[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't necessarily think it was wrong to not invite the 1 girl, but I do think this could have been an opportunity for OP and her DD to be gracious and discreet about this kind of thing. It's the polite thing to do.  OP's post makes me think it didn't play out this way which is why it's being discussed in the neighborhood.[/quote]

The party was located at an out of the neighborhood venue but the invitees all came to the house afterwards for a sleepover.  If the excluded girl lived nearby she probably saw the girls arriving and maybe even playing outside.  Possibly the other girls (and maybe even the birthday girl) talked about the party beforehand and afterwards.

I agree with the pps who have stated that something was a bit "in your face" about the whole thing to make other neighbors get offended on the girl's behalf.

Op was probably too involved in party logistics and keeping costs within reason to realize that excluding this neighbor girl would be an awkward thing to do.[/quote]
