[quote=Anonymous]We have neighbors who used to throw a huge party every year in December for about 10 years. They stopped during Covid and pivoted in 2021 to a Memorial Day party instead, which was still indoors but was largely outside, whereas the December party was always fully inside. It was a great party the last three years and involved our entire large neighborhood friend group plus some other people they invited who don’t live here.

I was talking to someone yesterday about how we were looking forward to the Memorial Day party again and then we realized we hadn’t gotten an invitation yet. The prior years they were sent (electronically) by the end of April.

If they aren’t going to throw a party this year I may do it because it was so fun, but I don’t want to throw a conflicting party (and I’d much rather attend their party than host my own!) and I don’t think I can ask them if they’re going to throw a party this year because that sounds like I’m asking for an invitation, right? I have no reason to think I wouldn’t be invited this year and my friend wasn’t either and we haven’t heard anyone else mention it so I think it’s pretty safe to assume they have not sent out invitations yet, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not hosting it.

Can I ask them if they plan to throw the party this year? Or should I just wait and then throw something together at the last minute if they haven’t sent out invitations by that point? And to be clear, if they do throw the party and for some reason I’m not invited, I wouldn’t throw a revenge party or anything. I’m not petty, I just want to have a party with my friends like we have the last three years![/quote]
