An un-vitation?

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't go and wouldn't send a gift. I'd send the text someone else suggested above.

This could be it. She texted all 6 of you at the same time. It's not like she texted just OP at the last minute. A check for $20.21 would be fine to drop off if you need a gift.

I would also question what kind of person she is to do this, and why I am hanging out with her. If she texted me later questioning why I did not show up, I would drop her narcissistic butt faster than a hot potato.

This is an intense reaction. Are you busy? Want to spend the evening with your friend? Then go.

This is perfect if you don't want to go.

I would go and support your friend

Only this response is required and nothing more. No gifts. No checks. No flowers or balloons.

Why wouldn’t you go? If someone invites you, you go!

OP would be offended if she wasn’t invited

I made a policy years ago: no B-list invitations. It’s either that they don’t have enough people, they forgot me, they feel guilty, or something else not good. No thanks!

How do you know if you are B list? In the current situation, it may have been a spur of the moment thing

If the party clearly was planned and had a guest list, and then I got invited later (day before a birthday party, two weeks before a wedding), I generally just politely decline. I have never felt comfortable at an event when I got invited last minute, and so I just stopped going. I am normal and social and have lots of friends, BTW.
