2. You can do better next time. 
 If my budget cannot accommodate that group, then I scale back the party rather than separate the group. It is always better to be socially sensitive, rather than focus too much on planning the perfect party!

I whole heartedly agree with you, and would want our kids to be friends. Yes, of course OP you are free to plan whatever celebration you want for whatever celebration you want. BUT when they exclude people, you don't get to be surprised or indignant there are hurt feelings. Telling the other family, even just in your head "that's life" and they should just accept it, says to me that you didn't consider other kids feelings. If this is the only kid who was excluded from your daughter's social circle, it sure seems to me there was room in the budget to make it extra special and include one more. At the end of the day, and our memories of childhood, it is the friendships and experiences that count not the goody bag.
