How old are you? I assume most adults in their 30s or older don't have time for this kind of crap.  A woman is allowed to invite your friends to a birthday party without inviting you.   You can continue being friends with all your friends - and even her, if you want.  It doesn't matter.  [/quote]

Np. True.  But why did the friends lie and not tell her why they were busy?  I think op knows she doesn't have the right to every invitation but lying is sneaky and exclusionary.

Op I would try to find another group of friends and not view them as good friends anymore.  Sorry![/quote]

That's the main point right there. Most people would say, "oh sorry, but I'm doing this or that". It sounds like they all discussed not telling her which would make me dump them all.  [/quote]
 No; it is rude to talk about events to which you are invited but other people may not be. Don’t you teach your kids that? No one did anything wrong in this scenario.[/quote]

I agree.  I would assume that with COVID restrictions, I didn’t make the cut for a small gathering— held by someone that I’m not very close to. So she’s not in your inner circle of friends and you’re not in hers. 
I can get why this might sting, but no one did anything wrong here.  
Most people would politely say that they have another commitment. Saying “I’m going to Alice’s party, did you make the cut? No?” Would potentially be deliberately hurtful and also put the host of the party in a difficult position.   [/quote]
