Woman Charges Friends to Attend Her Birthday Party

A woman had a big 25th birthday party and charged her friends £10 to come. She rented a big place and wanted a great night.
She rented food, music, and decorations. She asked each guest for £10 to help pay. Some friends were upset and sent her angry messages.
They said it was rude to charge friends to come to a birthday party, especially since they brought gifts.
She understands why they are upset, but she does not think she did anything wrong.
She put a lot of time and money into the party and could not pay for everything herself.
She told guests about the £10 fee in the invitation, so they knew beforehand.
She thinks it is fair to ask guests to help pay, especially for a big party. We pay to go to events, so it is not different.
She even offered to give £10 back to friends who could not afford it.
It is frustrating when friends complain about a small fee, but they spend more at a bar.
She asked people online if she was wrong to charge her friends to come to her party.
One person said it was rude to charge friends to come to her party. She wanted a big party, but she could not afford it.
Another person said she should have a party she can afford and not charge her friends.
A third person said she should not have charged her friends because she did not plan well. They are surprised she still has friends.
