Woman Who Planned Massive Birthday Party for Boyfriend Shocked by No-Shows

A woman on TikTok is opening up about an extravagant milestone birthday party she put together for her boyfriend that didn't exactly go as planned. Speaking to the camera through tears, she recounted how the thoughtful gesture came together—and how quickly everything changed.

"I will never be planning a birthday party or party for anyone ever again," she said plainly. "I am planning my boyfriend's 30^th birthday and I got a huge rental property with pickleball courts and it's going to have a taco caterer, and it's so perfect. It has everything he loves." She noted that his parents even pitched in to help bring the vision to life. "'It's going to be so nice and he's gonna love it,'" she thought.

Knowing how much he'd want his friends to be there, she reached out to many of them, but didn't get the answers she was hoping for.

"None of his friends are coming," she lamented. "I invited about 20 of them and none of them can make it, and it's heartbreaking. It's disappointing, and I just don't have the heart to tell him that."

"I wanted this to be so special and I feel like it's my fault. I feel like I let him down," she lamented.

The video has since been deleted from her page, but the party ended up being a success. She shared video on Dec. 12 of her process of setting up the celebration. It turns out the story has a happy ending, as she said he was genuinely surprised.

His best friends couldn't make it, but he seems to have made many new friends from around the world thanks to the magic of social media.
