OP - Hard place to be, but if other children are not invited then, you need to accept that Larla is a young girl who is excited and has been talking about her party to probably your son and others not included.  It is too bad that Larla's parents did not realize the impact of a big party can have on classmates who are not invited especially using an Evite with all the names out there, but that is the way it is as a young child talks.  You know, too, you could do this and have your son attend and  find he was completely out of place with a very large group including some unknown kids, little structure, and a lot of noise etc.  Why take a chance on a possible negative reaction not only from Larla   on her special day, but with a lot of classmates around, too.  If you had experience with your son attending smalller parties already with his peers, it might be a bit different, but you did not mention this.

I would offer another thing to consider in that if  you skip any chance of an awkward moment for Larla's and with her Mom now, could you in a couple of weeks call and very positively praise her daughter for her thoughtfulness to your son and invite her over for a play date with you son which you might make special with say a pizza lunch or some such thing.   Even if no reciprocity which might happen, if even the friendship in school could continue that would be worth so much more than one party invite.  Think, too, that if your son has a birthday, this is one student who most likely would enjoy coming.  And if you do plan a party for your son,  you might ask the teacher what kids hang with him the most and keep it small and invite by phone directly maybe before even telling him so you could gauge what might be done by response.  Then send paper invitation by mail to followup.   I would not call, consider an overnight trip somewhere and take a chance on the future.[/quote]
