She Uninvited Me From Her Baby Shower—But Still Asked Me To Cook For 50 People

Discovering the Truth

A day later, the author shared a small, quiet post on her private social media: “Made food for 50. Got uninvited. Still dropped it off. Never again.” She didn’t name names, but an old friend, Ashir, messaged her immediately: “Wait. Are you talking about Reva’s shower??”

He then shared a shocking detail: “You’re not the only one. She did the same to Mel. Asked her to make cookies, then uninvited her too.”

The author reached out to Mel, who confirmed the story. Mel had seen pictures of the party later. She revealed, “She said the venue was ‘too small’ and they had to cut people. But then I saw pics on Facebook. There were at least 60 people there. And three cookie tables.”

The author checked Facebook and saw Reva’s full photo album. The venue was huge, and visible front and center in the pictures were her own lemon tarts. Reva hadn’t run out of space; she had simply decided to use her friends for free labor and then cut them from the guest list.

The author edited her original post to reflect the truth: “Turns out it wasn’t just me. Uninvited multiple people but still took our food. I don’t even care about the party. Just be a decent human.”

The post quickly grew, with other people sharing their own stories of being used by Reva.
