[quote=Anonymous]I inadvertently invited to my son's 10th birthday party a boy whom he does not get along with, and who has been very mean to him in the past. (Long story about email lists!  I goofed!  :shock.  The boy's parent accepted.  They have no idea about the negative history between the boys.  I only found out about their acceptance when reviewing responses on Evite.

My son is extremely upset about this, and is even considering cancelling his birthday party because of this, which would break his heart and mine.

At this point, short of cancelling and moving the party or doing something drastic like that, which I don't want to do, how do I handle the situation?  I would really like to be able to uninvite the other boy, without hurting his/the parents' feelings and being mean to them.  Is that even possible.  How do you even have that conversation without coming across as mean-spirited?

What are your thoughts about how to handle this?  I really appreciate your insight as to how to handle this without causing unnecessary hurt.

Thank you, and no mean comments please.
