Met my friend at toddler group when our kids were 2. 10 years on and we still meet once a week for coffee. Our girls have play dates and we support each other in our relationships mostly via txt! Girls meet for birthday party's etc.. always got on great.
Sounds great dosnt it?
But I didn't get invited to her daughters communion and a mutual freind (who she only got to know via me 2 years ago via me) went. Am I right to feel pissed off??

I was at my neices first holy communions last week and it wasn't by invitation. You just basically turn up for the communion Mass and the children have a celebration party afterwards.
I didn't invite any of my friends to my daughters- they just turned up ....I'm sure she didn't think you would need an invite and I bet she didn't invite the other friend either .

Patricia,
Yes your right to be very annoyed and feel very hurt .
A similar situation happened to me, it was a Christening for two twin girls and I thought I would be asked to be godmother as I am catholic and she is my very best friend and our elder children are very best friends and went to nursery together and see each other all the time.
I was at the Christening but was not asked to be godmother.
I know it is because my daughters father isn't catholic and we are not married.
So my question would be, are you catholic?
Has your daughter taken communion?

No she had a fair few family coming from France and I helped her get beds arranged ect. She told me about family meal booked at hotel but never mentioned party at house once. I only found out after asking to see pics of daughter in dress and then saw party pics in same album. Felt well gutted.

Communion isn't an invitation thing where I am. It's parents and, if available, grandparents. It's not like a wedding. Certainly no favour bags! I've never heard of that at a communion! They do it with all their classmates so there is no way the chapel could accommodate tonnes of family members. Is it a very different affair where you are?

I hope that as you were helping with arrangements she probably considered you 'family' and didn't think to give you a formal written invitation. Otherwise that's a really tacky thing to do, to have someone help organize an event and then not invite them.
