A lady arranging a hen party in Newcastle, makes the grave error on a Facebook events page and invites 18,000 people and get this; 12,400 people say they can attend!
Reported on Joe.ie, the women in question (Ami Robertson) according to this article, only wanted to invite 20 – 30 girls but made the rookie error of not making her events page private, so the facebook pranksta’s got to work and shared this page and invites are sent all over the world.
12,400 people responded to say they were going, 281 were maybes and a total of 18,700 were invited before the page was taken down or made private.
Imagine the horror on the Hen’s face (Julie) when Ami breaks it to her, “umm Julie… you know your hen night you trusted me to arrange, I have a small confession….”!
It’s a shame they didn’t go ahead with the party to actually see how many people did turn up, I am pretty sure most people wouldn’t of however she’d make the record books with the ‘biggest hen party in the world’ category.
Would Newcastle have a venue big enough? I suppose an arena would be suffice however the budget may not have stretched that far.
Big lesson to be learnt here, set up your event’s page properly and don’t invite the population of a small island.
