"I have to get a new identity" ... 😕 It ain't that serious!

[b]Mom accidentally invites 487 people to child’s birthday: ‘I have to get a new identity’[/b]


Imagine planning your child's first birthday party — a casual celebration at a neighborhood park — and accidentally inviting hundreds of people, including strangers.

"I just made an Evite for my daughter's first birthday party and on Evite it says, 'Import contacts' and I thought it meant import to select through (the names)," Emily King, 30, a mom in San Jose, California, said in a viral TikTok video with more than 12 million views.

"No — it imported all 487 of my contacts and invited them to this birthday party," continued King, a teacher. "Not only did it invite my boss, all of my coworkers (and) all of the people that have ever been stored in my phone but it sent invitations based (on) how they are stored in my phone."

"I want you to just take a second and think about everyone stored in your phone and how they're stored in your phone," she said. "And then imagine someone receiving an invitation ... 'Derek Eye Roll.' He received an invitation (and) 'Jess Hit Her Car In Parking Lot.'”

“Anyways, I have to quit or get a new identity,” said King. “I don’t even know.”

More than 23,000 people commented on TikTok.

"I would be SPIRALING."

"I would die if 'Mark STILL OWES ME $100' came to my son's birthday."

"Rita 'Annoying co-worker' accepted (the) Evite."

"I went on a date with a man and saved him under his dog's name. His dog's name is Margaret."

"I wonder if 'Table on FB Marketplace' will attend?"

"I would actually be honored if 'Tampa Rental Place' showed up."

"I wonder if 'Blocked & Dead to me' would make it?"

"'Possible stalker' would definitely show up."

"'DO NOT ANSWER!' Regrets to inform you he will not be able to attend."

"'Lawyer I owe money to' is definitely going to find out where I live now."

"This birthday is about to be lit."

"It was hilarious and terrifying," King tells TODAY.com of the mishap. "I was mortified and in shock."

This week, King got an early start on planning her daughter's first birthday party in June.

"I was really excited — because I am 20 weeks pregnant, I wanted the day to be all about my daughter," says King.
