Too be annoyed at this parent...

[Confusedmomma]

So I'm arranging a birthday party , and in my childs class there are 4 child with the same hyphenated name L-M. Except one of the 4 her mother decided she was a special snowflake and her first name is 3 names all hyphenated L-M-E.
So as I'm writing the invites in a rush I accidentally write them all as L-M , no big deal right?
Well on Friday , the mother pulls me and says my child would attend your childs party but it seems you've given us the wrong invite. It's says L-M not L-M-E , and I'd like an invite with her correct name on and just walks off. Is it me or is she being a bit dramatic? I have a double name and have no problem having my name shortened , my mother never did. Am I right too be a bit annoyed or was I wrong for not putting her daughters full name?

Op i have a traditional name that only has two real well known spellings and one very unknown one, and my mom decided to pick the unknown one!
Noone has ever been able to spell my name, including managers
Once someone even asked me if that was really how I spelt my name, or if i'd misspelt it
I don't get annoyed nor has my family, what is the big deal, really?

I am another one who thinks the mother of Lily-Mae-Elizabeth is being a PITA, over-reacted and quite dramatic and precious quite frankly.

I honestly believe she knew quite well it was for her daughter (why else ask for her full name to be put on the invitation). Anyone else would probably say something along the lines of: "I'm sorry, is this for Lily-Mae-Elizabeth just that I'm not sure if this has been given to the right person because it says Lily-Mae" (And even then, she is being ridiculous. Anyone in possession of an invitation, even if it is for the wrong person, is unlikely to be made aware of the mistake or turned away!)

If this was me, I would simply say; "I am sorry to have missed off your child's third name. It was a genuine mistake as I am aware that everyone calls her Lily-Mae and her father refers to her as Lils. But the invitation is for your daughter. We would love for her to come bu unfortunately I am unable to provide a new invitation".

If she declines, so be it! I am sure other mum's would catch wind and then decide to leave out the precious Lily-Mae-Elizabeth in future birthday events to save themselves the hassle of a PITA of a mother. Shame for the child, but as someone said, she is unlikely to refer to herself as Lily-Mae-Elizabeth as she gets older and will probably need counselling and hate her mother forever!
