WWYD - no invite

[Anonymous]

Even if it’s an oversight, you can’t just show up. So you miss it this year. Big deal. Better to miss out than get a reputation for being boorish.

Of it was evite, check your junk mail box I have had unopened mail that was of importance that got trapped in it.

What is with all these oversight comments? Can people really not track a guest list? It's not that hard.

It wasn't an oversight. You weren't invited...maybe you are socially awkward, maybe you lack manners, maybe they want a smaller party.

Because a lot of us live in the real world where people screw up all the time. Unless there was some sort of altercation between them this year, oversight is the most likely explanation for not getting an invite when they always got one before.

Perhaps they are having a smaller party? Or inviting someone you don't enjoy and would rather not deal with the drama?

When did your friends mention the party (see you there!) and how did you respond?

Also, you are not owed an invite simply because you are neighbors.

Can you have a mutual friend ask the host “hey are the Brown’s coming tonight?” And report the answer?

Was there an Evite or Paperless Post? Check your accounts as the email may have gone to Spam.

Do not just show up.

The most likely explanation is op is purposely not invited.

Op have you seen or talked to the neighbors recently?

You should have invited them over.

^^And no, no way I would just go over or even ask. Perhaps they’re tired of hosting so many people and are doing a smaller group this year.

OP here. In response to those posts re: why we could have gotten booted off the invite list? Believe me, my husband is wondering as well:

“Why would they not invite us?”
“They sent us a holiday card! Why would they send a card if they didn’t like us?”
“They just asked us to watch over their house while on vacation.”

I really don’t know why. No falling out. We are very friendly with them and have many mutual friends. We bring a nice bottle of wine - invite them over for drinks. But who knows?

Anyway, my husband doesn’t want to go to another party we have been invited to so I want to make staying in, building a nice fire, popping some champagne and cozying up with a nice movie night with the kids make for a fun way to ring in the new year.

Otherwise, I am just going to start drinking. Maybe starting at noon.

That’s in three minutes.

I would start drinking now as well, but I only have one bottle of champagne and no food. Have to venture out and get more first.
