imagine getting an invite to your weird friend's pity party and realizing they've been seething with hatred and resentment for their entire life

Am I wrong for throwing an "UnWedding"
Join
44m single and childless and I have an idea for something I want to do next year. I've only shared it with one person who immediately flew off the handle.
Context: At 44 l've been in at least 8 weddings, I've been to countless engagements parties, bridal showers, weddings, gender reveals, baby showers, kids birthdays and more. I've sponsored my people's kids in their jogathons, school fundraiser, etc.
Resolution: I want to throw a "Fun Uncle Shower,"
"Single Life Soirée" the "UnWedding" of the century. I want to create a registry and send invites to anyone who I have ever attended or funded the above events for. My take, if I took 3 days out of work, rented a tux, flew across the country, and bought you a breadmaker, I think you could throw $50 my way or buy me a Starbucks gift card. To be clear it's not just about the money. It's about single people being asked time and time again to hand over their time and money because two people are having intercourse regularly. Single people often pay all their own bills, and have less disposable income, but get guilted into traveling to see people with kids because "it's easier", they get ostracized from friend groups for not being a couple or parent, until their kid is selling wrapping paper. It's time to take a stand. 45, single, no kids? You get a cuarenta y cinceñera. AITA??

This is so wild to me because I mainly buy shit for my nieces and nephews because it makes ME happy! Like its cool they get fun stuff too but its even cooler being a fun aunt/uncle. Its its own reward.

Yes! Exactly! You are not 'buying shares' in the 'family and friend gift market'
