Is this tacky?

My birthday is coming up and I never had it celebrated exempt when I was a little kid. So I thought since none of my so called ?friends? will remember or do anything about it, I should let them know when it is and ask them to come out and have a drink to help me celebrated it. Is it tacky for me to make up my own personal celebration and ask people to come. Its like I'm forcing them or probably make them guilty if they don't come.

Update:
I email four people and everyone didn't commit. They all have some excuse and I should let them know where everyone is meeting and they will try to show up. Well if no one commited there is no place to meet. Great "friends" I got.
 
make sure you make them pay for the bill




*for those who miss the joke, this is in reference to another thread awhile back. explaining the joke at this point is probably tacky in itself but somethings just go over some peoples' heads*

Not at all. If no one knows or remembers your birthday, you aren't forced to suffer in silence. Let people know you want to get together for some fun.

~~~edit

bah.. you snuck that j/k in... :|
 
Not at all. In fact many times my friends will buy themselves a keg and have a party. But most of the time we just got out to dinner though.
 
Not tacky. Tacky is when one of your friends says don't get me a gift solely because they don't want to get gifts for friends on THEIR birthdays and they figure if they say no gifts then they aren't obligated to get you one. Then they go buy a $4000 computer.

Portions of the above rant changed to protect the guilty.

Three people is better than sitting at home by yourself.
 
I notice that in the last few years, people won't commit to being anywhere at any time for any reason.

"I'll try to make it" = I'm waiting to see what else I can do that night. If I don't get a better offer, you'll probably see me.

That's just rude. Your friend wants to party for his birthday, you say "I'll be there." Sure, that means sometimes you'll agree to do something, and later on you might find something else you'd rather do. So what? Make a commitment and stick to it.

Sorry your friends aren't very good friends.
