Today, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML

Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I got officially uninvited to a party. This is the third one this month. FML
Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML
Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." FML
Today, I'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. FML
Today, I invited my only friend to my birthday party and she said no, not because she couldn’t go, but because she didn’t want to. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML
Today, I'd organized a small dinner with immediate family for my birthday. I’ve since received texts from every one of them, cancelling due to varying reasons. My parents excuse is the funniest - they went out last night for a coworker’s party, and don’t want to go out again tonight. For me. Their child. FML
Today, I had a big party planned. All but one of the guests cancelled. See you at 7, mom. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This happens occasionally to me because my birthday is on Valentines day, and it turns out people would rather have some romantic ******* than celebrate my birthday! But FYL

You deserve it for being too stupid to move your party to another day and too selfish to understand that people would rather being out partying during the holidays than hanging out with you.

I'll say YDI because you can: Move your party to a different date or Throw a kick ass birthday/New Year's party.

dude you're a freaking moron if your reading comprehension is so low that you cannot understand that by a combination birthday/new year's party #17 MEANT that it would be held on the 31st. So... epic fail for not being smarter than the average 4 year old or so and not comprehending that some *choice* is implied by the word "or" do not insult people that you are less intelligent than. You just look stupid. EDIT: for #21 not #17

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND UR PAIN! My bday is New Year's Eve. Everyone ALWAYS has better plans. What great friends...and the only people who say that New Year's Eve parties say that it would be amazing is because they usually have summer birthdays and everyone has no better plans. Eff the people who screw you over or leave you behind. I just hate my birthday. =[

And I know someone who has the same birthday and throws a huge bash every year as a combo bday/NYE party. People ALWAYS go and most look forward to it.

I agree with the people who say you should just find a different time to schedule it. Wait a week or two into the new year when everybody is stating to get bored because the holiday rush is over and they will be happy to come to your party

YDI for doing the same thing every year and not celebrating on a different day.
