Right, I'll try and keep it short. DD2 is 7 in August. We are having am early party tomorrow. 6 friends, small pool on garden, friends parents staying for a few drinks. All organised.
One of the girls she has invited was under duress. She has a birthday the day before DD and there has been some minor falling out with her in this group of friends. I explained to DD that it would be unfair to leave her out. She kind of agreed and reluctantly invited her.
I've just found out that the mum has organised a sleepover for her DDs birthday tomorrow night and left mine out! Even though she has agreed to come to our party during the day.
Fucking fuming is not the word. She has never done an early party. Copied us last year and got her invites out early for the same party on DDs actual birthday. So this year I done it early as DD missed out on her party last year.
I hate to be annoyed by parties as I know there is so much more going on in the world but I am so amazed by this. Speechless.
AIBU?
To be FUMING. What do I do about this party situation

How can she do this though? How can she accept the invitation then organise a party for the same day then exclude DD??
What planet is anyone on that thinks this is acceptable behaviour for an adult.
I invited her child as she is genuinely being excluded from the group of friends. She is a bit bossy etc and DD and her best friend don't really like her. I've had this happen to my older DD and I couldn't bear to see it happen to another child. 
This is the last week of school so it's a good weekend for parties and sleepovers so I don't think there is necesscerily anything sinister about the other Mum having a party and sleep over this weekend. Unless all the girls are going to the sleep over I don't see how the OP's DD is being left out.
I don't see it as a problem at all. 
. Obviously, it is not nice if the girls invited to the sleep over go on about it at the party but the OP could deal with it if it happens.
The two girls don't even like each other that much. It would have been odd of the other girl to invite her for a sleep over.
...However, If all the other girls are invited to the sleepover except the OPs DD then I would be fuming if I was the OP 
I'd be fuming too! I have a similar problem with ds his best friends birthday is 2 days before his but thankfully myself and the besties mum get on and we usually either do a joint party or work round each other.
I would make sure the 'pass the parcel' parcel didn't land on her just for my own satisfaction 
OH MY GOODNESS
I have to apologise. I'm so shamed.
I completely got the wrong end of the stick. 
Sleepover is next week and DD has been invited. She had just rocked home with the invite in her bag.
Glad that someone couldn't be that rude.
More glad I hadn't driven round to other Mums house with threats of violence which I was inclined to do at one point.
DH says I'm a knob.
