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?
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

It's been said many times, but you should have your party on a different day. The only exception is if it's a milestone birthday (my 21st birthday, of all years, coincided with Mother's Day and my mom doesn't drink. Needless to say, we were at a bar instead of a fancy dinner). You need to learn from your mistakes instead of complaining about them. YDI all the way.

Every year this happens and you still haven't learned to hold it on a different day? :/

My birthday is also on the 31st and growing up I hardly ever celebrated my Birthday on my Birth day. I understand that it is NYE, but most important to me is that it's my Birthday (along with all the other poor souls born on national days, Christmas, Easter etc) and I would like people to remember that. I take the time to remember others Birthday's so please have the same respect. The poor girl does not deserve her friends to ditch her on her Birthday just because something better came along. It's not nice.

I'm sorry, but New Years has had priority party planning since someone thought of it hundreds of years ago...it ain't stoppin to celebrate the birth of one person out of billions. Especially when that person can't think to schedule their party on a days that's not the same as an International Holiday. YD every year of it for no having the brains to reschedule.

Who gives a flying **** if it's NYE. Point is, if someone agrees to come to your birthday party, they should not cancel because 'something better came up'. Doesn't matter what ******* day of the year it is.

#80 I agree. It's not as if the guests didn't know what day December 31st was when they agreed to attend. Unfortunately, after making a commitment, the clods decided to treat a birthday celebration as if it was just another stop on the New Years' Eve party circuit.
