Do you know nothing of teen girl relationships?[/quote]

Well, I did raise four of them[/quote]

That’s surprising because as someone else with older girls, I agree with PP. If she was excluded for a reason the worst thing she could do is ask if she could come. [/quote]

My daughter and her friends are frequently invited to parties, but the people who host them are outside of their immediate friend group. If two of the girls are invited, but the other two aren’t, the invited girls WILL ask if they can bring other friends. Sometimes the hosts say sure! Other times they’ll say no. [/quote]

The exclusion may truly have been inadvertent. Invitations are now shared via WhatsApp/ Text. We hosted a birthday/ Halloween party and I helped my daughter come up with the original list.  But there are so many different groups in high school it is hard to not forget someone.

We are old school- think cotillion- manners family. But the age and tech have overcome reality for invitations where there isn’t a hard headcount.  My DD set up the party chat and shared the invitation. Then she said to please let her know who she had forgotten (and also a few people whose # she didn’t have as she was inviting more casual friends). There was also at least 1 wrong # involved.

I really think it’s ok to suggest missing friends in an invitation these days. And if it is a big party, to ask to include someone else.

I monitored the RSVP poll throughout- we did end up adding 10 people to the original list. And I reached out to a couple of neighborhood moms to be sure their daughters had gotten the text/ joined the group/ or at least knew about the party.[/quote]
