A 27-year-old mother who threw a lavish birthday party for her 3-year-old daughter has slammed the ‘careless’ parents of the children who were invited after no one showed up. Breanna Strong previously took to TikTok to express her disappointment after no one showed up to her daughter’s third birthday party despite inviting 27 children and 13 families. Breanna told the Daily Mail that her daughter Avery had to eat her pizza alone and didn’t even get to enjoy her frozen-themed cake.
Breanna stated that she had planned a big party for Avery at KidsTopia Playground in Utah, a massive indoor playground with ball pits, tunnels, and giant slides. “I made my own invitation and sent it to several friends, with responses like, “We’ll be there,” “Can’t wait, the kids will be so excited,” and so on,” she explained to the Daily Mail. “I even set up a Facebook event.” I invited 13 different families, totaling 27 children.
“The day before her birthday party, seven families had RSVP’d that they would attend. I had budgeted for 13 children to arrive.” However, on the day of the party, three of the families abruptly changed their minds. They continued to visit Kidstopia, but no one showed up or responded to her messages asking if they were still coming. “I was completely devastated as I watched my daughter eat her pizza alone.” We didn’t even get around to cutting her cake.
“It broke my heart,” she said. “I thought the parents who were invited were very careless. “I texted, posted in the event on Facebook several times, and even posted on Instagram about how excited Avery was for her party tomorrow,” Breanna explained. “Organizing special events takes a lot of time, effort, and money. RSVPs are no longer what they used to be.
Even though the recent event disappointed her, she remains hopeful that things will be different next year. Breanna told the news outlet that she “never expected” her TikTok video to go viral. “I wish I could give her the world because she so richly deserves it,” she continued, “but instead of only 27 friends wishing her a happy birthday, thousands of people all over the world have.” What are your thoughts on the matter?
