What is one of the most disastrous parties you've ever hosted? by ApeNewellin AskReddit

When I was younger (around 7-9 yrs old) it was very common for the kids in my class to host birthday parties, for some reason it was even more common during that specific age. In school everyone would be talking about how much fun they had at X's party and how they look forward to Y's party (I wasn't invited to them, but it didn't really bother me then). Worth noting may perhaps be that I did consider myself to have a couple of friends, I just wasn't very popular and I was cool with that.
But then I thought what a cool idea it would be to host my own birthday party, seeing as everyone had one and they seemed to be enjoyed by everyone too. My mom helped me with the arrangements, renting a place that would have enough space for more than 15 guests, bought plenty of food and my brother (who at the time was an actual DJ, touring worldwide and whatnot) offered to lend his equipment and play some music during the party.
I thought "Great! This will surely be a great party, giving me a chance to make friends and put other parties to shame in the process!" I invited everyone well ahead, they seemed interested and a number of them even said they looked forward to it.
Then the day finally came and I was excited for it, couldn't sleep for days before due to being so excited about it.
Guess what? No one came.
At least there was loads of cake and candy...
Tl;dr kids are assholes
