My apparent friend didn't invite me to her birthday gathering
I was in London to get presents for two of my friends birthdays, I was in selfridges buying this friend a pair of fifty pound earrings from juicy couture.
Five minutes after buying them I get a phone call asking for a lift to X's. I had to reply that X never told me about this and I have never heard of anything about this.
Right now I'm angry and out of pocket fifty pounds. I didn't phone X because it was her birthday and I didn't want to ruin it, but I don't know what I should do. Need help.

We're quite close. She always tells me about her problems and I don't think I've done something wrong cause all our conversations in the last month tend to be stupid things and jokes. I don't think I can wait for her to explain herself or she won't.
i'd have rung her up, or at least a friend that was there so they could subtly enquire
X may have genuinely forgot to invite you

She could have assumed that you knew you were invited. It's happened to me before. My friends organise events and stuff in front of me, but i'm quite shy sometimes so I'm not sure whether they're just being rude, or whether they just assume I understand I'm invited. It's kind of awkward asking if you are or not. A good way would be just to call up and ask 'Are you doing anything tonight?' and see if she invites you or makes up an excuse.

Maybe she forgot, or expected someone else to tell you.
She could have also thought you might not enjoy yourself...
Planned a seperate day for you and her...
Etc...
It might be wise to just ask. Though, if you do follow this advice, it'd probably work better if you didn't shout the question at her and didn't throw pot plants at her.
You might not be as close as you think...Why don't you just ask her why you weren't invited?
Thingeh

First one doubt it
Second one doubt it went last year and the year before for the past five years
Third one doubt it
And finally lol
thanks
If she did invites by a Facebook event, it's really easy to accidentally skip over people.
But then again if you were meant to be invited, X would have wondered why you didn't turn up and contacted you. So maybe you're not as close as you think, but then if that was true your friend wouldn't have assumed you were going and asked for a lift.
So basically I haven't been any help. If it were me I would just not contact her (and return the earrings). If she's your friend she'll contact you at some point to go out or something, at which point you can be like "oh, I thought we weren't friends any more" and then she'll explain herself.

Maby she assumed you knew you were invited? Long shot...
OP let us know how it goes and what she says, send her a happy b-day text and lay in wait..

....sorry but its a birthday gathering...its not the end of the world, me and my best friend dont expect to be invited to each others parties all the time.
maybe she had a set number of invites?
maybe if you ask her how the party/gathering was she might be like ' oh it was good, sorry i didnt invite you but (insert reason)
i think its a bit silly to get all hyped up over it =/

I would be a bit of a bitch and text "Happy birthday. Hope you're enjoying your party." So that she is aware you know you weren't invited. And make her feel bad, on her birthday.
But maybe that is just me.

shes obviously not a friend worthy of £50 earings (i couldnt even justify spending that on a dress for myself, let alone on EARINGS)
take them back and get wrecked on the proceeds....

if you doubt all that then shes definitely not as good a friend as you thought. just ask her straight out, no point in fannying about

Why would she feel bad? She didn't want the OP there, and a petty text from said OP would just prove the OP is bothered by it. If the friend is sneaky enough not to invite her and get all their other mates to remain silent about it, I doubt she cares that much about the OPs feelings.
