To think she doesn't want me there at all?

Okay so one of the mum's at school invited me out for her birthday in a few weeks.
I said yes as I had been out with her before through mutual friends.
She told me she would add me to the party group chat and she did.
However after reading the previous messages I got the feeling she was disapointed not many people where attending and it made me feel as though she only invited me for numbers.
Anyway I didn't feel comfortable last week replying on the group chat so I messaged her personally saying I'm not really keen on group chats but I'll definitely be there and what are the plans? It was completely ignored!
That brings us to today when I took a look at the group chat and the convo was really flowing, discussing gifts and things and I wondered if it was a milestone birthday so I could buy a gift accordingly, so not being the most tactful person I decided to finally join in the group chat and ask what age she would be turning. Big mistake. I think I just killed the group chat, everyone's seen and not replied.
I am an incredibly anxious person and very much the people pleaser and I feel like this is the reason i'll never meet new people because I always end up making an arse of things, I really am a nice person after the awkward beginnings Halo
So Aibu thinking she doesn't actually want me there and wibu just removing myself from the group chat even though I would possibly risk having people think badly of me?

Thank you to whoever has read this far I know it's menial but these things bother me.

If you have just moved to the area these people are not your friends - yet!!
Getting to know and make friends is tricky. But it’s worth it. Many of them have been in your place. Anxious and 2nd guessing. Turn off the notifications, check the updates when you feel like it. Add the odd comment - if you feel like it. Things like - see you there or looking forward to this.
They may not be your sort, don’t worry about what they think, concern yourself with what you think of them.

Don't overthink it and just go. You might make some new friends . Group chats are always awkward and the others might be feeling the same as you.
