It's pretty random and weird of me to blog about this. But this topic just randomly came to my mind and I really feel like blogging it out!
(perhaps this can be like a "forehinting" to my friends IF I can have my 21st)
Yes! Imma turn 21 in like what? 96 days? And so are my group of Yr1989 friends. Most of them are planning what to do for their big day already!
So when you pen down your guest list, you will be wondering who shall you invite right?
For me,
1) I Wont/Will/Shall not invite people whom I am not close to.
- Yeah, why would I want to invite people whom I am not close with? I will only end up not talking to him/her and both of us will feel awkward.
And to add on to this point; There was one time, a friend of mine hold a birthday celebration but he/she didn't invite Friend x because Friend x isn't a close friend of my friend.
However Friend x wanted to attend the celebrations because he/she found out that his/her group of close friends are attending and it's been a long time he/she meet them so in other words, he/she wanted to use my friend's birthday celebration to be his/her own private friend gathering.
Friend x didn't go in the end of course, but I was dead sure they will hold a mini private gather at one corner of the celebrations if Friend x appear.
My point is, I hate people who make use of people birthday celebration and treat it like their own mini private gathering!
No, I am not talking about those normal gathering but really those "Lets-grab-some-food-and-then-we-can-go-one-corner-for-our-own-mini-gather!" gathering. Not healthy and very unsociable leh!
2) Do I know your boyfriend/girlfriend? If no, sorry! They are not in my guest list!
- It's normal I guess. Once you sent out your party invitation to your friends, you bound to have a couple of friends who will ask you if they could bring their boyfriend or girlfriend (and most of the time, it's the girls who asked.)
Yes, your other half can come if I know them personally (but I would have invited them myself if I know them right?) No, why would I ask your boyfriend/girlfriend come my party if I don't really know them at all? That will kinda contradict my first point right?
And then friends will reply; "You can make friend when you see them wah!!"
Yes, I love making new friend but NO, I don't want to make friends during my birthday party.
Hello?! I will be very busy on that day already! Where got time to make new friends huh?
And I don't get it why people want to bring their boyfriend/girlfriend to their friend's birthday party when you know that your other half will feel weird because he/she don't know anyone else in the party except yourself.
Friend, just be auto can? Not everything, events or what must spent with your other half!
Interesting how these things came to my mind this morning!
Now, Who To Invite?
1) Gossip-Mongers
- No no no! Not invite them to gossip about you! But these are the kind of people who will spread the words about how great and awesome your party is! You might want to get some Drama mama too. Imagine;
You: "I spent around $xxxxk on this party..."
Them: "OH! YOU DID NOT! WOW!?"
2) Dare Devil
- In my humble opinion ah, I will invite them to make the party lively. All those nonsensical stuff they will do and no doubt, they will be the first to volunteer to any games you had in your party. Agree not?
3) Weird People That You Close To
- Erm, just so that you can laugh at their weird dressing and random things they do during your party? Yeah, I know it's very bad but it's like a topic for you to talk about!
***
And since we are at this birthday topic, what is the ideal gift for 21st birthday boy and girl ah?
PS: Oh ya! The Who to Invite part hor is based on my preference hor! Don't quote me!
