Is it possible that when this friend was doing the FB Invite they simply forgot to add your name to the guest list?
I think it was probably a completely innocent mistake. I know I have missed even great friends when trying to invite people on facebook, because scrolling through all my FB "friends" can be so incredibly overwhelming. It has also been glitchy for me before, where some of the people I KNOW I clicked didn't end up on the invite.
Please don't worry about this or let it hurt you dear - I'm sure your friends want you there!
Thank you girls :) the more I think about it the more I think it must have been a mistake. And honestly, I love these people and I don't want to miss out on a fun night with them just because I'm butt-hurt about not getting an invite. I'm going to let this one go I think :)
This could have VERY easily happened to me and DH since we have all those same types of friends. Yes, your friend just made a mistake. Have fun!
@swanks4tw: I swear I forget people everytime I make a facebook invite- I go through several times and still miss people. It's ridiculous! Sounds like this must be the case! Go and have fun!
@ItsPronounced_ABear: Sidenote- I still giggle at your username
Oh, yeah. A mistake for sure. There is no way they would have invited everyone except you. You would have found out through countless of other friends. Go and have a great NYE!
It does suck to not be invited, but it probably was an innocent mistake. I have forgotten to add people I LIVED with to some facebook guestlists, and it was a total accident.
That said, try not to take it to heart, go, and have fun. :)
ETA: and if the facebook invite is open for anyone to RSVP, RSVP yourselves.
Honestly, this seems like a simple oversight/innocent mistake. I'd address it. My husband and I host a lot of parties and sometimes when things to get be last-minutey and we just shoot out an all-call e-mail, I forget people. Last year for NYE we forgot to invite one couple we like a lot and are close with . . . and they didn't come and when I saw them a few weeks later I felt like an asshole. I wish they would've said something because it was mortifying to realize it after the fact and not be able to do anything about it.
As someone who throws 50+ person parties regularly, I can say that it's absolutely a mistake. I always go through my friends list and invite everyone in town and am careful not to invite out of town people who would be like, "Uh you know I'm in Germany, right?" In doing this, I sometimes miss people. I always write, "Feel free to add anyone I missed," which sounds like what your friend wrote, practically. Enjoy the party!
I'd say he probably forgot to add your names. FI and I are throwing a party on NYE, and I completely forgot to add one of FI's best friend (and, ironically, the guy that FI is probably picking to be his best man.). Luckily, the friend called us out on it, and we all had a good laugh over it once I realized my mistake.
OP, I am a notorious accidental friend skipper on FB. Something about my eyesight on those little friend icons and equating them to the people I know in real life just dosen't always work in my favor. Yes, I've been questioned and YES I felt terrible and it was an honest mistake, as it most surely is in your case. Don't stress.
Thanks you guys! You're making me feel tons better about the situation :) I went ahead and RSVP'd us for the party. The friend just e-mailed me to see if I knew how to get to the house. I'm sure he didn't even notice that he forgot to invite us :P

I'm kinda looking for some advice from the hive before I mention this to DH tonight...
We have a close group of friends that we hang out with very regularly. There are some members of the group who we see maybe once or twice a month, some every other week or so and a few that we see multiple times a week sometimes. Well today I noticed that one of our friends that we see most frequently is attending a New Year's Eve party. I think "that's cool" and click on it to see who else is going. Except then I see that he set up the event on FB himself. It's being held at one of our other friends' (an every other week type friend) houses. I scrolled through the list of people invited and every single person from our good group of friends is on the list except my husband and I, plus like 50 other people I've never heard of. In the details of the event he says "everyone is invited and feel free to bring friends" but I'm really just not sure how we got missed when he was personally checking who was invited. I mean, we hang out with this guy every single week! He was one of our groomsmen for Pete's sake. We also just had a party at our place last week with this group of people and everyone had a blast.
I know if I mention this to my husband he'll think I'm just being silly and say "well of course we're going! We don't need a personal invitation, they're our best friends!" and maybe he's right... but part of me wants a real invitation first :( At least a text saying "hey, party at so-and-so's house Saturday night."
What do you guys think?
