Mine has also, but for a bday of a close friend where he was intentionally invited. He didn't mind at all being the only boy. But that seems different from not being a close friend and perhaps assuming tht whole class will be there.

It’s only hurtful if it was same gender and they were close friends and weren’t invited.

WTF? If the boy considers the girl a friend then of course it would be hurtful to be uninvited. Where would you ever get the idea that this wouldn’t be a problem just because he is a boy?

OP here. Thanks for all the advice. Ultimately I just told the mom what happened and she was very understanding. She shares the same first name of the mom I meant to message, so it was an honest mistake and she said her son would totally understand that it was girls only. My daughter is turning 7 and they aren’t really friends so I really didn’t think the boy would be too hurt.
