Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML
Today, my company had a Halloween party. I was so excited seeing as our company never does anything, so I pulled out all the stops with my costume. I was the only one who got dressed up. FML
Today, I threw an event with my colleague that completely flopped. At the end, my colleague invited the few people who showed up to take as much candy as they wanted from the gift bags I paid for and assembled myself. My colleague contributed neither the money, nor the effort to put them together. FML
Today, I finished making an awesome costume for a Halloween party my crush was attending. I then checked the invite and found out the party was last night. FML
Today, I spent over an hour decorating my house for trick or treaters. I never got one person at my door because I forgot to unlock my gate. FML
Today, at my school, we finally had the party we worked on for the past week. I was tasked to make decorations and props for a photo booth. I made sure everything was perfect, and I even stayed up until 1 am working on the props. Not a single person used it. FML
Today, my sister is dressing up as a nerd for Halloween. She's using my clothes for the costume. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend to get a bunch of candy for our first Halloween at our new house, so she got $60 worth. We got into an argument about who was going to give it out. It’s now 9 p.m. No one came to our door all night. FML
Today, at work, I was supposed to have an easy two-hour shift, after which I was planning on attending a party that had been arranged to celebrate my graduation. Nearly six hours later, I am just getting home after being super busy and shorthanded at work for hours. I missed my own party. FML
Today, my sister asked me if she could go into my closet to borrow my favourite dress for a party she was going to tonight. When I asked her where she was going, she said to a Halloween costume party. My sister is going as a prostitute. FML

You either need to get some friends OP, or .. nah.. You really just need to get some friends.

Next time, don't forget to tell people about your party. And by "people", I mean "friends of yours who might want to come". And make sure some plan on coming.. That, or just move to one of the several countries where people don't celebrate Halloween. You'll save money ! Problem solved

this is why you have people RSVP?

Not that RSVP's are fool-proof, but you might require a response to your invitation next time so you have a head count for the party before spending the time and money.

omg the SAME THING happened to me too. :( i was really sad i spent so much time and money setting up and nobody showed. it turns out they were all at this other girl's party. she told everyone to go to her party and not tell them they weren't coming to mine.

#19 -- Wow! She may have suggested it but your "friends" went along with it like a bunch of lemmings....rude lemmings. Brings to mind the adage, "With friends like these, who needs enemies?" I hope you took that cosmic clue and found yourself new friends.
