You could start a domino effect with other parents feeling hurt that you invited so-and-so's parents but not them. Call her and tell her very nicely that the invitation was only to the classmates alone and not their parents. [/quote]

Framing it well will leave no misunderstanding. The invites are for the kids. For all you know, she thinks "ah, I don't go to these sorts of things, but I don't want to offend the mom, so I guess I'll go." The other PP explained that Confirmation invitations are for the family of Kid X. Maybe this mom's background leads her believe similarly? Since you're totally open to her coming, you can afford to be completely open. You'd love having her there, but wouldn't want to feel compelled. If you decide not to say anything to her, just trust that she's an adult and can handle a social event without a collection of familiar parents. You mentioned that at least three families will be familiar to her anyway--yours and the two best friend classmates. She'll have the opportunity to meet new people, so I wouldn't think to add more parents from the class. Just have a couple of friends make her feel welcome.

It's really sweet that you're overthinking this. It seems easily managed though.
