Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, all of my friends showed up an hour late for my 18th birthday party because they decided to go get dinner without me. FML
Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I drove 2 hours to my sister's wedding, only to find out my invitation was sent to me by mistake. She had me kicked out. FML
Today, after a big presentation, people sent an open invitation to dinner. When I asked which restaurant and what time, I was told that I wasn't invited. I've been here for three years. FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, I got dressed up in my best attire and drove an hour to my family Christmas, only to find out it was canceled, and nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Awww I'm sorry OP. Maybe they assumed you'd be busy, or too tired or something. Should bring up the topic and ask why.

There is a lot more going on here than just the blatantly obvious.. I detect some previous turmoil between OP and their family.

OP... My aunt once cried that we didn't invite her to a family event. She knew about it, and didn't go. That was her fault. I think this may be yours. There doesn't need to be a personal invitation with family! You knew they were going, you should have said, "Cool! I'll be there !"

No excess baggage needed.

Go there yourself and then when you see them be like "heyyyy guysss!" The awkwardness will make them invite you.

That would just be embarrassing

Maybe they wanted to discuss your surprise birthday party...

Family events usually aren't fun anyway, OP. Perhaps you should go out to a nice dinner by yourself? Maybe they didn't think you could afford it or something and didn't want to embarrass you by asking.

I think you should have your own party and not invite anyone! Forever alone parties are the best!!!

You've learned the hard way that talking with your mouth full really disgusts people.
