What to think?

[Wickedesque]

My 6 year old child was at a birthday party last weekend. While there I was speaking to another mum and she stated her child's birthday party was next weekend and my son is invited. We spoke at length about this and discussed presents she may like etc.
The child gave out the invitations during the week and my son did not get one. What is going on?

As you spoke about it, I’d guess that one or other child lost the invite. In these circs I think it’s fine to message the mum to check.

I'm thinking it's possible the child changed her mind and no longer wants him there. There is no issue between them in school both children are shy and very placid.
I just dont want to seem pushy.

How do you know invitations were given out this week?

Quite short notice if they were.

He came home and told me.

I think if you had an in depth conversation with her about the party, I would pop her a polite message because i would assume your child was invited. But i do understand you worrying about asking.

Just say " Hi xxxx, Fred has told me George handed out his invites but Fred seems to have lost his! I know you invited us last week..could you please send me the details so i can pop it on the calendar before anything else comes in? Thanks!

The before anything else comes in will make her think your child is invited to lots of things! Which might be true but just a psychological edge 😉

I really really doubt that they changed their minds and uninvited your child... if you spoke last week about the party, presents etc I'd assume the invitation just got lost or something! Definitely text

Just message and ask her to confirm date/time for you ...

OK thanks for the replies xx
