His Sister-In-Law Never RSVP’d For His Daughter’s 16th Birthday Party But Showed Up Anyway, So She And Her Kids Were Escorted Out By Security
Just last week, this man’s daughter turned 16. And he and his wife decided to throw her a nice birthday party and go “all out.”
So, they decided to book a private tour of a venue that his daughter had wanted to go to for a while. Then, they also booked a private room to have a catered dinner.
He was hoping the whole celebration would go smoothly, too, but apparently, his sister-in-law threw a major wrench in everyone’s plans.
For context, his wife and her sister simply do not get along. Sure, they are able to maintain a casual relationship just for the sake of family get-togethers. But he claimed that’s really it.
“It doesn’t help that my experiences with my sister-in-law have been incredibly dramatic. She’s quick to play the victim and gaslight,” he added.
However, his sister-in-law’s two daughters just so happen to be best friends with his daughter. That’s why it was necessary for his sister-in-law and his two nieces to be invited to the birthday shindig.
When it comes to coordinating any plans with his sister-in-law, though, it is essentially impossible. He claimed that his sister-in-law is never on time and sometimes shows up hours late. One time, she was even one whole day late.
On top of that, his sister-in-law will not let anyone know if they are planning to show up or not.
“The thing I hate the most is that she will just text you randomly after an event started, saying they decided not to come or show up when they said they couldn’t make it,” he explained.

So, since his wife just does not get along with her sister, he decided to take over the coordination for his daughter’s birthday party. First, he sent two emails to his sister-in-law about the event. Then, he sent three texts before having a 20-minute-long phone call with his sister-in-law over one month ago about the birthday party.
He claimed that he seriously needed to know who was going to be in attendance as soon as possible since he needed to buy tour tickets for everyone and let the caterers know how many plates needed to be served.
“I needed an RSVP as soon as humanly possible to organize this stuff. She either needed to be on time or tell me she could not make it,” he said.
“And I told her that if she ghosts me, there will be no tickets for her and her kids.”
Yet, his sister-in-law still just ghosted him!
So, he assumed they were not going. But on the day of his daughter’s birthday party, his sister-in-law still showed up on time for the event with her two kids.
At that point, he recalled how his wife was furious, and he was forced to handle the situation on his own. He wound up telling his sister-in-law that she and her kids needed to leave because they did not buy any tickets for her.
And if his sister-in-law still wanted to join them for the tour, the tickets were going to be pretty expensive. Plus, the caterers would not be able to accommodate the extra people since no alterations are allowed on the day of the event.
Anyway, after he told his sister-in-law all of this, she first tried to claim that she did RSVP. But then, she eventually just started to shame him, and his tour guide was actually forced to call security!
So, in the end, his sister-in-law and her kids were escorted out of the party. And while the event wound up going great afterward, his sister-in-law’s entire family has not stopped berating him and his wife.
Apparently, his daughter’s birthday party was two hours away from his sister-in-law’s house. So, they claimed it was heartless of him to turn his sister-in-law and the kids away after making that trip.
“Along with this, her daughters have now stopped talking to my daughter– telling her that I kicked them out of her party,” he vented.
He has tried to explain the situation to his daughter, too, but she also called him a jerk.
So now, even though his wife has told him to just ignore her family and wait for their daughter to realize they did nothing wrong, he’s still been left wondering whether having his sister-in-law and her kids escorted out of the party was the wrong thing to do.
Does it sound like he did everything possible to get an answer from his sister-in-law about the party? Why do you think she never RSVP’ed? Was that his fault? Did he have a right to have her and her kids escorted out of the party, or could he have handled the situation differently?
