A 27-year-old mother who threw a huge birthday party for her 3-year-old daughter has slammed the ‘careless’ parents of the invited children after nobody turned up.
Breanna Strong previously took to TikTok to share how she was left heartbroken when zero people had turned up to her daughter’s third birthday bash despite inviting 27 kids and 13 families responded with a ‘yes.’
Speaking to Daily Mail, Breanna said her daughter Avery had to eat her pizza alone and didn’t even get the chance to enjoy her frozen-themed cake.
Breanna said she had planned a big celebration for Avery at KidsTopia Playground in Utah, a giant indoor playground with ball pits, tunnels and giant slides.
“I created my own invitation and sent it to multiple friends, with responses of, “We will be there,” “Can’t wait, the kids will be so excited,” etc,” she told Daily Mail.
“I even created a Facebook event. I invited 13 different families, with 27 children amongst them all.
“The day before her birthday party there were seven families who had RSVP’d saying they were coming. I was accounting for 13 kids to come.”
But on the day of the party, three of the families had changed their minds without any explanation.
They still went to Kidstopia and as time passed by, nobody showed up or replied to her messages asking if they were still coming.
“I was completely devastated watching my daughter sit alone while eating her pizza. We didn’t even cut her cake. It broke my heart,” she expressed.
“To me it was very careless of the parents who were invited. I sent texts, posted in the event on Facebook several times and even made a post on Instagram about how excited Avery was about her party tomorrow,” Breanna said.
“It’s a lot of time, effort and money to set up special events for anything. RSVPs are not what they use to be. “
Even though the recent event made her disappointed, she’s still hoping that it would be different next year.
Breanna told the news outlet that she ‘never thought’ her TikTok video would go viral.
“I wish I could give her the world because she most certainly deserves it, but instead of only 27 friends wishing her a happy birthday, thousands of people across the world have,” she added.
