[quote=Anonymous]as a geeky girl... actually being invited and then ostracized at the party itself is often worse... And for those trying to say mean girls get their come-uppance later -- often they don't. Many are doing just fine. Some girls will always be more 'popular' than others at school & there will be friend groups or cliques. I would just reinforce that some friends are closer than others and many people can only invite 10 or whatever people to the party - people can be friends in different ways and don't always go to each other's parties (who knows in middle school when friend groups jumble again, the 3 kids you are hanging with now, one may end up a queen bee, one a wannbe and one a book worm with only one bestie). Make plans that night but completely decontextualize your plans from the party and don't bring it up again unless your daughter dwells on it (ie. don't feed it but sounds like you already may have!)
