really upset.

That said, our party started small and has doubled each year - we began with a few friends who just sort of got together for food & drinks, and now it's a full out theme party that takes half the year to plan, and people ask me about it months in advance. So don't lose hope - just make sure you have a small group of committed people before you go to the work again - in fact, ask people to come over early and help, when they feel involved maybe they'll be more likely to show up.

I hope everyone is running late. Let us know how it turned out.

I hope your guests turned up, all that hard work you've put in. I'd tell them all off for being late and not calling you.

my heart is hurting for you. It is absolutely unacceptable the way people either RSVP and don't show to a party or just ignore an RSVP altogether. Do they not understand that food and booze and decor cost a lot of money and time and don't just appear overnight!!??

Please know that you are loved and that people do care about you...even if they don't have the kindness to answer the phone when they are late.

3 people showed 4 hours late. No one else called or showed. The three that showed were just friends that I called last minute for dinner cuz no one else was coming obviously.

This has been a really bad year. Thanks for all the support, but on top of everything else happening....I don't know how much more I can take.

That is just shameful, not showing up. I'm so sorry. {{{hugs}}}

I'm so so sorry! Its such a shame when people don't appreciate all of the effort that you put into something. I really hope that when people realize what they missed out on they feel horrible. If I see any of them during the zombie apocalypse I will kick them in the knee! Keep your head up & know that everyone here is feeling for you!
