[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the feedback (OP here).  It may be possible that I said or did something that the host mom didn't like, or that I offended her in some way, but it seems so unlikely.  And she is such a nice person (or at least, that is how she always seems) that she doesn't seem like the type of person to take offense easily.  That is partly why I am so puzzled as to why we weren't invited.

It definitely wasn't an impromptu thing, as there were guests from outside of the neighborhood there, and there were party games, favors, etc.  She seemed to be directing everything, so I don't think the party was put on by a friend.

Someone asked whether we talked at the party. As I posted earlier, I said (to her, and her son) in a jovial way, 'is that the birthday boy?' (I knew it was, because he was dressed nicely and had a birthday crown) and she told me that he just turned 4.  She didn't seem sheepish or embarrassed or anything like that.

The more I think about it, the more I think that maybe she just doesn't feel as close to me and my kids as she does to the other moms and their kids.  And the fact that my daughter doesn't 'aggressively socialize,' as a PP aptly put it, adds to that.  (Still, if it were me, I would have invited everyone in the group, especially since it was so likely that I was going to walk in on the party anyway).

I would never in a million years say anything to the host mom, and I will treat her the same.  (And I will invite her family to my daughter's birthday party later this year).  I do wonder, however, if the other mom (the one who gave me a surprised look that sort of said 'oh, i am sorry that you weren't invited to this') might say something to me the next time i see her.
