Having said that, it’s time to move on. And thank you for bringing awareness to this sensitive matter. |
Yes, time to move on. Disappointed though. I always make a point to invite everyone because I wouldn't want anyone to feel excluded, even if that would mean making a simpler simcha.
And yes, it's a sensitive matter. For those who don't invite, keep in mind that while yes you don't have to do anything, you might be hurting feelings.

My daughter's bat mitzvah is coming up & we're only planning to invite those that have girls around my daughters age. We need to keep the invites to a minimum and this makes most sense. |
If makes sense if you’re inviting only the girls her age but if you’re including the mothers and the other sisters in those families then it’s very hurtful to the relatives who weren’t blessed with girls that age. Especially those who wish they had a girl or another girl and now are left out of that club even more.

Did she send out formal invitations? Or was it word of mouth? Could it be that it was assumed you were invited and also assumed you weren’t interested in traveling?

Yes, there were invitations to those who were invited.
Update: she thought if inviting me, but another family member disuaded her saying that we would probably not come so she shouldn't invite us.
