For example, I know a gal who foolishly invited her whole friend list to her 26th birthday party.

Did that weird guy from 3rd grade show up? He sure did.

That… actually seems kinda fun…

I know this wasn’t the point I was supposed to take from your comment but I’m liking this idea

It was really awkward, I can tell you.

The lesson here is not to invite your whole friend list.

Maybe the lesson is to curate your friend list and don’t keep as a “friend” anyone you wouldn’t want to hang out with in person.
