[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's rarely smart to get offended about being not invited to a party.

It's hard to plan parties and there's a tendency to go by category until you reach capacity. Jim's family, Jill's family, the Soccer team, the summer job colleagues, the family you've been meaning to reciprocate socially for 10 months, blah blah. The most likely answer is they just got to capacity before they reached you. It doesn't mean they don't love you more than Soccer Team member #4.

It's just a party. Have them over another time.

To say nothing of sometimes I just forget. We're all busy. Party invitations are not an expression of how much someone values you. [/quote]

Oh come on...graduation parties are generally open house type activities. There isn't exactly a strict limit as to how many people you can invite. No one arrives intending to be fed a complete meal with a placard by their seat. Neighbors not inviting friends from their own street would definitely make me re-evaluate that friendship. [/quote]

I disagree. I have a large yard and don’t have to worry about budget and I don’t consider graduation parties an open house. They’re usually a different guest list than I would make on my own. Much more centered by graduate and their relationships, plus their friends. So they bump off people like neighbors. I’m not hosting unlimited people so at some point we can’t invite everyone [/quote]
