[quote=Anonymous]OP do you want to be invited or do you want to go? There's a difference.

I would have said "If I'm not excluded that's great, I'd love to come. I was debating asking dear sister but thought she may be excluding me intentionally. Glad to hear that isn't the case. What time is it starting and what should a I bring. " I would have then emailed the sibling host and said "Was talking to Dad and he said that you would love to have me over for Easter too. I'm looking forward to coming, let me know what I can bring."

In the above situation, they would not say no unless they have a strong reason to do so. They also can't ignore it and have the party without you in the above situation. If they want you out, they have to say so explicitly now which would be awkward for them.

In your version, you've conveyed that you were hurt that you weren't invited. Your dad has to decide whether he wants to say anything to the sibling host and get you a formal invitation. The sibling host and your parents now will feel that you are expecting an apology. They may all worry that there will be drama now at the party. It may be easier for them to just ignore the situation and not respond to you pretending nothing happened.
