There may be something more precise than what I'm remembering, but here are some:

One-Person Birthday Party if the character is throwing a party but no one shows up. Locked Out of the Loop if a party got cancelled and no one told a character. May also come with a tumbleweed for comic effect.

There's also Late to the Tragedy, Slept Through the Apocalypse, or Humanity's Wake for more epic situations of this kind.
