[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] The way the invitation was worded i assumed too we were invited to the party. I rsvp'd my child +1, my husband would go. I received an email from the mom uninviting us. We thought we were being nice by having at least one of us attend. We're not familiar with the tradition - the first one my child attended, he went to the ceremony and party. He was asked why had we not come to the party, so I decided to be cautious with our second invite and rsvp'd for one of us to go. I was really put off when the mother emailed and uninvited us, both my husband and I thought the invites were not clear we were not to attend.

She didn't "uninvite" you!  You assumed you were invited in the first instance, but you weren't.  The OP of this post is being extremely kind and gracious, which is awesome, but it would also be socially acceptable to contact the parent and clear up the misunderstanding.[/quote]

In my experience, the people invited to the event are the ones on the envelope, just like for any event including weddings. Others are welcome to the service, but only the addressee(s) are invited to the reception. And, as with any invitation, when in doubt, ask! It was never weird for my parents not to come to a b'nai mitzvah party. More time to hang out with friends without direct supervision! :)[/quote]
