Is it a good idea to show up at a party without being invited?

Topic. Like, if a lot of your friends are going to be there and the person handing the invites invited them but didn't invite you, would it be a good idea to go anyway?

 
Unless the person throwing the party or his best friend/girlfriend/fwb/etc hates you, I don't see what the big deal is. Just follow the rules and don't be a jackass, if you really want to smooth it over just bring some booze to contribute, who's gonna say no to that?
 
I think it would be a pretty dick move to go to a party you weren't invited to. I mean, that is the point of invites after all...to know you're allowed to go.
 
The person that is hosting the party is kinda ambavalant towards me, but her friends like me, and i even talked to a couple of her girlfriends and they said it'd be ok for me to go, and i talked to a bunch of guys and they said it'd be a good idea and that she wouldn't say anything, but even if she did, i could just ignore her.
 
She's a woman and you are, I'm assuming, a man. Whatever you choose will be right. Fuck her, both literally and metaphorically.

Yeah, I'm a man, and sticking it to her is actually the main reason I'm going, to show her I'll go whenever i please.
 
Shit, it's a girl? Nevermind, throw logic and rationalization out the window completely. Just call one of her friends and have them ask her if you can come, if that isn't possible, don't risk it.

Don't act like you did in your locked L&R thread (translation: don't be a jackass again) and just tag along with your friends. This also means that you're not hated by the host; if that's the case, forget about showing up.

Edit:
As loki below me put it, if it's a small gathering, get someone to ask on your behalf. If it's a larger gathering, more like an open party, whatever, just tag along.

I'd have a friend who was invited ask.

otherwise, it depends on the party... gigantic house party where the host isn't going to know half the people there anyways? just go. small get-together? ask.

I'm not 100% hated by the host, as she'll talk to me, but she is sorta ambivalent toward me as i mentioned earlier, but yeah, I think i'll be alright as long as I don't really screw up, and like i said i talked to a couple of her friends and they said come.

Besides, parties and stuff gives me something else to do besides playing video games all day.

You did ALL this, but you won't ask THE PERSON WHOSE PARTY IT IS if you can go? It's her goddamn party. :roll:

Words fail me. No, wait, a couple of coming. Ahhhh, here they are:

YOU SUCK.

WTF is wrong with you? 😕
 
Sounds like it's a formal party if people are giving out invites. I thought at first maybe it's just a whole bunch of people drinking at a house kinda party but this doesn't sound like it.

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?'

If she didn't invite you - she doesn't want you there. You suck, you are a loser, you are not popular enough, she hates you - pick your reason.

Unless it's a party where guests are allowed to bring someone with them - don't bother.
 
it doesn't matter if her friends like you. if you were inviting friends over and they brought someone you were "ambivalent" about you'd probably pissed. its her party, she didn't invite then u ah heck off. the only way in is to ask a friend to ask for permission. just showing up is a dick move. at best the host will quietly tolerate your presence be polite instead of kicking you to the curb. its a major no no.

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.
