They all play together nobody has fallen out? I have invited whole class to d/d party a one off but it sort of bugs me. My d/d was left out! I know so petty in big plan of things but sort of suited me not to go but still a bit miffed about it.

really?

fryalot · 09/05/2007 16:42

was she off on the day the invites went out?

cece · 09/05/2007 16:42

Are you sure she didn't lose the invite?

Are you sure everone except your dd is invited?

Has your daughter said anything?

Probaly best not to find out...what's the point. Perhaps she was just forgotton, another innocent reason. What will finding out achieve? How old is she? Is she upset by it?

Was it really only her that wasn't invited?
Of it was I'd say it was an oversight. If thre were a few I'd say it was down to numbers and them only being able to have say 12 ans there's 15 int he class, or something like that.

Must fel shit though, i'd want to know for sure why if it was me as well I have to say. Sorry

Happened to my ds the other week too - all the children in the playgroup were invited bar him. He didn't care one way or the other - too young - but it did bug me a bit. Gave myself a severe talking to though for letting it bother me

Welcome to my world! That has been DD1's entire childhood. She has probably only been to about 5 parties her whole life, whilst her best friend was invited to that many every term! We had a birthday party for her every year to try and stimulate a few more invitations, but to no avail. It bothered her and it bothered me, and it does feel horrible to think that other children don't think as much of your child as you want them to. Missing out on one invitation doesn't necessarily mean that thsi will happen to your child, though. You may feel miffed, but hopefully it is a one-off and will be forgotten.

Happened to my ds1 the other week too - all the children in the nursery (30) were invited, boys and girls, except 4
I thought it was mean, but was shocked when the day before the party the mother had the nerve to send 2 of the boys (ds1 included) an invite because 2 children couldn't make it and she didn't want to loose her money
We didn't go obviously, cheeky mare!

Happened to my DS too when he was that age. I think it's more common than you think!

How do you know majority of class was invited? As you say the majority then obv not the whole class went. Party's can come down to cost, it's simple as that. It's easy for parents to give a number to invite and they have just forgotten to invite your dd. This is just natural and i am sure she will get invited to party's when others won't. How many are in the class? It is very expensive to invite a whole class. I did this for ds in reception but won't do it again. He is only in a class of 22 so if i restrict the numbers it will seem like the majority have been invited if you get me.

she was off actually. Definately wasn't the only one but there was alot of invites more than the usual if it is venue iyswim. Do you know something today i do feel like pulling the mum's hair . only joking ofcourse so unlike me

d/d said on way home it is not very nice not to be invited I'm not going to invite bla bla to mine . Don't worry love we won't be. haven't heard from her in reply to d/d. just feel like dropping it in.

I know get a life!! thanks for replies. To be honest though my d/d is very popular and has been invited to lots of parties. AS someone said nobody like their child to be left out. She definately wasn't the only one.
