WWYD - no invite

[Anonymous]

If you are on housesitting terms, just go and gauge thei rreaction.

My neighbors not only didn't invite us (which is fine) but sent an email explaining that they thought about inviting us but decided to have a small party instead. I would have preferred that they just didn't say anything.

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.

Bad guest? But they have been invited for parties prior. It's not like you invite your neighbors over for years and then suddenly realize that they're jerks without manners.

Seriously??? That's ridiculously rude!

Without naming your neighborhood, can you at least tell us your zip code? I mean, is this a Bethesda thing?

happy New year, ok.
please come back and tell us of any fallout tomorrow.
I think it was an oversight and they thought you were invited. any chance you missed an email?
anyway, give us the post mortem later!

[Anonymous]

I would assume it is oversight also. Check all your emails. Just go.

have not read the thread so apologies if this has been posted already, but check your spam/junk folder for the invite. About 50% of evites sent to me end up there.

Yes it was pretty ridiculous! No, we aren't in Bethesda. We are in a less expensive part of Montgomery Cty.

Just out of curiosity do people really say "holiday card?" I mean is that I thing, to send generic cards where it's unclear what the holiday being celebrated is? Otherwise why not just say "Christmas card" or "Yule card" or "Hanukkah card?" I don't get it.

And no you can't just show up.

I am just floored by the number of people who say just go. Really rude if people seriously do that. I thought people around here had better manners.

Just because you've been invited in the past doesn't mean you have a standing invite.

Yes, people say happy holidays. That’s still legal in 2017.

Update Op?
Did u end crashing the party?

[Anonymous]

OP already said they weren't going to go.

I have a friend that always forgets to invite a mutual friend to parties. The reason is because they use an old email chain and just copy and paste the addressees without double checking. Now I always ask if said friend is coming. And half time it’s “oh shit” and they text the mutual friend about the event.

OP, did you notice if they appeared to have a party last night?
