Last week, one of the mums from school told me that she was having a party for her dds birthday and said that her dd would like to invite my dd. She told me the date & venue and said that she would be bringing the invites in a few days. She asked me if we would be able to make it and I said yes.
Today at the school gates she approached me and said that she was really embarrassed but unfortunately, she had made a mistake with the numbers and her dd had added 1 too many to the list. She said she had to be strict with numbers because of the cost spiralling and had limited it to 10 friends. And that sadly, my dd would no longer be invited. She said that her dd was really upset about it and she is really hoping that one of the others cant make it so that she can then invite my dd.
I'm pretty certain that nothing has happened in school, nothing has been said by any of the other mums and my dd hasnt said anything. She even said that she has been playing with her dd.
I have no problem with my dd not being invited to the party but I think its really mean to invite then uninvite. The play area is £8 per head for parties, am sure she could have just scraped another £8 and said nothing. I cant see money being all that tight for her, theyve just got a new car, she always has new clothes and buys expensive make-up etc.
I really feel for my daughter and think its just a horrible thing to do.

to think that you should not "un-invite" a child to a birthday party
