If she has survived the test of being you friend this long, she'll make it thru a party with your not-so-annoying friends... She knows about your party because she IS your friend, girl, to have friends, you also have to be one! A true friend would tell the others that EVERYONE is at your party because they are special to you, anyone who forgets that and behaves badly, obviously red flags themselves as NOT your friend! Well heck that would almost be the best bday gift of all, True Colors!  Set the standard, sweetie!\nBut I think you already know that... Happy Birthday!

Why do you feel sad?  We reap what we sow.  You were alone today because you haven't gone out of your way to make it any different (make friends).  Do you aknowledge anybody elses birthday?  I'm just asking these questions because I had the same thing happen to me years ago and I realized it had everything to do with my decisions.  \n\nHappy Birthday--we are here!

Just ask someone you know to invite you. It is quite possible. Your friend is wrong. The only way to get one is by being invited. Sorry, but there's no other way out. If I find a solution, I'll definitely let you know.

I usually dont invite since people might think the wrong thing, i begin talking with them and if they're cool with me, they usually invite me and i accept. I havent declined anyone yet. And i might invite you simply to show that i do still give :)

Why not throw your own bday party you cant always rely on someone doing it for you also its not just about presents its about getting all your friends together in 1 place at 1 time friends who make negative comments like you described arent really friends and would be invited. That would teach them theyll miss out not you.

Um, if they're living in the same household, then it's only courdial to invite everyone.  Yes, it is your day and it should be planned out to your specifications, but think about the "bad-blood" that could be created or spared based or your decision to just let someone show up and hey....maybe give you an extra gift.  It's worth it to me to suck it up.  Besides, there will be so many other people there, it isn't like you have to sit and hold hands with him/her the entire time and be like "look who I invited, right here, uh huh, see who came, blah blah blah."

Are you male or female?  What is the weather like outside?  Are there any other events that your friends might have attended instead of coming to your party.  Just because someone who is your friend couldn't make your party doesn't mean they don't like you.  Just think you'll have more to eat and drink.  Did you and the friends that did come to your party have a good time?  Maybe there was somekind of mixup with the invitations and some of them didn't get invited by mistake.  Maybe some of them had to work or babysit.  I don't know you but I'm a 51 yr. old nana and you can know that I'm always here for you.  Ask me anything anytime, I stay online alot.  Haven't been a member of the Yahoo Answers long but I really like it.

Yes! Its my birthday tomorrow, I hate it! I appreciate that people care about me, but the best thing that could possibly happen, would be for tomorrow to go by just like any other day. Last year was the worst...surprise party! I wasnt even suspicious. I thought it was odd that they had bought a huge amount of food and extra plates etc..But I just assumed they knew it was the LAST THING I could POSSIBLY have wanted. I kept a smile on my face, but it was the worst day of 2005.

You should invite people that you are comfortable with and your time will be smooth and not intense. You want to have a good time and don't want drama. You can invite the person you like for a movie, the pool, or bowling a different day! have fun is the key;)

When you set up your account, and it asks you when your birthday is, it's supposed to ask you if you want to have it on your profile and for it to show up for people.\n\nMaybe you should get on account settings and look for birthdate and change the setting so other people can see when your birthday is!

What a stuck up bitch! Anybody with good common sense would've thanked you for wishing them a happy birthday, if I were you I would just ignore her and move on, she doesn't sound like she is worth your time, she'll get what's coming to her.

No! I would see that as a slap in face saying "I want presents, but I don't want to pay for your meal or trust you to behave like an adult on my special day." The only time i would do it is if the friend is really close to me but cannot make the wedding due to a major plan, like moving or taking a big vacation. Unless you want this to be the last time you see the person, it would be better to just have a little event, like seeing a movie or having dinner to celebrate, since such things don't oblige presents.

I also find it perfect. If you really think it sounds random, just add a line about something you experienced with you friend in the past, that makes your friendship unique. But don't add too much, keep it simple or you might spoil it.

You should include  your BF in the number of people coming from your family in the  RSVP.  I think I would have been offended  if my good friend  invited my sister but not me personally  in the invitation. why did'nt she send it  to you and  include your sister in the "  rest of the family"?  I'd just let it slide though and just wish your friend and her hubby wishes for a long life together.  This is'nt  bad enough to ruin your friends day over.Yes,you should buy them a gift too.

is she really your friend? because if she is, then she would not have left you there alone by yourself. she could have introduced you to everybody and made sure that you had a great time.  i also think that she is not your friend cuz she does not enjoy your company. the fact that she embarrassed you to her guests and asked you to leave is not in any way a gesture of friendship. so, why do you have to be bothered if this friendship goes down the drain. in fact, it has been in the drain already.  you will be better off without her because she does not care for you and don't waste your time on such a person. it is you who is a real friend becoz no matter what she did, you still want to save this friendship. look around for someone who deserves your kind of friendship and i am sure that when you do find that someone, she will be a lucky person to have you.

Im sorry, Happy Birthday, You should go out and buy yourself some stuff you want. just go all out and have a good time.  No body cares about my birthday either. I haven't had a birthday party in 6 years, My dad forgets every year, and sometimes ill go the whole day without anyone saying happy birthday.  please don't let it get you down, just remember that people suck, and theres nothing you can do about it.  Keep your head up, and maybe people will notice.
