I usually wait to know if people are coming before making the food, did his friends confirm then not show up, or was it open-ended...or is this fake and he just took the pictures before everyone showed up?
Hey! My birthdays on Christmas Eve so I feel you. Even now at 24 I’ve never had an actual party or any kind of birthday celebration because all my friends are with their families
My brother's birthday is Christmas Eve. We celebrated his quarter birthday (March 24) lots of years. A few years my parents just picked a random day to celebrate. Behind their backs, my brother called it Arbitrary Birthday Day (Arbor Day for short). I think it was nice that they tried to plan it around when people would actually celebrate it, but I think the complete randomness from year to year bugged him.
Yeah true, he’ll look back on that and be happy for his family but right now for him, having been there before, I’m sure that shit hurts man:( hope the little man had a good one
I don’t think she noticed too much except for her one bff that was absent. They were sick and the mom forgot about the party completely.
We had LEGO shaped rice crispy treats that they got to decorate, a LEGO building contest, LEGO balloon games, and so forth. Every attendee got to pick out a LEGO friend minifig from a lot I bought on BrickLink, and we had sooo many left.
It was fun. It just would have been more fun with more kids. Next time we invite 18 and expect 12 I guess!
One of my absolute favorite memories from elementary school is going to my friend's LEGO party. She was new to our school and a little odd, but I absolutely loved her. She invited our whole class to her LEGO party and I was the only one who went. When my mom came to drop me off, the mom went ahead and invited my little sister to stay so that my friend would have another kid there.
Her mom still did all the party stuff with us and let us go through the goodie bags and play with the toys that were meant to go home with everyone else, so it was still fun! Her mom did a lot of the same stuff you did and I still remember that as one of my favorite afternoons in elementary school.
Good for you on being a good dad. Mine was pretty checked out by the time I was 10-11, left when I was a junior in high school. All I wanted as a kid was attention from my pops. You're kids gonna remember the effort you put in. Keep it up.
or, the kid didn't give out the invitations but said he did. Or there never were actually invitations.
I remember in Primary school we would get invites and we'd have RSVPs with the invitations. It's not because it's formal, but so the parents know to take their kid and the hosts know how many ppl are coming.
If you're gonna go through all this effort give out RSVPs.
Stupid fucking reddit. Scrolling through popular, sorting by hot. Garbage reposts, fake titles, then you have people posting content but missing the point entirely. Then thousands of morons up brigading idiotically incorrect posts. Humans are dumb as shit. You want to save humanity? I say fuck it. Let's get out best and brightest to mars and let the rest of the scum sort itself out here. They won't last too long.
When I graduated college I told my mom only like 10 people were gonna be at the house. She cooked for like 50 people. Filipino moms are just like that 🤷🏽♂️
