However, on the D-day, a great disappointment occurred. Out of the 20 invitations that she had distributed, not a single one showed up. Daniella couldn't hide her disappointment, and in a touching TikTok video, she talked about how difficult it was to face that reality. "I will never plan a birthday party for anyone ever again," she said in the car while crying.

A number of netizens' comments questioned the extent of their friends' friendship who should have been present. Netizens said they were not true friends if they couldn't attend such a special birthday event. However, there were also many netizens who comforted Daniella, affirming that the failure of the event was not entirely her fault or responsibility.
