We know they’re hosting because a few friends said “See you there!” without realizing we didn’t get invited.

Can you ask one of the friends to ask the host?

Don't put your friends in the position. Find something else to do tonight.

If it WAS an oversight and they realize it once the party is going, I assume they’re likely to pop over to get you if they notice you’re home.

As an aside, do you think there’s a reason you might not have been included? Like you don’t reciprocate or similar?

Agreed on the last point. I assume you are a bad guest.

Notice you're home? They'll be too busy.

Ugh...you are the worst. You should also assume you will make the party extremely awkward and everyone will talk about how rude you are later.

If they say it's a small gathering, and it's a rager, you know where you stand.

OMG no you don't ask why you weren't invited. That is so rude and puts them in such an awkward spot. You are right, hubs is wrong. Find something else to do.

It's not asking why. They'll feel so awkward and embarrassed if they intended to invite youand didn't. If they meant to not invite, they know the awkwardness will come at some point.

Well then, like every other adult in the world, OP should find something to do, or plan a nice but quiet evening in.

You cannot just show up. My God.

Invite them to dinner tonight.

What is it with you people and no manners ? Of course you don't go. They didn't invite you for a reason.

Good Lord. Don't be a party mooch.

It is an oversight. Somebody probably thought one spouse told you, the other spouse might have told "hey, tell them," it happens and misunderstanding. Don't know what you should do. Maybe have, as suggested, one of your invited friends ask your neighbor if you'll there, under some pretense that they have someth8ing to ask you..

Maybe the fact that you have a socially clueless and rude as all get out husband is why you weren’t invited this year?

You're not telling us something.

Not inviting neighbors who have always been invited is a big deal.

What did you or your husband do? Spill it.

I would never just show up. Make other plans and if it truly was an oversight, let them be the ones to bring it up to you.
