[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP - this does suck.

Did the other kids have their birthdays yet? Was your family invited? 
Are the birthdays just the kids or do the adults participate, too? If adults participate, I would go ahead and send them an email or call them formally inviting them.
Is it possible the boys got their dates mixed up?

In regards to not being included in the outing, I am frequently not invited to outings because I have a kid and I have had to say no a few times. So, the invites stopped coming until I heard about something real cool that the group did that I could have attended. I casually brought it up to basically say that the event sounded like fun and I would have loved to have gone. I also said that I wont always be able to go  but I love getting the invite anyway, esp. because now that my kid is getting older, it will be easier for me to do stuff. No guilt, no pointing fingers, all said with a smile.

So...is it possible that the friends assumed you wouldn't be interested in going? Did you used to say "no" to other invites? Do you reciprocate ie. invite them to join you, plan events etc.?

I honestly don't think they were intentionally trying to slight you. And, despite celebrating your sons birthday for the past several years, it is very hard to keep up with dates without a reminder. I bet it hasnt even dawned on them that your sons birthday is the same weekend.

If you are close to them, call them and invite them to your sons party. Tell them that your son was supposed to ask the boys but you aren't sure if he did yet and you wanted to let them know sooner than later. Take it from there.
