A Mexican teenager, Rubi Ibarra Garcia's, almost had her quiceanera
(15th birthday party) ruined after thousands of people showed up at her
birthday party, most of whom were strangers. Her Dad had made an
invitation on Facebook inviting people to his daughter's quiceanera but
forgot to make the event a private one. The Ibarra García family had
more than 1.3 million people respond to say they would attend the
celebration in La Joya, Mexico
after the video went viral.

bands will play at the blowout in the town.
Several social media sites shared the video and it quickly went viral.
Rubi took to her Facebook page and wrote in Spanish:
'To all who have arrived I ask you please do not despair because we are
really many people and we are just seeing how to speed things up,'
'I just ask for your patience so that we can all enjoy this party that was made for all of you.'

In the 45 second clip, Rubi's parents Crescencio and Ana Elda, stood on
either side of her while her father calmly extended an invitation to her
birthday party to everyone. Her father said in Spanish:
Over 1.3 million people RSVP'd to attend Rubi Ibarra García's 15th
birthday on December 26 fortunately or unfortunately, only a little
over one thousand people showed up at the party in the small village of
La Joya, San Luis Potosi State, Mexico. However, those thousands of
people including local media, still overwhelmed Rubi and her family.
Local media reported that the family were 'annoyed with the media and
with the people who do not respect the rules that they had established.'
