ok i'll keep it as brief as i can, my best friend has just had a baby and its my birthday soon so we have arranged a joint night out in a few weeks celebrating my birthday and BFs new babys arrival. its me, my best friend, and some of her friends.

i thought i would also invite 4 of my friends too and sent out a FB message on sunday night to all of them asking them out (they know and like BF but arent as close to her as me iyswim)

well, all of them who i have invited have just ignored the message - i know this because they have all been on facebook regularly since the message posting statuses etc Hmm

aibu to be a bit hurt? i'm not sure what to do, whether to contact them and say, oi, did you get the message (but then i might look like some desperate idiot) or shall i just say nothing?

i am 31 by the way, not 16, but its made me feel like that :(

They have probably not seen the message, I've known a few people say they don't see Facebook messages recently (and no reason to not believe them or get paranoid about it!) I don't think it's very reliable.

Text them all now

i am the same re events, i usually never bother looking at them as i have a lot of friends on fb in bands etc and its usually people spamming me to come to see their shit band :o

can't you phone them?

My facebook messages don't show up as notifications anymore, I only found out when I put something on a for sale board for next to nothing and hadn't had any inbox notifications. When I actually clicked into my inbox there were loads of messages!
This could be what is happening to your friends. Maybe you could write on their walls something like " Hiya did you get my inbox"?

The notifications on fb are a bit hit and miss atm

I would text or phone them
