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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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

Every last person, or just the last person? Because if you have trouble handling one person declining your party invitation you are messed up.

So what? My brother's birthday is December 31st and he usually just celebrates it a week or two later (if he celebrates it at all). It's not a big deal

I understand ur situation...coz my birthday is also Dec 31st. Even my family has forgotten it so FML twice. I am coming up with some crazy ideas...get to know people on Facebook whose birthday falls on the same day...and organise a party with them, New Year's party plus birthday, twice the fun! Last year I was in the library studying for exams, and this year I'll be at church's prayer'n'praise meeting:) Happy birthday~

It's not illegal to have your birthday party on a day other than your birthday, you know.

My birthday's Dec. 30, and I had a friend apologize because I had no plans for New Year's Eve--she said she offered to take me out for a drink on my birthday the day before--which was supposed to make up for having nowhere to go New Year's Eve????

Haha my birthday is the 31st too. I just go to some big New Years party, and have my party the week after.

what you do is throw your party on the 30th of december, since you guys will be up all night anyway, then at midnight its the 31st, which would mean you are celebrating your birthday right on time. thats what i do every year for my birthday, works everytime.
