How well do you know the mom?

If she is a friend, or someone who has mentioned the previous laser tag incident, then I think calling her would be kind. I might phrase it more like "Johnny would really love to celebrate with Michael. If there's anything we could do to make it easier for Mikey, please let us know. If he's not up for it, maybe we can do ice cream and a movie later in the week so they can still celebrate." That way, if there's a strategy that might help (mom or dad staying, sending an older boy as a coach, getting there early so he settles in slowly), she can suggest it.

If this is a mom you don't know, then I think that pointing out that you know that the last time went badly will make her feel like people are gossiping about her kid. If she RSVP's no, then I'd follow up with "Johnny was disappointed that Mike couldn't make it. Can we plan another outing for the two of them later in the week?"

I know her through the kids, that's all.  The boys play together once a month or so outside of school, so mostly just coordinating drop off and pick ups.  She did bring up to me the fact that last time went badly when we picked our kids up from the other laser tag party, but if she doesn't recall us having that conversation, she could think people were gossiping.  They really weren't.[/quote]
