If it's a small exclusive group then this holds, but it really does depend on the type of party. Also, the fact that physical invites were handed it means nothing. I know many people who have held large parties who handed out physical invites but expected a much greater turn out than the number of invites handed out. Unless we know the nature of the group and the party we can't reasonably answer the question.

Its a dance party, and quite a few of my friends who are popular didn't get invites either. I talked to someone and he said he's going uninvited as well and he knew another guy or two who were also going uninvited.

In that case it looks like the party is going to be crashed regardless of your attendance. In other words, go for it.

so just showing up uninvited means you crashed the party?

Alright, i asked the other guy who said he was going uninvited and he said that he didn't think we'd get kicked out as long as we didn't do anything to disrupt the party and just partied like everyone else was doing.

Yeah, and Hitler asked Stalin if it was alright to invade Poland and Stalin said, "Sure, just let me have half."

Honestly, would you really ask a girl: 'hey, I know you are throwing a party, and everyone of my friends is invited, but not me. Can I come? Please? I will do the dishes and mow your lawn. Pretty please?'

No, but if the OP is determined to be an univited ass then it would be the better idea that he ask her this way: Ring, ring . . .

Hi, Esmeralda, this is Gunther. Several of my good friends are going to your Mussolini's Cat's Birthday Bash. I'm sorry to put you on the spot like this, but I'd never be a complete fucking dipshit tool and just show up uninvited anyway . . . after all, I'm not ignorant trailer trash and my parents weren't first cousins. We lived in a house and often ate dinner off of plates.

So, do you think it would be ok if I came?

Or, like others said, have someone who's invited ask for you.


so just showing up uninvited means you crashed the party?

It's the freaking, fucking definition of crashing a party, you moron. :roll:

There's probably a reason you weren't invited. Parties that require invitations are pretty lame anyway.

Just ask yourself, what would Jesus do?

Maybe Perknose' point was lost on you, but he has it right (not as if it's hard to get it right with this one.)

It was mentioned a couple times in here, but are you in high school? That would explain quite a bit if you are.
The "mature" thing to do is realize that you're not invited (read: not wanted) and not go. The age adjusted thing to do would be to go and crash the party.

No, hell no, we're just messing with you. OF COURSE you should show up uninvited. Puke on her rug as soon as you get in the door. This will show her you mean business and have already marked your territory.

Ahhhhh, the timeless art of seduction. :heart:

It's clear that she wants you in the worst way and is simply playing hard to get. Just remember that she will no doubt continue with this delicious little ruse when you show up.

So, when she screams, "I'm going to call the cops," that's your signal to grab her roughly and shove your tongue down her throat.

Don't forget to bring bail money! :thumbsup:

Don't forget to piss on all of the plants in the house (if applicable) and shit on her chest. That way you can maintain your stance of dominance.

Yeah, 12th grade, will graduate in May. So i guess it would be rather dumb to go to parties i'm not invited to? I have little to no experience in this sort of thing. I don't really like the host anyway, so i might just oversleep the party and then have an excuse to the friends i told i was going should they ask where i was, which probably wouldn't be the case.

I have little experience social wise, although i do go to tailgate parties before games and stuff, but then again those typically don't require invites(unless I am again wrong).

I just don't want to be giving the host any power over me, that was my reason for going. Thankfully in May we'll both be headed to different colleges, so i guess a show of defiance doesn't matter anyway.

I think it depends on what kind of party it is. If its a big open house party then I would definitely go. But if its a small thing then I would just go do something else

I think its sort of a dance party inside of a rented RV... would that be asking for trouble if i went to that uninvited?

If lots of people do it then yeah, that's kind of the definition.

i thought it meant having some guy come that kills the entire mood of the party forcing it to end. hence crashing >.>

What kind of parties would have a doorman or someone that would be instructed to have a list of the invitees and if you weren't invited to tell you to take a hike?
