So, my friend invited me to a party and told me it was a costume party. I was all in, super excited, and went all out. I showed up in a massive inflatable banana suit, feeling like a total champ. I even made it funnier by adding sound effects, every time I jumped, it went boing (I thought it was hilarious). I walked in with all the confidence in the world, expecting to see other ridiculous costumes… and then I realized something was off. People were dressed in suits and nice dresses, and there was fancy food everywhere. Turns out, it wasn’t a costume party at all. It was a formal family dinner celebrating his grandparents’ anniversary. To make it worse, I had to awkwardly shake his grandmother’s hand while looking like a walking piece of fruit. Needless to say, they didn’t invite me to stay after that. I don’t know what was worse,the fact that I ruined my friend’s family event or that I thought it would be cool to wear a banana costume in public. Anyone else ever completely ruin their dignity in under 10 seconds?
TL;DR: Dressed up as a banana for a “costume party” that turned out to be a formal family dinner. Ended up shaking grandma’s hand in a banana suit. Didn’t stay long

I’m more interested in how the confusion happened at all.
Na
Boo , they’re boring . In your defense , who says costume party when it’s a formal event? I would’ve shown up thinking it’s Halloween themed .
A true FU & achieved life time embarrassment!
Why did they tell you it was a costume party?
Must… Not… type… grandma banana joke….
Either you misunderstood or looks like it was your friend who set you up. No one says “costume party” to refer to a formal dinner.
There’s ’fancy dress’ and there’s fancy dress
So they didn’t find it a-peel-ing?
Where do you live? Did they say it was a “fancy dress” party which to you means costumes and to others (like Americans) means “dress up in extra nice clothes/suits/dresses)?
