[quote=Anonymous]We recently sent out invitations for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah in the fall, and today we got an RSVP back from a boy in her class, which replied yes for both the boy and the mom.  The boy was invited - as were all the children in my daughter's class of 24 kids, but we hadn't invited the mom.   In fact, we only invited two sets of parents from the class.  The people we invited are people we are close to; we did not invite anyone else from the class or the school, and this isn't going to be a huge affair (100 guests total, 55+ of whom are children).

I really like the mom who RSVP'd yes and am actually totally happy that she will come.  She is a very nice person, and my daughter and I both agreed that if anyone were going to make this mistake and read an invitation addressed to her son as also addressed to her, then we are happy it was she.  My question is whether I should now invite a few other parents from our class, or whether she will feel funny coming and being one of only two parents there.  Of the two sets of parents from the class whom we invited, one is having a baby right around then, so they are not likely to come.  The other set of parents are my daughter's best friend's parents.  I worry that when the mom in question gets to the Bat Mitzvah, she will realize that there is no one else from the class there and will feel funny that she RSVP'd yes.

I am actually fairly friendly with a couple of other moms in the class - friendly enough to have coffee but not really to invite them to an event like this, but I am wondering now if I should send them (and their spouses, where relevant) invitations too.  Of course these would have to go out as just to the parents, since I already invited the children.

WWYD?  I don't want this mom to come and feel awkward.  My daughter is the only Jewish child in her class, and I know for sure that most of the children have never been to a Bat or Bar Mitzvah, so it's possible that the mom didn't realize that this is sort of a special event and not really a "come one, come all" sort of thing.

Advice?  Thanks!
